I’ve come around to the point of view that white males throwing around cracker in online forums is cringe but that’s as far as I’ll go.
Like, they’re identifying with the targeted group when actually they’re part of the privileged group and you don’t get to just disown structural privilege like that which makes it cringe for that group to throw around. Edgelord leftists who hate their privilege which is great but seek to disown it at the same time which isn’t actually possible. Cringe.
People who are not white male teens / early 20s / tech bros can use it as much as they like imo.
