You're absolutely right Imp. I accidentally interpreted the word subversive backwards here, like he was saying censorship triggers the female urge to please authority and that the internet allows them to safely act as virtua-gestapo to please the censors.
Basically in my head, this effect caused this particular woman to jump the shark to serve her authorityology, seething from a feigned position of righteous authority about even wordless emojis being a medium for wrongthink. So like, subversive against humanity.
But I see now it's totally obvious he was saying the absolute opposite and that I am a turbo autist :P
Edit: that last part is not meant to sound sarcastic
I agree with Orwell and the Imp in general about women being the fiercest supporters of the party. But there are always going to be some people, including women, who don't buy the party line. I find it interesting that censorship can signal to people that they're guilty of wrong think. Just knowing that wrong think exists and that it has enforcers can be an awakening for some. This is something that we have in common with the "antivaxxers" in the article.
Actually, Orwell predicted that women would have undying loyalty to The Party.
I have the quote somewhere.
