These same people keep saying that Protland, Austin, and San Francisco are good because they are weird.
Suddenly JD Vance points out they're useless, childless, cat-ladies; and now he's supposed to be "weird" as "bad".
Women use "weird" in two different ways.
For those cities, it's self-referential for how "charmingly quirky" they are because of how they conform to non-conformism. The manic pixie dream girl trope is the epitome of this.
But when a woman uses "weird" against someone else, it's social signaling to tell other women that their social status will be lowered if you associate with that person. Think the cheerleader talking about the weird kids in the chess club.
The Mean Girls tactic would probably work better if it was actually coming from the Cool Kids. As it is it's all coming from a bunch of freaks and crazy cat ladies.
It'd be like if the guy who used to eat food out of the trash can in high school was calling me "weird". Yeah dude, I'll definitely take that feedback into consideration.
You're absolutely correct. But remember, all women think they're 10s.
Until they see an actual 10 and it triggers their massive inferiority complex. Then it becomes all about destroying the 10 so that their 6 becomes a relative 10 again.
