Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain.

Addendum the short - presented by Ekpunobi (with help from her co-conspiracy theory fantasists) - imagines a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific, which they position in #MetaphorThreatExistential terms. Significantly, the piece attempts to strengthen an emerging #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem (composed of business people who are ideologically invested in a #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation) while also, seeking to #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising (or perhaps more aptly, #BeliefTheismProselytise) the short's audience into the ways of #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarketFundamentalism. In doing so, then piece begins with Ekpunobi offering up her #MetaphorConfessionOfTheReformed (of Ekpunobi seemingly #MetaphorBlindnessDeafnessVsSeeingHearingTheTruth through rejecting #BehaviourTolerance i.e. so-called #TauntWokeness in favour of what appears to be some version of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation crossed with #ConspiracyTheory_CulturalMarxism). In doing so, the short seeks to concretise (what #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx might understand as a form of #TheoryReification ^[Wikipedia] ) where a contemporary cultural phenomenon (what #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz understands as #TheoryHypercultureHybridity) as a so-called #MetaphorWarfareCulture - perhaps, what #IRLScholarErvingGoffman might understand in #TheoryFrameAnalysis terms as some sort of 'frame shifting' - where such a phenomenon takes on the form of a #MetaphorWarfareFactionalism / #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight staged by people invested in #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive, which is replete with #MetaphorWarfareHero.s and #MetaphorWarfareEnemy.ies (or, perhaps more aptly #MetaphorPretencePantomimeVillain.s). The short includes aspects of #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreDocumentaryTravelogue ^[Wikipedia] (through including references to Ekpunobi travelling to #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennesseeNashville and #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaOrlando). Through its choice of interview subjects, the piece somewhat seeks to imply that the we are in the midst of a #MetaphorTransformationSeaChange ^[Wikipedia] brought on by the #MetaphorGenerationTheYounger overthrowing the #PoliticsStatusQuo (instead of the reality, that the piece is aimed at #IdentityConservativeYoung who are much more likely to be resistant to social change efforts).

Desmond pegs his start in the world of drag to 2015, when videos of him vogueing at the New York Pride parade went viral; at one point, a high kick sent a flip-flop soaring over the crowd. Next came gigs channeling Gwen Stefani and David Bowie, along with runway shows for Gypsy Sport and the Blonds. 'Other moms are a soccer moms,' Ms. Napoles said. 'They take their kids to practice, to games, they cheer for their kids. That's how I see myself with drag.'" https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/07/style/self-care/drag-kids-desmond-the-amazing.html #2015_ #IdentityDragQueen #IdentityLGBTQIATransgenderYouth #PhenomnSexualityHypersexualization #IRLEntertainerJorgeAlcantarAKAXochiMochi ^{[fact-checked]} #IdentityDragQueen #2001_ItsOkayToBeDifferent #PhenomnDragQueenStoryHourDQSH ^[Wikipedia] #2017_

Addendum #TheoryAffectiveResponsePanic post, which uses the same meme to frame its #ReasoningFallacyArgumentumAdPopulum i.e. "The event took place as planned and images and video quickly circulated across social media showing children looking at male-groomers dressed as clowns, along with armed Antifa guarding the whole event. Roanoke is a small town on the edge of the DFW Metroplex known for quality restaurants and trying to be normal. Many people say these types of events attract pedophiles. Protect TX Kids has a video of a leftist woman whipping out her breasts in public, right in front of her children." https://www.currentrevolt.com/p/small-town-tx-armed-antifa-guard

in context with the above, the mention of #IdentityDragQueen #IRLEntertainerDesmondNapolesAKADesmondIsAmazing is posed as a 'morality tale' about the consequences of straying from #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionValues

Addendum this images projects the poster's #MetaphorThreatExistential, which the #CharacterisationEmasculationAmbiguityAndrogyny of seeing #IdentityLGBTQIATrans people reading to (and therefore interacting in a natural way with) children. Their #TheoryAffectiveResponseBewilderment seems to stem from an assumed framing where the actions of so-called #OtheringOutGroupTransgressiveDeviant are assumed to be #IdentityLGBTQIACodingHypersexualization and therefore present a paradox - contrasting 'deviance' with 'childhood innocence' i.e. #TheoryPoliticsOfInnocence. Of course, the obvious alternative, interpretation is that queer ≠ assume hyper-sexuality. Ironically, a family, by definition necessitates sexual intercourse (or at least, some sort of exchange of genetic material) - and so, if the above logic is followed, it would be #PhenomnSexualityHeterosexuality couples who pose the greatest threat not trans people. But then, these things aren't about logic, they're about (among other things) a #MetaphorThreatExistential felt through the perceived #CharacterisationEmasculationAmbiguityAndrogyny of contemporary social change. #_Focal i.e. this tweet represents a persistent theme, which sets trans against notions of the 'traditional family'. #MetaphorWarfareHeroGuardianOfChildhoodInnocence

"What is wokism? A monoma of hyper-sensitive Western teenagers wanting to wipe out the past. Wokism is the meeting of Maoism and the Disney Club; the bastard and cruel child of the worst of the egalitarian cultural revolution and ultra-liberalism in a 'my body, my choice' way. Everything becomes possible, to the point of denying the most elementary biology. 'I am a woman' because I have decided it. 'I' can even be a dolphin or a cat. Everything is allowed, especially the most stupid, as long as the parents are unhappy. By the term 'parents', one must also understand authority, standard, country and civilisation. The avowed aim of all these tendencies is indeed to put down all that we are, all that we were. They want to strike out from executives everything that is not a visible minority, applying unambiguous and tyrannical prior censorship that will stop at nothing." https://lincorrect.org/woke-nom-de-code-pour-anti-blancs-anti-heteros-societe-lincorrect/ #PoliticsProgressivismSocialLiberalism #PhenomnColonialism #IdentityFirstNations #IdentityLGBTQIA #CauseFeminism #IdentityWhite #PhenomnSexualityHeterosexuality #MetaphorThreatExistential

Context in essence, Lindsay is struggling with a concept, which is primary to #TheoryPostmodern: that knowledge is cultural contingent and therefore any single knowledge is only one of many *knowledges*. This is an epistemological issue, which those in the humanities and social sciences reconciled quite some time ago i.e. 20-30+ years ago. One can only presume that the mileage of posing it as a shared #MetaphorThreatExistential i.e. its #TheoryAffectiveEconomies potential is the driver here. #EpistemologySociallyConstructedKnowledge SociallyConstitutiveSociallyConditionedDiscourse EpistemologyKnowledgeSociallyConstructed

#NMUSBloombergOpinionTylerCowen ^[tweet] "Too many critics of wokeism make the mistake of focusing on purely local status relations. They are obsessed with the influence of woke forces in their intellectual communities -- their universities, their media universe, and so on. Oddly but perhaps appropriately, this is exactly the mistake that the woke themselves make. " https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-09-19/woke-movement-is-global-and-america-should-be-mostly-proud #TauntWokeism #IRLActorSydneySweeney and #IRLActorBrittanyOGrady in #TVTheWhiteLotus "The French clearly see wokeism as a carrier of American cultural influence. 'French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas -- specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism -- are undermining their society,' the New York Times reported in February".
