I doubt anyone has been calling themselves a “doomer”. There are people on this site who wouldn’t ever get called that but I haven’t seen anyone else here label anyone a “doomer” yet. So it seems that you’re left with people who don’t frequent this site and would probably dismiss your arguments as “a doomer complaining about being called a doomed”?
Did I miss people call each other “doomer” on LW? Did you also post something like this on Twitter?
I think sometimes it happens, either as a form of shortcut (Twitter character limits, alas) or a sort of reclamation of the terms. Usually in response to someone who used it demeaningly first.
Who is the target audience for this?
