Re: Invitation of a Feminist Critique of the Process Forum
I'm trying to imagine this series of questions being asked of a Camaro-lovers forum:
Quote:
Is F-body distinction a legitimate moral foundation for an art, subcultural and automobile social website such as this? In other words, is vehement exclusion of all model depictions and topics to a separate category with limited internal demarcation and representation, (arguably "separate but equal but not actually equal"), justifiable? (Consider the category title "Everything Else" which doesn't just pragmatically include obscurer topics but the entirety of Mustang-focused media.) Does the topic of "process of racing and restoring" constitute a morally legitimate foundation for a network of social interactions?
Does the Camaro Forum actually "celebrate" its subject matter by embracing all variations, expanding boundaries and questioning itself to better improve its ethical treatment of its subject matter, or does it "objectify" its subject matter by establishing rigid categorization and treatment and disallow self-identification that may contest its viewpoint? Does favoritism constitute prejudice? Or does the forum qualify for favoritism as opposed to exclusion and exclusivity? Where does one draw the line between preference and objectification?
What is the functionality "F-body" or "Camaro" in the context of this forum? (This question may elucidate answers to previous questions.) How does "F-body" operate here? What is its dialectical function, if any? Or, if it doesn't have any, is this problematic?
Is this website F-body-normative? If so, on what basis and does that constitute a justifiable foundation for a social media site? How does "engine block replacement" function within the site? Is it an identity allowed a concept of agency? Or is it objectified: are powertrains functioning as a subconcept of "objectified self"---the transformation from V6 to V8 or supercharged being a role enforcement mechanism utilizing the sadomasochistic spectrum?
