Feels like the logical conclusion to Gen Z’s obsession with Intersectionality. Victims are bestowed the most social capital and therefore victim-status is incentivised. If you’re a middle-class, white girl, for example. What hope have you got unless you create a victim-status for yourself? In this context it works kinda like a reverse Maslow hierarchy of needs, with the most privileged in society becoming the most needy. For some reason, I’m always reminded of my first-aid training: in the aftermath of an accident, don’t to the person screaming first, go to the one making no noise.
