No.
You're doing none of this.
You're retroactively applying the motivations of some of the writers of a cartoon to the entire body of work, as well as to somebody taking a single frame out of context.
You ain't advocating for shit; you're advertising your own high opinion of yourself and disdain for others. You have petty insults, and actually applaud yourself for thinking that is advocating reform.
Your entire game is reacting to anything you disagree with. You are the perfect example of the word.
And even if I were opposing social reform (which I'm not; I'm trolling morons on a forum), that's not what reactionary means. Because reactionary behavior exists everywhere on the political spectrum; it has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are "left" or "right". And guess what? Gaslighting is another common tactic of reactionaries. Oops.
nope, I said none of that. you're playing make believe.
I'm advocating for social and political reform through racial sensitivity, you are "reacting" against that reform.
you're a reactionary.
