Are you dumb? Sure op is trying to bait info that direction but most Shakespeare trutherism revolves around him being a nobleman like the earl of Oxford (pic related) or Sir Francis Bacon. And it’s far older than any social justice movement. Some of the frost people to bring up the idea were Joseph Coleman Hart in 1848 or Tomas Looney 1920 and most of there arguments revolves around classism.
Also “straight”

Feminists are colonizing history and literature. (What would call that, historo-colonialism, temporal-colonialism or literary colonialism?) What's worse is, they are colonizing the very life and character of the author himself.

Uh, no. Some of it is just English being young as a literary language and not yet having gone through the rigors of 18th-century classicism, some of it is Shakespeare's poetic enthusiasm that sometimes outpaced his sense, and a lot of it can be attributed to poor or inaccurate transcription by the actors who put together the first editions. But Shakespeare was obviously highly literate.

That's temporal colonialism. Really though, more right-wingers should learn the language of leftist academese and their modes of critiques so they can use it against them.
