There's the Nose Ring Theory
There's "pronouns in bio"
There's Aposematism (women with hair dyed in non-natural colors)
and then there's "Y'all"
The y'all phenomenon is not new: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/yall-cant-behave
While the first 3 are visual, y'all is aural.
I was watching a Critical Drinker video and it really cemented my subconscious feelings on this issue.
The topic under discussion (new Predator slop good or bad) isn't important but basically while the panel don't like it, they weren't overly harsh on it.
Anyway, I went through most of the comments. Most of them were positive (they agreed it sucked), some were neutral, and a few were negative (they disagreed, they like the slop). No surprises so far.
I did a search for yall and y'all to see if there were any patterns and there were.

(obviously one person in that screenshot is using y'all in jest)
Almost every commenter (minus 1 or 2) that uses y'all in their comment also has the opinion that Critical Drinker and friends are wrong and that the Predator slop is good actually. It's not enough to say "I disagree and here's why" like a normal person and not a bitch but you have to explicitly state that you're talking to everyone/y'all.
What is it about the word "y'all" that makes identifying shitlibs so easy? What is it about shitlibs gravitate towards making "y'all" a major part of their vocabulary?
My theory is that shitlibs like to sound like teachers or to act like your moral superiors and think highly of themselves, and they are doing the world (eg y'all) a service by imparting knowledge or the correct opinions (tm), often in a scolding undertone, like a teacher to a student. It's almost narcissistic how they feel the need to specify that they are talking to everyone who is reading.
Actually pay attention to anyone who posts "y'all" on the comment section of anything or reddit or any other forum. More often than not, the comment will have a patronizing, scolding, disagreeable or generally negative tone.
eg "y'all are ignorant..."
"y'all are completely wrong..."
"y'all don't understand..."
"y'all need to educate yourselves..."
"y'all grifters"
These type of comments far outnumber comments like: "y'all are educated!" "y'all are completely correct" "y'all making lots of sense" "what y'all saying are flawless and bulletproof" etc
The word y'all seems to have an inherently negative (and shitlib) flavor. It's like the word consequence. Technically there is a difference between a positive consequence and a negative consequence but in common language, everyone uses the latter.
tl;dr as soon as someone says y'all, you can almost always throw their opinion in their trash
Edit: I also recognize that normal White and Black southerners use y'all as part of normal daily speech which I have no problems with.
