The most misunderstood theory on this planet. Period.
This theory was only meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but I guess some people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for someone to understand this theory, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am specifically referring to the philosophical theory that Adorno & Horkheimer invented, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.

Get the Critical Race Theorymug. A male who has no brain cells as-well-as refers to stuff in such a manner that makes it comedic for others to enjoy of the shear ignorance. They also refer everything foreign to a slang term. And they are incredibly spastic.

Get the dance criticmug. A disease which slowly rotts the frontal lobe. This disease can be caused from many incidents such as not saying "no homo" after accidently making eye contact at yo homie for longer than 5 seconds, unironicly dabbing, laughing at minions memes, and much more!
