isaid this on oomfs tweet but i really dont think the "you can like something while being critical of it" thing applies to mbti because its not like a tv show or a videogame its an entire system built on racism sexism classism etc. and theres really no reason to keep using it
if you like cognitive functions Say you like cognitive functions. there are so many other options and it is so easy to distance yourself from mbti and use them instead. most people here already use cog functions its really not that hard to stop calling it mbti
when you already know the history of mbti and everything awful about it theres absolutely Zero reason to keep using it and when you stop it will be so much easier for people to understand that cog functions =/= mbti. its very easy to use the correct name
and separating the two when you dont actually try to change the way you interact w your interests (like calling 4 letter types mbti types) does nothing. saying "i dont like mbti i like cognitive functions" when you dont try at all bc its more convenient to use mbti does nothing
also you still need to be critical of cognitive functions and similar things because they are not perfect and even if you distance yourself from it you cant deny the impact mbti has had on typology as a whole so dont act like it is 100% unproblematic even if its a different thing
