Alt: There are numerous different forms the alternative within a Queer Theory Kritik can take, which typically stem from the literature base and lens those authors take. For example, authors like Stanley (a nihilist) typically advocate for refusal - refusing the ideas of antiqueerness in debate through rejecting the Aff - as well as broader calls for revolt or similar.
