However, there's been some confusions between actual alt girls and girls who claim to be alt but they're not. The girls that claim to be "alt-girls" are those who say things like Hello Kitty says ACAB, KAM (in a serious manner for petty reasons), and bully basic girls. They also use AAVE (African American Vernacular English) excessively and/or in the wrong manner, even when they're not black people. They also take part in gender wars and that's not okay. Their activism is extremely performative and give the wrong idea of what left wingers are supposed to be like. We refer to the ones who claim to be alt-girls but not, as Emily.
