They’ve already decided rape is fine. Now they’ve decided child rape is fine too.
Having a pedo rapist as Preznit has opened the door wide for these fucking losers to just say it all out loud. Just look at the game Pragmata— there used to be a time when you’d goon after a CHILD like that and you’d get reported and removed. Their new motto: “Our Preznit iz a Pedo so itz ok lawl wut u mad libruls???”
JFC this is a meme of all time
” I could stand in the middle of 5th ave and rape a child and I wouldn’t lose a single vote!” 🫲🍊🫱
They don’t look cool or intimidating.
Got sick and tired of those looks so I stopped making them question their reality.
next step is conservatives defending esptein.
They’ll also grumble something about DOW at 50 thousand
My friend dropped her phone and cracked the screen. It was a bad day and she started crying and all I had to say was the Dow is at 50K it’ll be okay.
The ones left really are the most retarded people on the planet.
You look like them when you drop the r-slur. Don’t let their shit behavior and punching down make you worse.
Nah. I’m good. I never was going to pass the “wholesome” purity tests that progressives love to fuck themselves with.
No autistic or adhd Lemmy/piefed users were hurt. Nobody thought, oh that’s kinda like me. Only retarded Republicans.
The test was ‘don’t use slurs’. I suspect you have larger issues if that is the hill you want to die on.
I’m autistic. I don’t like seeing that word come back. So I called out shit behavior. Have some godsdamned creativity if you’re going to insult people. Don’t emulate the people you’re insulting.
As usual with all things, it’s a spectrum when, where, and what I’ll use. And I think it’s plenty appropriate to direct it to hurt these fascist nazis.
But to be clear, no I will not pass your test to never use any slur in any context. I don’t think most people would, even on the progressive side of the spectrum. Nor do I think the bar will remain the same for certain people and they are just annoying people into fascism over every single fucking micro aggression.
So. Coming down from my high horse and taking a breath. A good faith question for you? I can understand the first paragraph and disagree with the second, but I would like to let that go for just a second.
Why are you attached to this word? They defend pedophiles, the steal from the poor, they commit atrocities, and they do really bizarre shit like wearing diapers because their leader is incontinent. I get the ‘hit them with what hurts’ angle and can’t say whether or not it’s effective. Is casually hurting others, because two different people in these comments have positively asserted that they were offended, worth not choosing a different word?
Because I believe it does hurt them and shame them more forcefully and is more effective conveying the degree of stupidity. I also think, tangentially (like wild), that Internet culture change vastly outpaces built-in generationally learned norms and that young people interact with older more than ever. And the amount of change desired, among a billion other more important factors but a factor none the less, is essentially ‘annoying people into fascism’. Especially in non formal settings, outside the workspace, legal language,Again, small factor in a while lot of things.
Some people are going to be full on charge. Some will think you are silly and over reacting. Sometimes, is an education thing and they are genuinely happy to learn. But if not, you insisting is essentially using political or social capital in various different ways. And I think it’s over used and failing because of said generational differences.
It’s not really my hill to die on. I just think they are a lost cause and I want to hurt and shame them at this point and think most people (maybe not on fediverse) enjoy hearing them described as such.
I appreciate the answer. I even agree to a large extent with your last point. I still think it an easy thing to not do and will call it out when I see it. I think the people that are letting annoyance with the general rule ‘don’t be a dick even if you can get away with it’ lead them to fascism were probably most of the way there anyway, but that’s whatever.
I’m not going to entreat further change from you, I’ve got too many paragraphs into this thread as is. I hope to see the immoral sacks of shit get everything they have coming too.
Oof. Way to embody your slur of choice.
