    Ironman doesn’t seem very gay in this picture. It would be a queer boner to take dick from him.

    (Iron man doesn’t seem very happy in this picture. It would be an odd mistake to take advice from him)

    I don’t believe you. I think Marvel was around in a time where it was normal for two bros to give each other the D to cheer one another up.

    Boomers and their casual insults across all media. Is Captain America not manly enough to accept therapy without insulting his friend?

    If only people could accept that English being a living language isn’t just about the past, but words are changing now, and that’s OK.

    This is for the people who gouge their own eyes out when they hear people say “unalived”; the people who (suspiciously) insist on the clinical definition of pedophile; and “it’s called a magazine actually” gun-brains.

      I always find it amusing when people are arguing their perscriptivisim is the actual descriptivism. Part of how the language changes is precisely based on objections to word usage and lack of understanding. Those very objections are what give words character. They became part of the descriptive usage of the word. People can agree that yes it is a word in the linguistic sense while also arguing that it’s a dumb word or a dumb usage. Reinforcing normative usage only is perscriptivisism in a silly outfit.

        No, no — see, skibidi is actually a valuable addition to the English language.

        What does it mean, you ask?

        That’s right, it sure does. Have meaning, that is.
