I feel like most people are wildly inconsistent on this. Fat shaming? Small dick energy? How about mental illness? Baldness for some reason? Disabilities? Oh, we could probably go on about those. Some people seemingly decide a line is too simple and draw a complex sine function instead.
My rule is to try to be decent. Sometimes, I even succeed. But I don't think I'm very good at it, and neither are most of you. Bunch of hypocrites, we are.
I've always liked "Just don't punch down." But you're right, we're all hypocritical in some form or another.
But what if it's in the positive? Damn girl I like your fat ass. But I can see it being used negatively.
I like Big Dick Energy though. Can we keep that?
I think you answered your own question? It depends on meaning and context, not just words themselves. And while positive messages intersect the overarching topic, they're different enough that we can't just bundle them together and treat them in the same fashion.
I like Big Dick Energy though. Can we keep that?
Can't handle the magnitude of that question on my own, I'm afraid.
Actually must be pretty sheltered cause I just don't run into this shit anymore.
The cool kids have moved on to using ableism to mock public figures. Now Trump is a psychopath, Musk is a narcissist, and Peterson is schizo.
I know right, can't we just leave the high functioning unmedicated, untreated, psychopaths, narcissist, and schitzos alone. Its perfectly normal they hold reins of power.
You're so cool
Not as cool as being an apologist for christo-fascists
You, uh, didn't pay any attention to the point of the original post, did you?
This isn't a meme
A meme is a self replicating unit of cultural information. This is a meme
Internet memes and cultural memes are not the same thing. This isn't even a cultural meme - it's a screenshot of political opinion. Internet memes are pictures that are funny, ironic or relatable.
Yes they are the same thing.
If you want to insult someone, don't say things you find offensive. Say things they find offensive.
Like when we called Conservatives weird and they had a literal meltdown?
yeah and when that was clearly working the Harris campaign just dropped it in favor of stupid shit like bragging about republicans endorsing her.
I agree.
Friendly reminder: deadnaming Twitter is not transphobic.
what??? that's like deadnaming elons child!! oh wait, he does that.
I said that on here and was heavily downvoted. Granted, I was inebriated so a lot of anger came across (so I've since deleted it) so maybe it was that.
But pointing out hypocrisy is AOK
I don't see anyone, on the left, disparaging public figures for being gay. I see plenty of people disparaging gay public figures for being hypocrites.
Yeah, that was my point
Yes, I agree with you
If everyone you meet is an asshole ...
...You might just be a colorectal surgeon.
Ya just imagine the same thing but with racism
