Jeez we can't say **** now lol. It barely means 'skinny' anymore, it's a term like 'queen', which doesn't mean literally someone is a queen either...

but its the connotation of the word. duh, its not literal. but its the same as saying that if you're "skinny" or "a queen," then you're something good/worth admiration. it's the same thing as when people in the 2000s said "that's gay" to things they thought were bad.

This is just gay slang..... I mean when we scream "slaaaay", we're not actually wanting anyone to be slain :triggered:

I think there are much worse and not so tongue-in-cheek things to get offended by on social media.

damn ma is it that serious 

I know y’all don’t take it that seriously, but what she’s getting at is that it’s irrelevant to use a word that doesn’t mean what you’re trying to say.  Is it okay to say “that’s so gay” when referring to something that’s not gay but stupid? It is associating the word gay with negativity and associating the word skinny with positivity and making people who aren’t “skinny” feel ashamed.  The same way someone who is gay would feel ashamed if being compared to something stupid. It know y’all take it lightly, but it can get as deep as you let it.  We’re far from the Shallow now.

A person has a right to ask not to be called a certain body term like "skinny" or "fat" if it hurts their feelings. It didn't seem to me that she was asking everyone to never use those phrases again. She just wants to not be called that.  Is that really so damn terrible? :rip:
