Pennywise 36,079 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Some of you probably would be like "Well, swastika was an occult symbol before H*tler ever used it, and it has a different meaning so it's okay to use it!!!". Like... why are you so obsessed with attacking people who are expressing concerns over a word that IS hurtful to a group of people? You don't get to decide if people are hurt or not. I swear y'all sound like Trump fans. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post, the victim mentality, the way you want to call me out. You have an odd sense of humor. This thread has plenty of people dismissing concerns of disabled people and infantilizing them to overdramatic children. Any response against that point is "victim mentality" "whiners" "trivial issues". What could have been a discussion over the connotations words can have and whether the meaning can be distanced far enough to no longer have those connotations is simplified to a scoff because it's "just a word". Marginalized groups do not exist to educate you. Words have meanings they don't just exist for the sake of it and they have histories whether you choose to ignore that or not. Words can change but is it worth continuing on that word when it carries a history harmful to many and is still being used to bully others? There are plenty of obsolete words. Dismissing those who have the most experience with the term is pretty shitty anyways but yeah good luck with that internalized ableism when your body betrays you.

PartySick 159,866 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Ugh y'all are insufferable sometimes. All this bickering and for what? Some people in one of the larger English music markets pointed out that this word has a negative and derogatory connotation to them. Lizzo was kind enough to listen, apologize, and change a single word for them. Making this song just a bit more inclusive and palatable and doing something small to make the world a bit less sh*tty to live in. End of discussion. This is giving me MAGAs complaining about Aunt Jemima pancakes being changed to "Pearl Milling" energy. If you're complaining about something being "too woke" you might want to be careful how far you fall into that hole. 🌸Flourishing and vibrant🌼 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
