BlackmistRepublicans wear ear bandages in 'solidarity' with Trump
ToastypickleOh my god…
I know we’re not supposed to say it anymore but jesus christ these people are retarded.
Honestly I’d be perfectly fine if we just stopped treating it like the Forbidden R-Word
spicy pancakeI wouldn’t pejoratively call a mute person dumb, a mobility device user lame, or an intellectually disabled person retarded
but I will absolutely call cringe political fanatics lame, dumb retards
This is like saying “When I say ‘that’s gay’, I don’t mean gay as in homosexual, I mean gay as in stupid”.
I think that’s a legit way to use the word gay
originally it meant “happy.” words change. i don’t really care that some people in the 90s meant it in a homophobic way. it’s 2024 and being the slur police is fuckin gay

Oh you’re just stupid then. Gotcha.
can confirm I am both gay and [90s voice] gay
AbsentBirdI think it’s a bit different when the word has been totally abandoned for the previous use. I don’t know anyone who uses ‘lame’ or ‘dumb’ to refer to people with those disabilities. It’s practically an archaic meaning at this point. Gay is still most popular as a reference to sexuality.
How do you think they got to be archaic?
New words were found for the original meaning that were less pejorative, causing the slang to take over?
Tom Segura nailed it.
I mean thank you, I remember I got banned from a group like 10 years ago because I said the forbidden F-word, they all knew I was pan and trans, but apparently my N-Word Pass expired?
Can’t say the t-word either, I remember before it was a pejorative it was more like a cute nickname.
original meaning: “waaaah I got trapped into thinking a person of the sex I’m not attracted to is hot and now my genitalia is making me feel weird!”
new & improved meaning: this person dressed not as their assigned-birth-sex is so hot they could literally trap me Looney Tunes style by being distractingly attractive 😩
I thought they meant the slur that’s also slang for a car’s transmission.
oh yeah! that’s way cutesier-sounding than trap now I think about it
Not the T-Word I meant, I think Trap is still an appropiate term for femboys in a purely sexual context. It’s only offensive when used as a term for transgirls… at least that’s what I’ve heard
The word I was thinking of is six letter long
I may be happily ignorant, but way is the “f-word” and “t-word”?
Check slang terms for Transmission and British Cigarette
Made me think of this.
if straight women got bleeped when they said “dyke” I’d have a way easier time dating 🫠
“TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT’S THE WORD FOR ‘an embankment for holding back water’!?”
“A levee??”
“… touchè”
SLVRDRGNI’m confused - does the microphone have gaydar screening and auto-bleep capabilities? I would describe that as much more than a fake microphone.
moreso this is a hypothetical alternate universe where every time a straight woman says the word “dyke” it gets bleeped, a la that South Park clip
