"Current year" terms that piss you off

[Linako 2.0]

I remember when it referred to Something Awful users.

My conspiracy theory is that SA goons pulled strings to make goon mean compulsive masturbator as a way to cover up the fact SA is behind everything going to shit on the internet and other past internet warcrimes.

Has probably been said but, Neurodivergent and Neurotypical, I fucking hate these two terms and how they are used, especially neurotypical as it's a label for well adjusted normal sane individuals. The two terms are almost always used hand in hand with labeling ones self as "neurodivergent" and labels anyone against them or not as mentally handicapped as them as "neurotypical" It reminds me of spoonies and how they aren't focused on getting better or trying their best to be a functional member of society, just finding excuses like "i'm out of spoons" "thats neurotypical behaviour, I can't do that".

Spoiler: TMI

As someone who genuinely had a good chunk of my life ruined by mental illness, it's infuriating, and seeing so called professionals using these terms are ridiculos to me. I don't agree with the the status quo in psych, but these terms are just self diagnosis buzzwords, that mean literally nothing. Szasz was right

"Neurodivergent" is also used to minimise autism as a serious disability, which it usually is. The neurodiversity twats with nothing wrong with them want autism to be considered not only an innocuous difference but a superpower that makes them superior. It being considered a disability or disorder spoils their fantasy.

The language shift encouraging the notion of autism not being a disability is being used to justify denying care for all autistic people.

People don't even think it's a serious condition any more because the small minority of ultra-high functioning people (and the self-diagnosed) are so noisy and visible.

"Neurodiversity" has real-world consequences, as you've stated.

OTOH "neurospicy" is just nails on a chalkboard.

Calling neurological disorders “neurodiversity” is like calling cardiac disorders “cardiodiversity”. Imagine if we did that. People would be dropping dead because of untreated heart disorders.

You can do this for any condition.

Cancer = cytodiversity. All cells are valid!

Inflammatory bowel diseases = colorectaldiversity. Torrential bloody diarrhoea and your bowels enlarging and trying to kill you is not a disability, it's just societal intolerance of different kinds of pooping. And if you disagree, you're an ableist bigot.

When someone puts "Y'all" in their post I start reading it in a overly stereotypical southern or negro accent and can't take whatever you're saying seriously anymore.
I notice more people using "Y'all" these days, I read somewhere that this is being pushed by leftoids deliberately to avoid using gendered language.

 

[skykiii]

Not necessarily a term that "pisses me off," but I'm really starting to hate the word "Kino."

The way its used, its supposed to mean something of exceptional quality... but the thing is when you have a word to describe something like that, and you use it a lot, it stops sounding like its anything amazing and becomes just another overused word.

"I watched X movie yesterday. It was so kino!" Its the modern generation version of saying "that film was so radical!" (anyone from the eighties remember when people talked like that?)

I do this, now I know it has an effect on people lol. I will have to refrain when I want to be taken seriously now- I am literally from the south and thats how I talk. My family has the stereotypical accent where 'jeet yet?' is the standard greeting.

I did notice a lot of politicians started saying 'Folks' but you can tell when it's not something they would normally say without thinking because they will pronounce the L in a very...not southern way? It should sound like 'Fokes' but with an almost umlaut-esque ( ü <- whatever weird rolling air thing you do to these type of vowels) type twang on the O that kind of simulates the L.

I went a long time without knowing what it meant, and now that I know I just hate it more.

I don’t even want to go there.

Anyhow, one thing I’ve noticed about current years terms is that half of them are PC terms, and the other half are wigger/nigger terms.

And the outcome of all this "I'm not handicapped, I'm handiCAPABLE" language is that nothing has to be done. If you're bothered by the person having a hard time, what's it to you? Stop noticing things! Everything is fine!

It's a war on noticing, it's a war on the ability to discriminate. You can see why some people might benefit from a society that's reluctant to call out problems. Oh, there I go noticing again!

Someone once pointed out that 'folks' should really be pronounced the way idiots would say 'faux' and I've never forgotten...

Yes, y’all is an attempt to avoid saying “you guys.” Of course, y’all is controversial because blacks like to say it and anytime yt says it, it’s cultural appropriation.

Y’all is the only time I (deliberately) get autistic and call people out for saying it. If you’ve grown up and lived in Minnesota your whole life, you have no business saying y’all. I’ll say something like “Oh, I didn’t know you were from the south.” Other than southerners and niggers, it is almost exclusively a zoomer white girl thing.

There's this one guy who keeps popping up on my Xitter feed who likes to use these terms as insults. I don't know what his deal is, but every day my timeline is littered with hundreds of his replies reading "Child;" "Stalker;" "Prison." It's getting really annoying, so what should I do?

 

[DoomsdayElite]

Hater. Don't care for something/someone popular? You're just a "hater".

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Yapping. It's now yet another example of smug zoomerspeak.

You should probably stop cowtipping Fatrick. He has nothing better to do with his life than get into slapfights with people that mock his status as a fat faggot with bitch tits.

 

[Hinttitroniikka]

Full stop. Sounds like Redditor speak, and I hate all things Reddit.

It's Bongspeak for what Burgers call "period."

 

[someonenew]

"Sigma"
or any New Generation brain-rot talk

 

[Stoner Miko]

I hate it when people say frick instead of fuck, I hate it so much that I censor it if I am forced to use it. I understand trying to find a substitute for nigger, since the feds are watching us on all social media, but fuck too? Fuck no, fuck you.

Other dishonourable mentions would be "unalive" and "trans rights".
