"Current year" terms that piss you off

people that feel the need to specify honesty when giving an opinion; "imho. in my honest opinion" piss me off.
If you're giving an opinion why the fuck wouldn't you give the one you actually hold? It sounds so stupid and I immediately write off the people that say it or type it as retards because it calls into question about their honesty at any other times. They know they lie so much they have to specify to others and even to themselves that THIS time they are actually being honest.


what does this even mean?
I know a roach is like the little butts of joints found in ashtrays but I've never heard of roaching out
This is why I say imdo or "In my dishonest opinion" to show people that I have no actual opinions, values, and usually don't know what I'm talking about. Or I'm just being intentionally misleading.
 
Femboy

Back in my day we called feminine guys; queers, poofs or faggots.
The more I hear "femboy" the more I hate it, as somebody who grew up when emo was in fashion and supports freedom of expression I generally have no qualms with someone adopting the opposite sex's stereotypes as long as they don't get delusional about it, think they're literally the opposite sex and have the right to control how other people refer to them,  but... "femboy" has taken on a connotation of more than just a lanky young fellow who likes to wear girly clothes and makeup sometimes just because he can. It's a guy who does it specifically for sexual reasons... be it because it gets him off or because he wants to make porn, think F1nn5ter or others like him who dress and act like cringey anime girls, and it's part of the current trend of gender bullshit and unhealthy porn addiction so any mention of "femboys" gives me the heebie jeebies.

Once upon a time we called them traps, but then some trannies thought that was “twansphobia,” so now we have the new term which is somehow gayer.
 
What does that mean anyway? Not having "wrongthink" about media and seeing "social justice" issues in such?
I remember someone asking this on 4chan, getting 20+ replies, pretty much all of them had a different explanation. "Media literacy" causes so much headache because there's a belligerence in nobody agreeing what the hell it means, it has no real definition.
But the most common definition seems to be "understanding what the creators intended."
 
It means using fictional events to analyze and interpret nonfictional events - "Putler is Voldemort" or "We need the Avengers to save Ukraine".
So that's why SJWs were known to use Harry Potter analogies for the latest Current Thing of Current Year (at least before Rowling was "cancelled" as "transphobic" that is)?

Closest explanation I can get is that it means recognizing the intended message and/or identifying tropes in the story, especially understanding when something is satire or not. However, it usually ends up being used by social justice faggots complaining that “chuds” end up liking things that are supposed to mock them because the satirical character was honestly a lot cooler than the alternative.
 
I feel like every semi recent comment saying some variation of "enjoying" is a shill now. "well i dunno bout u guise but im very much thouroughly enjoying teh thing u say is meh have i told u how enjoyable it is yea im very greatly enjoyingly enjoying da enjoyable thing" ad nauseam.
 
"Crashing Out", the first time I heard this phrase I thought "He's not falling asleep, he's having a meltdown". I understood what everyone was saying afterwards but in that moment I was confused.

"Cringe", its one of the most over used words I have heard and its obnoxious. Cringe is a sanitised replacement for the word gay and its gay to say cringe.

"Gaslighting", this word I hear just as much as cringe and the people that say this word a lot use it as a counter augment when they don't have a defense for their opinion. I know why straw man arguments are used I just see way too many people default to shouting their being gaslit instead of accepting defeat and moving on.
 
I get so sick of seeing the whitest, nerdiest people refer to each other as ‘nigga’. It’s not that I have a problem with racism or that I think it’s cultural appropriation. It just feels so out of place. If I call another white person “the N-word”, you better believe I’m using the hard R and it’s because they double parked or threw trash on the ground or something like that.
 
"mental health day" - people taking off work because MUH DEPRESSION
i dont mind if you just say youre lazy, i mean at leasy youre honest about it
I remember once having to fire someone over multiple "mental health days"
Protip: If you call into work every time your scheduled after your scheduled weekend for "mental health" when your coworkers all say they saw you at the bars the night before or you reek like booze and or weed when you do show up, and your manager tells you "take all the time you need" and hangs up without another word, that's pretty much universal code for "you don't have a job here anymore."
 
Calling everything “media.”
“My favorite horror media is…” just say book or movie or something. Christ.
It has a slight air of pretension to it, it makes my skin crawl. Those people need a smack.

Thread tax: somewhat related-"content". You can't simply say he or she makes good videos, no, they make "good content".
