"Current year" terms that piss you off

[Troonologist PhD]

It may have been mentioned already, but "cultural appropriation". The bullshit idea that only certain kinds of people can use certain kinds of ideas, that intangible ideas can be "stolen" - or that using them somehow prevents others from using them differently - and that one is automatically responsible for any "oppression" others of their kind do.*

As much as the Woke Special Olympics tout themselves as anti-capitalists they love the idea of copyrighting entire cultures.

I hate fucking inclusive language, its a cancer thats even spreading to other languages that already have gendered terms and shit

Its a power play, is a way for wokes to say "we're so fucking powerful we can even legally change language to whatever we fucking want and you have to comply"

Are Black guys into White women or is it the other way around?

I say the number of black guys who want white woman is far higher than white women who want black men, but all women in general tend to prefer men of their own race

The only exception are asian women who seem to want to fuck any men but their own, jewish women a close second tho they tend to fuck goys and only then marry a cuck mensch (or at least that was the case at my university)

I would've been considered a liberal 20 years ago.

I think White women are into Black guys. Black men are the White woman's new purse puppy. It really is the worst racism there is.

I was considered a progressive 10 years ago, nuff said

And the "purse puppy" is true, I seen white women hanging around with a black guy just to post on insta and make her daddy angry, then they dump the poor guy like old leftovers

Thats some cold shit

"divisive"

The irony is lost on them

I despise the acronym LGBTQQIP2SAA.

I had to google that shit, cant believe its real

Only a few years ago we used to say lgbtwtfbbq as a joke, this shit is even worse and fucking serious, what the hell is happening in that "community"?

My boomer co-workers discussing politics. For the sake of keeping my job/preventing a hostile work environment, I keep my mouth shut about their easily-refutable NPC opinions. It's agonizing to listen to.

Give me an example of boomer NPC dialog, the only boomers I hang around with sometimes are my parents, everybody else is genX and up genX are also very NPC btw, which explains zoomies

copyrighting entire cultures

And permanent copyright at that. Copyrights of corporations on commercial works expire around a century later.

wow so socialist

 

[Meat Target]

Give me an example of boomer NPC dialog

"Drumpf falsely claimed dead people voted! Drumpf encouraged them to riot!"

"Y'know, I'm a Republican, but I miss John McCain and George Dubya and Reagan!"

I am confident this has already been stated, but “right side of history.” The phrases comes off as profoundly ignorant and self-centered, as though history chooses winners and losers.

I find it’s just Manifest Destiny rebranded.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

History is like natural history: a branching tree, not a linear ladder.

(by which I meant there's no one "path of progress" - not "alternate history" here)

Bipoc because for some reason my mind automatically translates it into "boy pussy."

BIPOC is worse than that.

It ranks racial groups and we're just supposed to be fine with that.

Black
Indigenous
People of Color.

Also, "exotification". The "woke" can think it's "racist" for someone of an "oppressor" kind to enjoy the "exotic" from other places as such, despite that being true enjoyment of diversity. Seems their motto really is "no fun allowed".

*(if their kind is deemed "oppressor" by the "woke" Oppression Olympics®)

My opinion is that there's a difference between appreciating a culture (ie wearing a kimono or eating sushi) and appropriating that culture (ie speaking in pidgin Japanese to seem kawaii).

Unfortunately the Woke don't seem to know the difference.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

appropriating that culture

Even if someone is using intangible ideas in a way that's really annoying, I still don't call that itself "appropriating" culture, since nothing is really stolen. Also I feel using "woke" buzzwords could be like me metaphorically "letting the foot in the door", with wokethink.

I believe "culture has no borders", as someone in China said after that "my culture is not your prom dress" incident.

The media's obsession with QAnon. They act like it's a mainstream conservative viewpoint, when you never hear right-wing thought leaders endorsing it. Not on Fox, Breitbart, Townhall, National Review, not anywhere.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

QAnon

I still don't know who QAnon is, or what they said. Also I may still think of Q from Star Trek when I hear of them.

I like being out of the loop on this QAnon thing. I get the idea that's a good thing.

True, but experience has taught me that you should speak to a man in his own language if you want to make a point to him and when I try and make a point to the Woke, I have to speak in their own language.

I don't even blame them tbh, QAnon is much cooler than normiecon takes on the deficit or campus culture wars.

And it's a lot easier to make Q tards look stupid than it is to do the same with moderate Republicans.

I thought it mean bisexual people of color. That's worse than my thought.

The whole light skinned, dark skinned feud.

Guys, I found him.

My newest pet peeve is “plant based”.

Can you imagine being handed some kind of unidentified meat patty and only being told that it’s “animal based” with absolutely no further context? What animal? What part?

For decades, people have made jokes about what goes into hot dogs or KFC having to change their name because what they serve is so genetically modified that it cannot legally be called "chicken", but we now have even more intentionally ambiguous food being cheerfully advertised as if that very ambiguity makes it healthy and wholesome.

I just got back from the grocery store where I saw "cheese alternative cheddar flavor blocks" in the produce section, and frankly I don't want to hear anybody make fun of good ol' spray cheese in a can ever again unless they make fun of vegans first.

Also annoying is how literal soy is always crammed into so much, like "high fructose corn syrup". Also annoying is how so many things have "bio-engineered" ingredients. Yet another reminder of Current Year: real food is marketed as "organic" and is at (even more) bullshit prices, and the rest are "frankenfoods" processed in factories with the power of Science®.

God DAMN, that was annoying.
