Can i disable the 'potentially offensive message' nonsense?

Which again, brings us back to the post you quoted, you have stopped doing what you want to do, or you wouldn’t be here.

Not in the flesh anyway, you’d be at minimum forum silenced at maximum account banned.

But you’re here. So either you stopped or your consequences haven’t caught up with your actions yet (because you haven’t, yet at least, said anything specifically in the guidelines of what this post is talking about, you’ve only vaguely alluding to them and then acting sort of surprised that we know exactly what you’re referencing)

THANK YOU, yes that one exactly. First time coming across someone like this so I’m just…utterly surprised really. Karen as a slur. That’s a new one.

thats really sad.

It actually is a slur and it’s casual and frequent use is concerning. It’s not trolling to expect women to be treated with dignity and respect. Even if they’re old and white.

I enjoy it :smile: two each their own.

here is a little nugget of wisdom for you. if someone saying something you dont like is cause enough to kill yourself… your problem wasnt what was said to you.

now i am done letting you bait me into non censorship discussion in this thread about censorship and controlling speech. if you truly wish me to engage further on the topic, open a thread and link it. preferably somewhere i wont be banned for addressing the topic honestly.

Being a bigot and continuously denying people’s existence demostrably and in the very study you linked, is shown to directly lead to higher suicidal ideation.

I’m starting to think you didnt actually care about mental health at all.

starting to think? im pressing x to doubt.

This isn’t wisdom. This is the purest display of ignorance one can ever find.
You don’t get to handwave bigotry and then get mad you have consequences. Just because you don’t feel guilt doesn’t mean you didn’t do it.

Well, to be fair, I don’t think they were really intending to have this sort of conversation to begin with lmao.

Bigot isn’t a slur. It’s a noun that describes a person who is stubborn in their own beliefs and predjudices and intolerant of differing points of view or opinions.

ETA: most of the actual bigots here and irl are the ones who don’t think they are and are quick to use the term for anyone they disagree with.

Of course they weren’t. They wanted to hand wave bigotry and not get called on it. Its the very basis of their entire thread.

I don’t think they were intending on any meaningful conversation to be honest, that’s why they’ve tried to derail the thread multiple times. Wild that they STARTED this conversation and soon after, didn’t want it anymore.

Karen isn’t a slur. It’s a noun that describes a person who is stubborn in their own beliefs, entitlement, and predjudices, and equally as intolerant to different points of view or opinions.

Then I was confused. Forgive me.

My I guess one could call it hobby is to understand rhetorical patterns in common discursive content (debates, news articles, etc.). So I know a lil’bit about how and when folks try to say this, as well as the dog whistle that they are invoking at the same time.

I can, sadly, attest to this not being an unusual thing for people to say. It is a very particular subcategory of people who engage in this kind of rhetorical trolling. Commonly combined with racism, transphobia, or any myriad of different things. In short, because they often use slurs and bigotry to “justify” themselves, they are basically just trying to appropriate the language to dodge easy dismissals as biased, irrational, and hateful.

Similar to what the OP of the thread is doing if you want another example. It is all tied together, sadly.
