The easy, pointless, thought-terminating cliche against empathy. Well done.
“It’s just ivory tower liberalism wahhh nobody actually cares!”
You pretend to be offended so you can signal to others that you are virtuous.
See, this is the part where I get to stop being nice. This is childish, rude, and stupid. You are falling back to wildly presumptive insults because you cannot defend your behavior. It costs you absolutely fucking nothing to be considerate.
I get it. Generally people don’t want to offend someone without due cause. And so we traipse around each other’s idiosyncrasies. For the most part that is fine.
The problem comes from making a policy of it. People will say what they will say. Does that cause reputational harm if they say certain words? Sure. No one can stop you from changing how you feel about someone based upon their actions. But you can’t stop them from saying it.
Let’s go straight to the source. Let’s talk about the N word. If you see someone in public use that word perjoratively - then you will probably consider them to be a bad person. You may even tell other people “That person said the N word and they are bad because of it.” And that would be perfectly fine.
But what you can’t do is tell them not to say it. Because it is their freedom to be a piece of shit and to say awful things and to demean and hurt others with their words. So if Joe Rogan wants to say stupid shit, let him. We all know he’s an idiot.
Oh yeah… idiot used to have a clinical meaning too, you know. But I guess according to you I can’t say that either.
… lol. That’s not how freedom works. I can tell them whatever I want. That’s how freedom works. But go on with your freedom. Go use the N word like that on the streets of a major city, we’ll see how you hold up with that half-assed ideal when people rightfully tell you to stop.
See, this is the part where I get to stop being nice.
LMAO you people were never “nice”. You’ve always wagged your fingers at people and shouted them down whenever they use words you don’t like.
Hell, nowadays It seems like every week you folks choose a new word to be offended over. Just the other day I learned you folks are trying to turn the word “lame” in to a slur because apparently it’s “ableist” to say something is lame.
At this point, I am 100% convinced that if you folks had your way, the world would be like the future from Demolition Man where computers are listening to everything people say, and you get fined whenever you say a word someone doesn’t like, which is a retarded future that I don’t want to live in.
BZZZZT! EaNasir, you have been fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.
If you consider yourself to be an “imaginary person”, that’s a pretty strong sign of having mental problems… But then again, so is having a meltdown over someone using a word like “retard”.
If everyone had to be considerate of every persons views, nobody would write anything. Nobody would be allowed to have opinions.
The world isn’t all sunshine and flowers, buttercup. I’ll continue to be imperfect, and use the words to describe what I want. If you want to get your blood pressure up, and get huffy about it, that’s your prerogative.
Thanks, more bad faith “wahh we can’t be bothered to consider people’s feelings!”
Who has the time, I know. There’s just not enough time in the world for you to ever change the way you think or act. Better just keep on never growing or improving. Never change a single thing about the way you interact with others.
I get it. It’s just too hard for you to be considerate of others. Too much time, too much effort.
Thanks, more bad faith “wahh we can’t be bothered to consider people’s feelings!”
LOL Not a damn one of you people who lose your minds over the word ‘retard’ ever “consider people’s feelings” when using words like ‘toxic’ to describe every man on the planet, so you can just stuff that one.
Nope! Because “retard” is not a slur. This matter has been settled.
Again: You far-lefties lost the election, and the culture war along with it. Your “morality police” badge has been revoked. Nobody’s going to listen to easily-offended left-wingers like yourself any more. We’re just going to laugh at you and tell you to stop being retarded.
Don’t like it? Well then, you lefties should probably figure out how to win elections again… And maybe that starts with not losing your mind whenever someone says a word you don’t like.
“Wahh I still can’t come up with any good faith argument so I’m gonna segue into some other sad little thing I get upset about and call you a hypocrite with absolutely no evidence!”
I know, I know, we need to be considerate of men’s feelings. We need to be so considerate towards men that we should bring it up when it has nothing to do with the conversation.
But we don’t need to be considerate of the feelings of humanity’s most vulnerable populations. Who has the time? Who has the virtue?
“Wahh I still can’t come up with any good faith argument so I’m gonna segue into some other sad little thing I get upset about and call you a hypocrite with absolutely no evidence!”
Gee, that’s funny. I could say the same exact thing about you for getting so upset over a sad little thing like someone using the word “retard”, y’know.
The tables turned…? I never once changed the conversation, so this childish “I’m rubber and you’re glue” routine doesn’t even make sense here. Go off I guess.

“Waaah you people”
What do you mean, you people?
Oh, you want to just… argue with the imaginary people in your head through me? That’s cool.
I mean people like you, sweetheart. That should be pretty easy to figure out… Unless you’re like, retarded or something.
Keep arguing with your imaginary friends then. Enjoy.

He means the retards

Who are you quoting?
I could ask you the same question about the word “retard”.
You’ve used the slur countless times in this thread.
But no one in this thread has every said every man on the planet is toxic. Where did that strawman come from? Who are you quoting?
Nope! Because “retard” is not a slur. This matter has been settled.

It is a slur. That is a fact, you cannot just say “nuh-uh” to facts.

Oh, how the turn tables. 😉
The tables turned…? I never once changed the conversation, so this childish “I’m rubber and you’re glue” routine doesn’t even make sense here. Go off I guess.
You know, you could just admit that you’ve lost the debate on this one instead of acting all childish and retarded about it. 😂
