Nearly every reddit and Twitter comment feed is full of lazy, limp-wrist morons, egging mentally ill people to commit violence for them.
Keep a lookout whenever you are reading comments anywhere for “someone should (…)” or something like that.

There it is again!
Someone insisted to me that “limp wrist” is a homophobic slur. It reads very much like you’re using it to refer to inactive keyboard warriors, but I am interested in your thoughts.

I say it to refer to weak impotent losers who complain on the internet all day, and seeing that people use it as a homophobic slur concerns me and I’ll stop saying it. Apologies.

I believe it started like that because it “looks weak” and/or “effete”, e.g. wrist Who knows if another meaning has taken over it since like the early 2000s.

It definitely had more of a homophobic connotation in the 90’s. I’m pretty sure at least one Kids in the Hall sketch with Scott Thompson references the idea, just because I recall him making a hand gesture with him holding his arms up but hands hanging limp from the wrist.
