  Right? I’m tired of the euphemism treadmill telling me what I can and can’t say. Especially if we are coming up with childish phrases like “unalived”

  I used to call myself a <transgender slur> until woke cispeople got on my case about it.

  Ahh… I guess it’s better than the old internet where the N-Word was your fast pass to being seen as funny and cool?

    This has always felt very doublespeak-y to me. Sort of like a control mechanism.

    I don’t know anyone “unhoused” who has ever been offended at the word “homeless”. It just seems silly to me.

    I run into that shit with cripple.

    Fuck them, I’m the one on the fucking cane, I call myself what the fuck I want, and I will gladly fight about it.

    But, yeah, the edge lords will fuck things up

  Or go the TikTok route and say “unsmarted” like a goddamn tool.
