  It’s common English sentence structure, not a symbol of a group that killed six million Jews and many others.

  Do not compare this to the holocaust. That is just remarkably immature.

    I compared it to modern day american fascism actually. You brought up the holocaust in the same comment you’re saying not to compare it with 😭

    And I mean I think it is pretty comparable to the holocaust, considering what data centers are doing to the environment

      You said that people should stop using em dashes the way we stopped using swastikas. You do realize swastikas stopped being used because of Nazi Germany, not because of American fascism? Also, if you mention swastikas, you cannot in good faith claim that you aren’t carrying the baggage of Holocaust in with it. The Holocaust is the event most closely associated with the swastika.

      to bring up ≠ to compare. Also, aren’t emojis also a sign of AI writing? (ㆆ_ㆆ)

      Is generative AI a serious problem? Yes. Is the use of em dashes by human people comparable to the use of swastikas? Or is the use of em dashes as tainted or more tainted by AI than swastikas are by the horrors of fascism and Nazism? Absolutely not. The swastika is a uniquely shameful symbol, and the use of a common English punctuation mark is not comparable. The fact that you seem to think they are comparable indicates that you either have a very warped view of the importance of punctuation style, or you have a very low view of the severity of fascism and the grave symbolism of the swastika. The former is disturbing. The latter is damning.

        Holy fuck that’s a lot of writing. Sure man, or no I disagree. Whichever served my point
