    I don’t think that the otter minds being called thicc.

    Who was the apology for exactly?

    source
    • superduperpirate@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Apology was for people offended by an aquarium using teen slang to connect with today’s youth.

        Truly a tragedy.

        source
      • Anticorp@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Teen slang? Thicc has been around since around 2010. That means anyone who was a teen when it originated is pushing 30 now.

        If I understand it, it ain’t teen slang.

      Maybe they just realized that it was extremely cringy.

      source
      • Swallowtail@beehaw.org ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The rapid-fire memes and acknowledgment of them being memes made it cringe, IMO. If they’d just dialed it back and said something like this I think it would have been fine:

        “Here’s our beautiful thicc girl, Abby! She loves to eat fish and swim with her friends. Come see her at our aquarium any time!”

        That makes it fun

  • jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Objectively no reason for that apology.

    They need to apologize for apologizing.

    Whatever dipshits demanded they apologize need to apologize for making the internet a worse place.

    source
    • TheRedSpade@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      They definitely should’ve put more thought into it before typing “internetism”, but still no reason for an apology.

      source
      • pyre@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        i think saying internetism is a reason for apology

    Why would they apologize for that? Were people clutching their pearls?

      Some people thought the aquarium was appropriating AAVE

        How dare they express the joy that was in their hearts!

        source
      • sunshine@lemmy.ml ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I don’t think “thicc” is AAVE. That is pretty much an Internet-ism as the original post says. “OH LAWD” though, yeah, is cringe.

    I’ve begun assuming any culture war rage bait bullshit is just Russian troll farms or their copycats. They poisoned the well on purpose, so I’ve decided to let them drink it instead. It isn’t always going to be accurate, but it’s great for my mental health.

  • EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    should’ve doubled down on it.

    make the fat people angry, they can’t catch up to you, say whatever you want to them.

    source
    • ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Probably upset someone with influence.

      I remember this art studio I went to posted pictures of a nude statue. And Facebook Karen’s lost their shit because their precious Timmy can’t see a stone tit.

      They took it down and apologized, because Facebook Karen’s make up a bunch of their profits.

      source
    • Dearth@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It wast the fat people that got offended. It’s the black people angry that the white kid running the twitter account used AAVE

      • EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Lots of people of all colors and creeds down south say “aww lawd!” and “daaaaamn!” too.

        Still should’ve doubled down on it

    I thought “thicc” is almost a compliment nowadays.

    It does not equal “obese”, and is more like having thick hips and/or generally being a bit more puffy and cuddly. Which is nice, and Internet appreciates it!

    source
    • AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Not just thicc, even straight up saying “you have a fat ass” has approached compliment territory.

    In their defence, Abby is kind of thicc.

    source
  • MehBlah@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I laughed and accept that most humor offends someone. I’m sure the offended would get a laugh out of something that I wouldn’t like so I don’t care if they are offended now.

    source
  • Etterra@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    But is the otter, in fact, a chonk?

    source
  • Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    But Abby is cute and also is thicc.

    It’s 2024. Demand more from your memes.

    It’s other awareness week, so I guess it’s working.

    source
  • iAvicenna@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    somehow find it hard to believe they were really offended. it is just another form of satisfying the “being right on the internet” addiction.

    what they don’t realize is there is always someone “holier than thou”. you can easily take for instance “comparing Black women to animals” and give it a completely pointless animal rights twist (its not the animal rights that is pointless the twist, saying in case someone tries to cancel me) and ask this person to apologise. it is an endless game.

    That’s pretty cringe to be honest.

      Cringe is getting offended by an aquarium having fun with their PR.
