It's your business if you're reading a lot about transfolk.

You seem hostile over the term...maybe overly so.

Well I'm playing Hogwarts Legacy so that means I'm transphobic. But damn I got 'prof' in the username so that means I'm overly 'woke.'

I'm always hostile to twitter mentality.

Nah, you didn't err in your quoting and I didn't err in my initial response. I erred in the followup tho.

You erred in assuming that the constraints of your critical thinking must define what I meant. Instead of having a conversation about it (which would have begun with questions about what I meant), you decided to go nuclear and act like I was the idiot. (The funny thing is that you completely failed at reading comprehension, and responded with an "illiterate" insult. lol) I pointed that out. I even gave an illustrative conversation that proved my points and original meaning. Having been shown and literally told that you were enforcing assumptions, you finally understood your misstep and ignored the correction because there really wasn't a way to continue that conversation and protect your ego.

Better to let it die at that point. And you were correct.

But then, having been shown and told your misstep about assumptions in lieu of conversation, what did you do? You decided to weaponize that very concept as an accusation against someone else.

Too funny. Pot, kettle, steaming.

You began your post with 'lol.' That's not the response of someone who is engaging anyone or willing to engage in anything serious. You may want to now or you may just be backpedaling.

Is that the official name? Finally got a professional diagnosis! Until now I've been misconstruing it as saying what I want.

So, your attempt to prove that you weren't operating on assumptions is to define the original assumption...

 

[butchna]

You be you.

Always do.

Well, it's definitely time to exit stage left when the meme photos come out. Always a sign of a great debate. See you two later.

That's not fair. You call someone illiterate and then refuse to let them use pictures.

You just can't please some people.

Ok I admit that's funny as hell. Well done.

I've always thought the term "thug" was reference to more criminal, strong armed bully type. Never thought of it as racist. I always thought all races could be thugs. Asian thugs, white thugs, black thugs, Hispanic thugs. Thug describes more of a behavior than anything else.

 

[mrorange211]

Yeah but it doesn’t so….

Are you some kind of registrar of racist words?

 

[mrorange211]

anyone with any actual black friends knows that thugs is not an ok term for a group of black people

 

[Rishvol]

I'd hope thug is not an ok term for any group of people

 

[mrorange211]

Don’t whataboutism It means something for a certain group of people

Bone thugs
Harmony thugs...



Wait.

Are there not white thugs, Asian thugs, or Hispanic thugs? Sound kind of racist to me.

Unless they're actual thugs. Like a group of thugs.

White thugs, there's no such thing...
