For the sake of god damned unity.
Woke: Banning racial slurs that are tied to decades or sometimes centuries or systemic oppression
Broke: Banning words that get trendy for about six months because the were originally trendy within a minority community
Bespoke: Banning all English-speaking countries.
actually lets go ahead and do that last one.
Lmao dude maybe go out and meet some black people IRL and then you will see they have no problem with you using these words.
That’s the Bill Maher excuse for not being woke. Gets offended for John Leguizamo using Latinx because “only 3% of Latinos use it” The march is forward, not to the “good ol’ days.”
Latinx is fucking stupid. It makes no sense in either English or Spanish.
That’s because you’re not pronouncing it right. It’s latinx.
Latin equis? That sounds like something a stupid white anglo came up with without even thinking about how it would sound in Spanish.
Latinos is already gender neutral. But if you think that’s too male oriented at least use something that sounds good, like latines.
excuse for not being woke
Wow look who just appropriated AAVE. Hypocrite much?
See how fucking ridiculous this gets to be?
Am I supposed to stop listening to black music? Stop going to hip hop dance class? Am I still allowed to watch Chris Rock?
Do i have to quit my jazz band because we are an all white/latino group appropriating black music…?
There is a line to be drawn with cultural appropriation but saying “lit” is not it
And i am someone who most of my hobbies revolve around some form of black culture and not one black person has ever complained about my “wokeness” or whatever the fuck
Sorry I hate to bust out the “wokescolds” term but you guys are literally being a bunch of fucking woke scolds
See how fucking ridiculous this gets to be?
Can’t have a struggle session without someone pivoting to ridicule.

If you have a friend it should be okay.

If you’re appropriating (your words, not mine) that’s an iffy yellow card.

Just because people don’t say something doesn’t mean they don’t harbor the thoughts. How do you think they’d feel seeing you get all worked up about such a benign topic?
seeing you get all worked up about such a benign topic
This ain’t it
AAVE isn’t just a bunch of expressions, this is such a superficial take that you might as well not say it.
this is your brain on liberalism
Did you just come from /stupidpol?
so are you old or do you just not have black friends?
If I told you I “grew up with the Huxtables”, how would you interpret that?
ah, old then okay
I legit have no clue what this means lol
Bro I will literally fight you for the right to say lit, I’m never gonna stop saying dumb shit and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.
How about another joke Murray. What do you get when you take a man’s right to say “lit”? What you fucking deserve! :ak47:
Bro I will literally fight you for the right to say ******, I’m never gonna stop saying dumb shit and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.
Are you comparing lit to the n-word? Cuz you better fuckin not be dawg
All things come to pass, brother.
Ouch, not a good look my guy :ira:
dude, you missed some, you’re not being woke enough
btw, it’s a pretty america-centric thing to make such a minefield out of the most universal language on earth. how do you expect non-native speakers to keep up with this shit?

Critical race theory as part of their naturalization process.
bitch no one wants to live in your hellhole of a country. but if chinese and french people want to talk to each other they probably do it in english
I can… appreciate the sentiment in the same way aging boomers fetishize their kids slang to stay young, but I’ve been concerned that claims of cultural appropriation outside of power- or profit-oriented situations approach cultural segregation and isolationism.
“Hello, yes, I’d like a basic pizza with extra cheese for my swim squad. What’s that? I’m cancelled?”
just dont use any words. Under communism we will revert to grunting
Real anprim hours.
gonna give this one only a moderate “pls go outside”
My apologies, from now on I’ll just go around yelling stuff like “Deus vult!” and “The South will rise again!” at people because cultures must remain seperate and pure and by cultures I ofc mean races.
I would like one [racial slur] large milkshake, chocolate please. Oh no, just [racial slur] chocolate. Dutch is too rich.
