        Are you crazy or what

        It’s obviously only right when your device in question is in fact a sock

          The guy is paraphrasing a YouTuber named ShoeOnHead and I’m pointing it out. Don’t go on a whole fucking tangent about something that doesn’t make sense to you because maybe that’s because you’re not in on it.

            Don’t make obscure references and expect people to get them. Saying “Shoe?” makes you look like a weirdo. Could’ve said ShoeOnHead. And that “looks weird” is comming from someone who actually knows who you are talking about and knows the quote.

              I don’t expect you to get my reference. I expect the guy I replied to who made the reference to think it’s nice that I recognized his reference. You don’t need to participate in the exchange at all! An inside joke owes outsiders nothing.

                How is it an inside joke? Dude made a statement. You thought they were “paraphrasing a content creator” and asked “shoe?” as if everyone on this world would somehow find you saying “this content creator?” funny. It’s not a joke. It’s a bad reference to something she said about an entirely different thing. It isn’t a joke when someone tells a joke and someone asks “Ricky Gervais?”.

              Yes. Obviously. You even downvoted me over your own misunderstanding.

                A lot of people downvoted you because you are acting like a dick. Assuming that people are the Holy Spirit and all knowing. Then getting angry when being told to chill.

                  They don’t gotta be all knowing. They just gotta not come after me for knowing someone they don’t.

            You seriously need to look up the definition of the word tangent my friend because you’re using it wrong.

            It’s not a tangent if it’s one sentence.

    Totally uncomfortable with the existence of their own dick, plus dating a girl. Quick maths, anon is a lesbian.

      Drag doesn’t believe in lesbians. Drag thinks they’re just gay women. There’s no reason gay women are special in a way that gay men and gay enbies aren’t. The only reason we have the word lesbian, is because sexist old men didn’t think women could really be gay. We should just get rid of the word and say gay woman instead.

        Or how ‘bout this radical idea - we should let lesbians decide what word to call themselves? It’s awfully odd to decide to redefine a group of people without getting that group’s input on the matter.

        Bad take.

        You’re erasing the existence of Sappho, who was so gay for girls that the island she came from—the place heretofore unknown for anything—is now known for just how goddamn queer she was, and everyone who experiences sapphic love (hey, another word that got coined off of one poet’s fantastically omnipresent woman lust).

        Lesbians. Sapphic lesbians. From Lesbos. That Sappho started. Why?

        Girls pretty.

          And yet nobody calls gay men thessalians, despite Achilles being from Thessaly. It’s because we don’t need to, we already have the word gay. The only reason we don’t just use the word gay for women, is that homophobes thought women couldn’t be gay. They needed a euphemism. We don’t need a euphemism.

            Let’s make things clear: you don’t need a euphemism.

            I want more euphemisms. I want this language to have some goddamn options and I want the number of words in this language to never fucking decrease for any reason.

              Drag thinks that means you want words like aryan and the N word with the hard R to stick around, and drag doesn’t like that opinion.

                Every single one of those words should exist. Even the slurs. That way, we know who’s trouble.

                Motherfucker, I do not believe I made myself clear, so allow me to retort:

                Languages should not ever shrink at all. Ever. Shrinking languages is some nazi-ass, 1984-ass fascist shit.
