I’m pretry much on board for replacing *ist/*phobic with just plain weird now. Enough of them seem to equate being called racist/sexist/transphobic or whatever with eliciting anger, which is what they thrive on.
There’s still a time and place for the specific (and accurate) labels, but many of these clowns are just sad and, well, weird attention-seekers.
I’m with this and have started at it myself when applicable. It also saves you time because it doesn’t trigger that 3 hour pre programmed rant even though you said the exact same thing.
The other day in a meme channel of all things, in reply to some dumb Taco Bell “in the ad, in reality” image dude goes off about how the right image is actually a Weiner that identies as a taco, so i replied with “pretty fucking weird to be that obsessed with what strangers have in their takeout bag”
