    You could have just said coward and then you wouldnt need to justify derogatory gender-oriented language

      I’m almost positive the use of the word to call someone a coward has nothing to do with a vagina.

        Precisely. Someone understands cultural context of words.

        If you call a cop a “coward”, it means nothing. Because coward is a culturally dead word in an archaic sense. But if you call them a “pussy” then the meaning and cultural power behind the word changes. Medieval knights can be cowards. But cops are pussies.

        Also I’m less likely to take political correctness lessons from a dude whose handle is TIMMAY…the retarded kid from South Park. Also a culturally dense word.

          He isn’t “retarded”, he is physically disabled. He regularly represents the voice of reason on the show. If your use of “pussy” is not charged, why did you have to defend it in the same sentence?

            To be fair the type of person that would use the word retard as a slur is the same type of person that would call Timmy a retard.

            Pussy comes from the word pusillanimous, which means coward, you’re the one making the connections here

              They literally said that they prefer not to use the word due to the perceived denegration of women, so I dont cosider your point valid.

            Uhh, do you think the show’s creators meant to show him as “physically disabled” or retarded? What was the cultural intent on that? Again, don’t play the culture war games with people who have zero cultural understanding. PC Principle is also a pussy. There ya go. Have fun in microagression and cancel culture land or whatever Marxists are calling it these days while feeling good for stomping on free speech while claiming to be about “free speech”

              It’s good that you can read into South Park and understand it’s intentions, but being an asshole about it discourages people from engaging with your worldview and only furthers the divide you sought to repair.

                IDK. Consider PC Principal for a second. He’s a Marxist bro who idealizes every left-wing stereotype, who runs an educational instutition forcing politically correct language on children. You tell me what the intentions are, since you are so “woke”. Political Correctness is cultural denialism and self-imposed censorship, instead of productive dialog concerning social issues. Since you like South Park, here…there are two people in this picture and they are exactly the same.

                  You misunderstood me. I stopped caring about what you are saying because you are going out of your way to be belligerent.
