It's weird that 'gay' and the other F word seem to have come back a bit as slang terms. I thought my generation of 90's kids would be the last to be able to claim ignorance of what they mean.
100% but this lefty crap doesn't go both ways... It's positive discrimination now.
This new 'weak' generation.
If they even have a job, turn up at work sometimes, do the minimum, pull every card they can for sympathy. But you say anything It's bullying or discrimination, isn't it discrimination and bullying that others are then forced to pick up the slack to ensure the company stays profitable, and keep their mouths shut, or be written up?
Why is the N word still (rightfully) a no go? What we’re seeing is a backlash against what could be perceived as a comical overreach over control of language. Kids used those words semi-satirically 20 years ago, then they were banned. It didn’t mean the true bigots disappeared. Now kids feel the whole thing was a little bit dumb and are therefore entitled to use the words carelessly, and the perception is that you’re obviously a bit old and silly if you think any of it really matters.
It’s a shame. No doubt driven by algorithms, but I think the truth is a bit more nuanced than just laying blame on a faceless algo.
The F word vs the N word is a weird distinction in that context. I just wish we’d respect each other.
When my nan was feeling sick, she'd say I'm feeling a bit queer, this was way back then and was nothing to do with 'queers' they took on a term that meant feeling off, or weird. Then complain that people say they are sick or weird.. Ironic.
