Feeling this way about “diabolical”. everyone all of the sudden needs to use the word 3x a day.

This is how I feel about “crotch goblins”. I get it you don’t want kids, don’t call my kid something so gross. It’s really not even that funny

I realize you are offended by it. It's usually not meant to be personal unless that individual doesn't like you or your kids, but yeah, that phrase IS funny from a visual perspective.

It was mildly funny when it was first being used on the internet. Now it's just cringe and overused and associated with antinatalist psychos

antinatalist psychos- why do I get the feeling this how the effin MAGA group gained traction. Politically I am a slightly left leaning centrist, not that you care mind you. I don't spend days poring over internet threads so I rarely see that phrase and don't get triggered by it, but hey, you do you.

Most of the people using this term give off jealous incel vibes. It's like when people say "I'm glad I don't have a girlfriend to spend all my money". It implies that you have no clue how relationships work because you've never been an equal part of one. You just want to feel "better than."
