downvotes for a Cornpop story reference they probably didn't realize, oh well, typical Lemmy
For all your whining about nuance, you sure love to take the most reductionist (straw-manned) interpretation of things and come out of the gate swinging with insults. Excuse me while I use this to justify dismissing your pedantry.
It's all anecdotal, folks.
I won't vote for Trump, I just don't like having to eat a shit pie and being told it's french silk caramel, and if I say otherwise I'm Republican, Uneducated, or something else equally insulting.
I'm not saying "they changed the definition". I'm saying "too many things about the way this term is gatekept from general use are flawed, and done for political gain sometimes, the average discussion of what is happening right now being one of them". It depends on the context whether a more academic definition standard should be expected, and even then it's not as straightforward as whoever is trying to shut down its use likes to pretend, and so perhaps a less-important hill to die on than whatever discussion is happening at that point in time."
lmao, I'm Mexican. Pointing out the last name is Mexican being the reason it's the same for both of them in a silly way doesn't make it racist. It makes sense that we try to be watchful of actual racism, but it also makes sense to not go overboard, we lose support, sow division, and waste energy that way
Just because you've adapted to the lies doesn't make them ok, nor the best version of what is possible
