    Nice post. Once the emoji bug is fixed, you’d be getting the gold star above the spoiler.

    It really is odd to defend such a toothless phrase. It just alienates people who are neurodivergent/disabled or know people who are who would get slurred with it. And it’s not like the liberals would actually be insulted by it. What’s the point of using it, outside of feeling like you’re 13 again.

    I’ll perhaps acknowledge there’s an ironic use (i.e. sometimes Hasan will use it when ironically saying what a conservative would), but even that makes me cringe.

    The chapo podcast quit using it, so if they work to stop, I don’t see why posters can’t.

        Hasan just sucks for far different reasons. Vaush is actively aggressive towards leftist people of color. Maybe I just haven’t seen enough cause I don’t watch react streamers, but Hasan just seems a bit out of touch because of his money. As far as streamers go, I think he receives far more hate than is warranted.
