    Bring back calling these people weird!!

    Call them sweaty for wanting to control women’s bodies. They should be called out every time they do something or support somthing dumb.

        It’s making fun of people (generally Facebook boomers) who use the term “sweetie” condescendingly, but also can’t spell for shit.

        Or maybe the meme has evolved and I’m behind… lol

          You are a bit, akshully /s

          The slang “sweaty” is used loosely to mean competitive or like overly anxious. Usually in response to making some inane point.

          Comes from competitive gaming where other players who try to hard (“tryhards”) making gaming not fun for normal players.

          “Too many sweaty hard lobbies made my favorite game not fun to play. How can I get good when I just get killed over and over!”

        They like being bad, though. Bad is like Darth Vader.

        I think we’re mature enough to recognize that weird (quirky) and weird (lingers around children) are different things.

          Yeah no, please don’t associate weird with bad things more than it already is. Weird people have enough problems already without having to deal with negative wording.

            You know you can just not call them weird, right?

            Loudly and proudly: Tourette’s is normal; it’s just a condition you can have, who cares.
            With gusto: Mandatory genital checks in the highschool girl’s locker room is weird.

              Yeah, I can, but others will not. Words are important, do I really have to explain inclusive language on Lemmy?

                Yes they will. Conservatives are weird, not whoever you have in mind.

                And so conservatives will say that “being the borderzar and opening up the border” is weird—just tell them no. Be confidently unconvinced, they won’t win.
