MODERATORS
Meanwhile, you are perfectly ok with judging someone based uniquely on which term they tend to use? Oh my, mankind is really going down the drain…
Yes. Life is a game of trying to guess which people are full of shit. If they say "feeeemales" and then turn out to be fine, great, I'll probably give them a heads up not to do that.
Was there a non-judgmental era I'm unaware of?
Ok, fine, I'll "try to guess" too then, if that's your game. Goodbye!
Bye-bye.
Yes. Language can show what sort of media people consume and the sorts of groups they socialize with, especially when it comes to the internet.
If someone is using incel language, there will be a strong initial assumption they spend time within incel circles consuming toxic content like Andrew Tate and will remain under that assumption until proven otherwise. Sorry, not sorry?
