8 months agomy read was that by putting “banning” in quotes, there was a subtext to the comment.
no one is “banning” words - the milieu is that we don’t use certain words for certain (in this case obvious and terrible) reasons.
by pushing the focus to the “banning” and not the obvious dog whistle, this comment seems to be shifting the convo away from people being racist shits to a discussion on language.
hence this entire comment chain.
i just want people to get the takeaway that jesus fuck people are racist, not “liberals can’t ban words, see?”
by us (not in canada, but your shittier southern neighbour), it’s all beer cans.
like, bad enough you’re driving while chugging a tallboy of natty ice, but you gotta throw it in our yard on your way by, too?
i shouldn’t be surprised that the venn diagram is a circle, but for some reason i always am.
