@onepict@chaos.social yeah massive ick.
Also "mogging" and a few other words.
Feels like losing ground willingly.

@davey_cakes@mastodon.ie @onepict@chaos.social Okay, hot take: NOT using this language for that reason is willingly losing ground. Pepe the Frog, which, sure, originated on 4chan, was becoming widely used, until some people decided that anybody using it must be a 4chan nazi. When online leftists start berating you for an innocent meme, it pushes people to the right. It's just a silly way to talk at this point. Kids and teens are talking like this, and leftists playing language police is awful PR.
