Current me, ironically? Still a dick.

Edit: didn’t realize what community I was in lmfao not a programmer, just a perpetual douchebag.

You should consider committing to reading an entire comment before chiming in, next time. Your comment was irrelevant and didn’t really add much to the conversation. Yes, he’s a pedo. No, that’s not relevant to this comment thread, which is discussing the Republican party’s projections.

Sure, but you could have maybe tried to interpret it a little bit and ask them what they mean? Instead you opted to make public spectacle of something that a lot of non-native speakers are self-conscious of.

Or you could just have not engaged. But again. You opted to make fun of someone because either you were being thoughtless/careless, or because you’re an asshole. Not a huge deal, but deserves being commented on.

Yeah, that’s fair lol.

Hard to take your original comment being excited seriously because we are on lemmy and woke is just the norm here lmao. Hence why we are on a popular post about intersectionality!

And yeah also I don’t think they meant any harm. That’s why I just said “ok xenophobe” instead of like, reporting it and moving on. So they can be like “oh yeah. I guess I did say something problematic.”

Bro must be 20 if they think 2017 was the year of alternating caps. It turns out, some sentiment is timeless. 😎 but yes, also, making fun of someone because they aren’t very practiced at their non-native language is xenophobia. are you familiar of the concept of “laughing with vs laughing without”?

But okay, let’s say it’s not xenophobic to target someone specifically for a cultural/language difference. It’s not xenophobia, it’s just being an asshole. And yeah, assholes deserve to be called out and dogged on.

So what’s your point? You just love assholes? Big anal guy?

It’s xenophobic to ridicule a non-native speaker and ask them if they had a stroke. You are ridiculing them and making a joke at their expense.

You also have a lot of gall to comment on how other people speak, to be honest. Your mastery of the English language is lacking. Maybe it’s not your first language either?

“hanging out with your friends”

That is not semi-parasocial, it is full parasocial, and you should do your best to discourage that kind of sentiment if ever conveyed genuinely.

I know it’s a tough subject. Pretty much everyone is semi-parasocial. But describing someone you literally don’t know and just watch content from as a friend is parasocial and an incredibly delusional and dangerous mindset.

I can’t dechiper the latter half but it seems like they’re trying to say “feminist” started as a “slur” that was used against men and women who wanted women to be able to vote. Feminists “claimed” the slur so to speak and broadened its meaning to encapsulate more issues?

But again I’m just guessing. English isn’t their first language. Maybe let’s not expect people to have perfect English on fucking Lemmy? lmao

ok xenophobe

Edit: very ironic to be called woke on a post discussing intersectionality btw.

Let’s be clear. Making a joke at someone’s expense? That is an insult. If that insult is predicated on the fact they don’t know your native language as well as you do, that is an insult targeting their culture (or lack of full integration into your own).

Assuming it from a western-centric perspective that the commenter themselves is from somewhere English is a native language: Definitionally, objectively, undeniably, it was xenophobia.

If it was from another non-native English speaker… boohoo I called an asshole a xenophobe on the internet. Shut up, losers.

This thread is confusing because ChonkyOwlbear and TrickDacy are getting a lot of upvotes upfront, but they are both children with fingers in their ears shouting “nanana i dont hear you, democrats perfect, both sides narrative is bullshit”.

They are ignoring the reality if what arrow74 said (we should primary these Dems from within the party and even failing that, they are preferable to republican candidates) and even after being proven wrong, continued to treat arrow74 like a liar who wanted to muddy waters on behalf of the republicans.

It was just a crazy ignorant boomer moment for both of them. But I needed this comment further up so that more people could just see
