isn't that more or less why he's bald in the comics? it's either that or super-boy fucked up, yet again

i think we're on the verge of rounding back onto "do the kinds of opinions we're talking about have any legitimacy at all", which i think to some degree you probably think they do - just going by your "i agree with the sentiment" comment at the start - but like i said before, is really far too big an issue to be…

so your argument is that words like "piss-baby" and "garbage" have as clear an etymological root to shakesville as the confederate flag does to the antebellum south? again, like - you're either massively overestimating the number of people who are aware of these particular skerricks of the internet, or you're…

"Piss-baby. Jesus fucking christ. I don't disagree with the sentiment but don't drag that infantile shit in here."

your entire approach to this discussion has been one that's premised on the idea that you're dealing with a super serious issue and it's deeply emotionally upsetting to you and it needs to be policed and stamped out.

just because im engaged in discussion doesn't mean i'm emotionally caught up in this stuff, buddy. there's a long way between me giving my honest response to what you have to say and your "me. i care. that's why we're having this discussion" or "if i don't do this i'll become cranky" nonsense.

here's the problem with "im gonna yell at the piss-baby culture", really, as an extension of the political philosophy you've just outlined (i'm not going to wade into that quagmire because lets face it: we'll get nowhere)

i'm not mounting a defense of it so much as i'm deconstructing you and what you're doing, really.

if i was to say "darn" would you get equally pissy with me for buying into corny old-fashioned beliefs about blasphemy as well? because that's essentially what you're arguing here.

i went through the comments of the person you originally replied to, and i found them using the word "idiot" twice in the first loaded page alone, if that's the only example that you have.

here's a suggestion: you actually come forward with the kind of language you're talking about

"i miss the days when people said truly horrible shit to one another. remember when people called each other the n-word? i miss that. i miss they days where people casually demeaned gays and women, or when we really just laid into people for being fat fucks or being disabled. that, to me, is a world we gained…

what are you even talking about honestly

who cares though

here's a better question: why are you moaning about people not using slurs

i would argue that she was raped. he held her against her will and forced her into a sexual act. arguing that there has to be penetration for it to count seems a little ontologically icky to me.

you're not saying something mean enough to me ! waaaaah ! what a joooooooke

this is the funniest thing in the WORLD

the idea that we shouldn't use words if people can't immediately figure out what they mean seems like a pretty high standard to set for technical language, though.

i wrote a big long thing but it got too wordy so:
