Yeah— here’s the thing with Woke-ism.
If you don’t know why it’s offensive, then it’s not.
You can’t just roll up- “Yo, we don’t say that anymore.”
No, YOU don’t say that anymore. That doesn’t mean we don’t.
Your definition is different. This is called semantics. And it’s not offensive simply because meaning A is different from meaning B.
Stop demanding that people understand your semantics.

Ok... where does that end?
Most people think cunt is one of those words but many people who you would think would find that offensive, don't. They choose to not be offended by it.
I'm making the more general argument that you decide how you feel. You can choose to be offended by it or not. This applies to almost everything in life, not just pejoratives.Goal: ski in the 2018/19 season

stupid fucking flat brim ball caps
That’s not just all there is, though. The intent of language is a big part of how it’s perceived. So who is saying matters just as much, and there are certain words that are almost always pejorative. So yeah, in narrow circumstances can somebody be ok with certain words being used? Maybe. But when a stranger on the internet or a random on the street uses the same word you know the intent of it.
You can’t put the responsibility of your words on the person you’re talking to. That’s not how it works. So say whatever you want, but words have meanings and words have consequences so it’s better to know what the consequences are of what comes out of your mouth.
So if you want to use a word that’s ok in narrow contexts with specific people you should be damn sure that you are meeting those criteria before you speak.
People on this board can defend themselves, or not, but there is a reason why there is hesitancy for people to come out, or why most of the women get driven off from this place, or the total lack of diversity in this community. It’s not only because skiing is largely a white, male sport, it’s because of the way a lot of the loudest posters speak on here. IMO that makes this place a lot less interesting

Ok... I hear what your saying and I see your point.
Edit: I guess the thing I'd like to add and kind of the point Gaijin was making, is that some of this stuff isn't even obvious pejoratives like "f****t". I agree that one is somewhat obviously less ok.
But some of it is maybe insensitive at the very worst, but has become a woke grenade, and I think a lot of people are tired of being berated for using a word that is not pejorative and is all of the sudden off limits for reasons that sound pretty banal. I.e. I don't even know all the things I'm not allowed to say, but I'm busy raising a kid and don't have time to keep up on the lingo. And I'm tired of people inferring my intent based on language that was acceptable not to long ago.
For the record I am NOT saying "f*****t" is an example of that.Last edited by Shorty_J; 06-22-2022 at 10:54 PM.

I’m going to stand by “retarded” as being okay. It’s a medical term, deal with it. Never go full retard.
