I worked the 1's and 2's for years and I never, ever heard someone say "reeeee" to refer to scratching. And in what world is the above a record scratch? It doesn't even make sense in context.

pointing out the possibility for offense when there clearly is no offense implied, and no one stating that they are offended, smacks of white knighting. but to me it seems like unnecessary language policing.

You came rushing to the defense of another user. The white knighting is not happening on my end. And what's worse, you're defending something that can easily be verified as a bad thing to say. But sure, go ahead and die on the hill of defending "REEEEEEE."

I made it clear that I am assuming it was not their intention. But language is not all about intention. If you know something is offensive, just don't say it. It's not that difficult.

That use of the term was clear. It had no other interpretation. But please keep lecturing me, someone who is on the spectrum (which is not a requirement for speaking up by the way), about how I am White Knighting over a shitty 4chan meme making fun of autistic people.

Your ignorance of a term does not suddenly make it innocuous. Especially not when someone is standing here telling you exactly what it means and you could easily verify it with a cursory Google search because it’s that prominent and known now. But no, instead of trying to understand this you chose to lecture people what they can and can’t be upset about.
