There's definitely a distinction (lemmy.world)

I've seen some people getting genuinely uncomfortable at the recent discourse. Just wanted to point out there's more than one kind of weird.

Yes

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

That entirely depends on YOU

All I can say is I'm not a bad person (I'd like to think)

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I guess when I hear people derisively calling someone gay, I just think to myself, "They mean the bad kind of gay, they're not talking about me."

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Like, uppity gay?

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, kinda like that gay pride image of Putin. It's mocking him and his draconian views of gay people, not gay people themselves.

Kinda like that ONE time someone called someone gay and nothing like the billions of other times. Got it, how could I have ever been confused.

Has it occurred to you that maybe I object to that, too? It's not okay just because it's Putin.

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Object away. That's your prerogative. I am not so vain as to think everyone will pick up what I'm putting down.

I suspect it's related to USA current affairs and have no clue what it's referring to. Any hints for us outsiders?

I think I inspired this and I am thrilled.

There are those who sing “I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo,” and those who claim to be “the opposite of weird.”

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Boo Radley weird vs Bob Ewell weird

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca -4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

No. There is not a distinction. We've been working for decades to make weird okay. Fuck them for throwing us under the bus.

If you're a grown adult who isn't getting offended by tampons or solar and aren't absolutely obsessed with other people's sexuality preferences, then Id say you're in the clear.

As long as you're not bragging about how great your daughter would be to sleep with.

I think there is disgusting/cringe weird and then there are people who are simply different.

People who aren't trying to follow the standard template are awesome because they're rare and they have unique experiences to add.

These guys however are all trying to follow a template, and went everyone else to follow it. And they're trying so hard in a way that is so illogical it's ridiculous because they want to be "alphas"
