At first I thought "weird is such a tame insult.". But I'm loving how much it bothers them.
Funny how "weird" bothers them more than, say, "rapist".
Oof great point
Tells you how they value conformity above all else
Well they only think one of those is bad
Funny or horrifying?
Pretty weird tbh
The fact is funny, Trump is horrifying.
Rape is normalized if you are married, or would be married soon, or it doesn't count due to other party's low social standing or\and lack of agency, or you just scream and threaten louder than them when it is decided.
I used to be fine with being weird but now that they've taken over the term I cannot identify that way anymore.
Try being strange instead?
to be honest I kind of feel like "strange" has negative connotations whereas weird has been normalized.
Nah, be cool with it. I’m weird, but I’m good weird, these people though they’re bad weird. By being comfortable with weirdness in ourselves we block the nou response
nah, you're right for two reasons:
B) they don't self-identify as weird as we do
Then you're missing the point.
