    this will be unpopular but the leopards ate my face retort is not rhetorically useful.

    lots of times these are people who have gotten the closest they ever have been to true consciousness of their oppression under fascism, and a significant portion of the time it’s not helpful to react to that with shaming. this pattern only serves to reaffirm conservatism in the minds of people the most primed to reject it.

    it’s like those people that shamed others for quitting twitter or joining bluesky too late/instead of fedi. like idk holy shit just have some awareness of the environment that we create for people that might be learning and growing.


  • You are unhelpfully combative. DEI factually is a term that has been made a victim of twisting and manipulation. Flickerman was well within their rights to point out that this malformation of meaning has gone so far as to influence the basic grammatical use of the term.

    You will notice that Flickerman even gives OP an out, admitting that their misusage of the term might be unintentional, likely skewed by years of propaganda. That is, OP could be entirely innocent and misled.

    Therefore, ironically, the individual here who is truly reacting programmatically to seek victimhood, is you. :)
