“There is nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation! A human being [...] cannot resist the opportunity to reveal himself and express his personality which conversation gives him. Every time he will give himself away.” -Hercule Poirot
is obviously a concession and not any kind of stand at all. I accept the concession because I guess it's good for the site to continue existing.

Problem solved.
I doxxed Albert B. Rampage last night and discovered he is problematic! We need to cancel him today.

Doctor please protect me tonight.
Planning to exclusively use this terminology in my next game

You are surprised that you can't predict my opinions on all aspects of culture war issues based on my believing that black lives matter?

"Hammer"?
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

I'm saying I'm surprised that somebody with a BLM avatar would consider using another term besides the one that became famous as a way to extrajudiciously kill black people to be a "concession" and therefore bad, yeah.
You're gonna have to help me figure out how to give a shit about your opinion here.
try giving a shit about marginalised people and how the words you use affect them
I will. I'll do so by not giving power to words that didn't have much in the first place.
this is the same argument ppl use to justify using slurs, so I hope you're not going down that path

Most slurs I'm aware of don't have a legitimate utility within a language that has little to nothing to do with any sort of prejudicial or discriminatory views. I'm also not aware of a particularly large sum of slurs, however.
I don't expect a nerd like you to understand etymology anyways.
