Can you guys not make this job a shitshow for like 2 seconds? Are you serious right now? We’re gonna argue, knowing all the historically disgusting context that comes from usage of homophobic, racist and ableist slurs, groups of people that dealt with actual life-threatening oppression from those around them, we’re gonna argue that a meme about old dudes is just as bad? This is the shitty hill you wanna die on?

And just to make a shitty argument worse, you use an ableist slur, so I’m supposed to take you being offended about a meme seriously while you hurl the same vitriolic shit that you perceive is being thrown to you? I feel bad telling a fuckin 70 year old dude to grow up.

You just gotta stand in the middle of the crowd and do the macarena till everyone stops sometimes, you know?
