Slurs are all bad but octoroon is the one that has the least distance from 'funny' territory to me

it's that long double o sound, that automatically makes a word 20% funnier:

goof
poop
spooky

goop

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.

those aren’t slurs. please take the exercise seriously.

of course they are. slurs are disparaging terms applied broadly to an identifiable group of people.

quote:

Meta’s acquisition of the gif search engine was already at a substantial discount from the company’s peak valuation of about $600m in 2016, a reflection of the decreasing interest in animated gifs as a method of self-expression on the internet.

In September 2022, as Meta made a last-ditch appeal to the CMA to try to prevent a forced sale, the company warned that gifs “have fallen out of fashion as a content form, with younger users in particular describing gifs as ‘for boomers’ and ‘cringe’.”

In the filing, Meta warned that Giphy would struggle to survive as an independent business, and that there were few potential suitors for a forced sale.



giphy was a business????

Is Giphy from the period of approximately one week when everyone was making blog posts with animated gifs showing reactions for each paragraph or whatever people were briefly doing a few years ago?

Because going to it some of the content is like but some of the stuff seems like stuff that people including zoomers would presumably post on discord so blaming it not doing well on zoomers not liking gifs or whatever seems kind of like a dumb excuse

in my experience giphy is one of those services you integrate with your work slack so awful people can post reaction gifs by just typing like
code:
/giphy i hate mondays!!!!

seriously though i've only ever seen it used in that way, where people want to do the action of posting a reaction gif but can't be assed to like, curate at all, so they just type some query and let giphy pick one for them, which is just so loving weird to me. it is something that seems to be very much focused on enabling the action and aesthetic of posting a gif rather than like, actual content or wanting to be funny or anything.
