It's Troper-speak for what's basically a female Chad.

I'm sure it's a super-trenchant commentary on a character from a Sonic-themed dating sim that somehow has ten times as many trope references as Othello, though.

It's surely a reference to Sabrina the Teenage Witch?

It is, yeah. They have since changed the name of the trope from "The Libby" to "Alpha Bitch" as part of the effort to make the trope names less in-jokey

I was referring to the Tumblr posters who say they're "literally shaking" because their dragon-kin status isn't recognized by everyone. Which obviously causes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

But you read it however you want.

More like people just use PTSD as a throwaway term and not for its actual meaning.

Like, "I just got PTSD from almost being in a car crash" the person saying it doesn't actually mean they think they really have PTSD, just that it was scary and annoying over-exaggeration is apparently a thing.

Contrast with, (trigger warning) "He has PTSD from being in a car crash and seeing someone burn to death" or She has PTSD because she was sexually assaulted" which is probably not exaggeration because you could actually get PTSD from those things.

This one is a bit on the cheap side but I'll post it anyway since activity has been low.

I get lumped in with a lot of these extremist anti-CIS, anti-men, anti-white SJWs whenever I talk about my struggles and my activism. I don't hate cis people, or white people, or straight people, or anyone for that matter. But I do think the majority of hatred these days is directed toward the wrong people. We should be fighting our oppressors and enemies and anyone else who means to do us harm... not our allies. Generalizing anyone by the colour of their skin, gender, sexuality, or how they identify sexually is no better than any other racist, sexist, genderist, bigot. That's not fighting for equality, it's just a toxic distraction.

I love/hate how every single one of these cookie cutter "As a (strawman imgur hates), I think (bigoted thing Imgur loves)" is so glaringly obviously fake but Imgur still puts every single one to the front page :cripes: It's like when people kept looking into the post history of "As a black person, I love donald trump!" people on reddit and lo and behold, every time there'd be personal selfies of a very clearly white dude.

If you read it in reverse it essentially says "You SJWs. Stay clear of the straight, white, cis males. Because those are the things that the OP makes a clear point that they are certainly not against.

Deliberate changes in spelling. I'm thinking it has to do with feminism and followers of some of the various feminist movements changing the spelling to womyn or some such to denote their relationship with said movements.

Also something about not assuming someone's gender identity I guess.

Some feminists started intentionally misspelling or censoring "woman" as they found even the English word sexist, claiming that it assumes that males are the norm and females are simply a variation on men.

It's actually a glaring lack of research into the etymology: originally "man" was what denoted that you were a human being. Males were wermenn and females were wifmenn. Over time the language evolved so that males got the prefix removed, but intentionally misspelling "womyn" is ironically removing the part of the noun that makes them people.

:goonsay:


Yeah but your etymological explanation only really matters to the few people who know it and give a poo poo about it.

I guess to them it's more about the symbolic gesture of removing the "man" in it, not some fine point about English etymology. Most people are going to see man and woman and figure the same thing as they did.

I'm just wondering what the reaction would be if you presented someone who did the "womyn" thing with the explanation that they're accidentally removing the part that makes them people rather than the part that compares them to males.
