e: though in retrospect, in those days of extreme online homophobia and gay panic, discovering what you call yourself is also a slur for a gay person is kinda sorta funny.
Twink is not a slur if you're part of the community and tbh I'm not sure the term used in early MMOs has any related connotation to the skinny feminine gay dudes?

oh, well. Yeah, it's Ohio. So I guess it is/was used. But lots of stuff was and is that isn't ok.

I'd also like to request we don't make this the PYF slurs thread, like high schoolers getting a chance to say drat and rear end in class because they're reading Shakespeare.

Now that I think about it, it is odd that I never heard people pitch a fit over the gender change coffin. Especially since chuds were throwing around a ton of gross transphobic poo poo (especially slurs) about Gwyndolin from the first game ...and he wasn't even trans! But then the second game let you change your own gender whenever you want, but not even a peep from those same people.

Edit: I was wrong. I just googled out of curiosity and there definitely is a lot of transphobia out there about that drat coffin. Somehow I was never aware of it.

A lot of this poo poo is incredibly easy to ignore if you don't literally actively seek it out. It's mostly literally just the same guys complaining about literally everything hoping to get clicks. It's a symbiotic ecosystem of clout-chasers.

Iirc it is related: Twink originally referred to the young boyfriends of older well to do men who showered them with expensive gifts, just like Twinks in MMOs have gear they couldn't get on their own.

I thought twinks (in terms of gay slang) were skinny gay guys without a lot of body hair. Often young, but not necessarily. It's definitely used as an insult sometimes, but I don't think it's a slur. And I don't think the age of their partner really enters into it.

It was not rounding, but it is possible that people lie on Internet polls.



As long as the vast majority of people are still clicking the "No" option, that's good. Guy most likely assumed most men would click the "Yes" option and most women the "No" option.

I love this trend of conservatives making concern-posts with AI pictures that completely distract from whatever point they're trying to make.

Also lol that AIs are so internet poisoned they can't spell "vote".

I've never heard it shortened to that, in Ireland anyway.
It used to be a legitimate term for traveling metalworkers who specialized in repairing household stuff like pots and pans, but it became a derogatory term for all traveller people.

I'm pretty sure the main reason for textured walls was to camouflage how uneven and crappy most plaster jobs were before the advent of drywall and/or modern plastering equipment. They are a pain in the rear end to keep clean and it's pretty much impossible to match the texture up if you have to redo part of them for electrical work or whatever. There is no reason to install one in the modern day, may as well ask why no one seems to keep a chamber pot around anymore.

this is wrong, it's actually a slur that the LPA has (and other little person advocacy groups have) requested people stop using. And, growing up in the US, I've never heard of any league called that. Peewee and Junior are the terms I've heard.

Do you know what word the community that now considers that term a slur would rather people use? I heard in a roundabout way that it had become considered a slur now but never got a solid answer on what the preferred term should be.

Uh wow, I thought the Roma-equivalent people in Wheel of Time being called the "Tinkers" and being known for repairing pots and pans was an innovation in the story, didn't realize that was an actual thing associated with the real people.
