Chonk is an incredibly ableist meme as well, unless you think it's hilarious that some people can't spell things properly because they're neuro-divergent.

They're doing the "I identify as an attack helicopter" bit, because some people just cannot hear that they may have done something racist without doubling down on it.

We're all sharing memes and having fun, to die on the hill of "an accented word is racism even if it's about a cute cat" is just as exhausting and uptight as insisting that any misspelled word or word derivation has its roots in insulting the dyslexic or other neuro-divergent people.

Why not just apologize for unintentionally posting something that people find to be racist instead of doubling down on being an rear end in a top hat? If you're going to talk about hills to die on your right to post "oh lawd" memes despite knowing they have racist implications to some people is an interesting choice.

Like someone earlier in the thread said, just do a GIS for "oh lawd" cuz it doesn't matter if the older southern generations use it regardless of race in polite society, words mean what they're used for, it's how language works, and apparently these days in the context of memes it's being mainly used on Mammy memes and at least one meme of a black dude holding a bunch of watermelons going OH LAWDS IS I IN HEAVEN

that's the hill some of y'all are choosing to die on

You are all missing the point that the l—d fat cat meme is highly offensive, not because it’s racist, but because it takes God’s name in vain. This violates the 3rd Commandment and I think we can all do better to avoid offending our Christian brethren. This ain’t it chiefs.

I still have no idea where the absolute unit thing even started. Like, was "absolute unit" a math term that was applied to something before it got applied to a big fat guy?

It’s British English - my coworkers say it. Absolute is an intensifier.
