I just saw someone say (paraphrased) "you should stop saying [word with mildly bigoted implications], it's literally the same as [drastic slur that they didn't even fully type out]."

I am NOT paraphrasing the inclusion of the word "literally".

Help

@cocoa I know, but… I read this as a genuine use. :’D That does make more sense!

@xieliansbignaturals@blorbo.social I mean I think even with definition shift it sounds like they're being unnecessarily extreme and some annoyance is more than warranted

@cocoa Thank you so much. 🥺

Like, what they were objecting to was not the phrase "wow that's so crazy," but that's the general level of offensiveness.

@xieliansbignaturals People should not be allowed to use the word "literally" before proving they know what it means. But also in this case even without this it's not really better so... Dafuk indeed.

@LeGaosaure yeah
