It could be. I could mean it that way, or I could mean it like "Sis", or I could just like the sound. Without intent to be rude, it's not.
But I disagree with how hard you have to try. The people on here are trying fairly hard to make sure everyone knows how offensive they might find it. It didn't offend you, but you're offended that it might offend someone, or worse - that it might not offend someone. Nobody said "It's the compression method for white men", that whole racist angle is yours.
I find your shaming word-police game to be exclusionary. Please stop it.
- CJefferson 11y agoI do not find it offensive. But, I do know people who found it offensive, and wanted it changed. If that is the case, I can see no particular reason not to change the name. Who exactly is being excluded? No-one (it seems to me) watch attached to .bro, it only existed for a couple of days.
- EdHominem 11y agoWho wanted it is beside the point. It was crushed under political correctness (ie the assumption of unspeakable harm) rather than any actual harm in only a few days. If anyone did like it I doubt they'd have felt free to speak up. > I do know people who found it offensive I find Bros offensive - in my house. But the word? No. "Nazi" is just a word, Nazis are offensive. > I can see no particular reason not to change the name. Ditto there's no reason to. Someone went out of their way to take offense which was bounced around an echo chamber and now everyone is offended by something they didn't know existed before today. That's not something we should reward.
