"I also don't agree with the Wallstreetbets culture. I'm just trying to explain it."
- some_furry 6y agoYou can explain it without calling people "autistic losers". Just "losers" is sufficient.
- derision 6y agoIt's not sufficient, because the culture of WSB is such that they refer to themselves as autists. To not use the term would be an inaccurate description
- some_furry 6y agoYou don't have to use the same language as the people you're talking about. See, for example, ThoughtSlime's coverage of fascist militias. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZMWQDvZQZs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZMWQDvZQZs
- derision 6y agoOr we can stop bending over backwards to try to satisfy everyone's delicate sensibilities
- at_a_remove 6y agoYou don't get it, so here goes: they refer to themselves as autistic losers, and "retards" and such, precisely because it "triggers" someone exactly like you. You won't look any deeper, having been "triggered," and that's mission accomplished for them.
