- collegeburner 4y agoBeef dies in the wild too so DEADBEEF should not, I do not care if they want to use B16D1CC instead :) I can't see why CAFEBABE would be offensive though. ...And honestly I guess I don't care? If people are that mad about some levity then I probably do not want to work with them.

- yesenadam 4y agoI don't understand how any part of that applies to my comment at all, sorry. (I take it from the way you quoted it at me that you think it does.) "Flamebait" applies to the comment I was replying to, though, I think.

- mitchdoogle 4y agoIf you want levity, why not just use terms that aren't offensive? If you can't think of a joke without being sexist or misogynist, then that's on you - don't blame others for "not having a sense of humor"
