Bring back calling these people weird!!
Call them sweaty for wanting to control women's bodies. They should be called out every time they do something or support somthing dumb.
They're not weird, they're bad. Weird is not bad.
They like being bad, though. Bad is like Darth Vader.
I think we're mature enough to recognize that weird (quirky) and weird (lingers around children) are different things.
Yeah no, please don't associate weird with bad things more than it already is. Weird people have enough problems already without having to deal with negative wording.
You know you can just not call them weird, right?
Loudly and proudly: Tourette's is normal; it's just a condition you can have, who cares.
With gusto: Mandatory genital checks in the highschool girl's locker room is weird.
Yeah, I can, but others will not. Words are important, do I really have to explain inclusive language on Lemmy?
Yes they will. Conservatives are weird, not whoever you have in mind.
And so conservatives will say that "being the borderzar and opening up the border" is weird—just tell them no. Be confidently unconvinced, they won't win.
"Call them the sweaty" can you explain this phrase to me? Or is it a typo lol
In this context it means being creepy, but it's a generally negative analogy
You are the sweaty /s
Lmao my mind totally filtered the "the" part in both comments, nice catch
It's making fun of people (generally Facebook boomers) who use the term "sweetie" condescendingly, but also can't spell for shit.
Or maybe the meme has evolved and I'm behind... lol
You are a bit, akshully /s
The slang “sweaty” is used loosely to mean competitive or like overly anxious. Usually in response to making some inane point.
Comes from competitive gaming where other players who try to hard (“tryhards”) making gaming not fun for normal players.
“Too many sweaty hard lobbies made my favorite game not fun to play. How can I get good when I just get killed over and over!”
This is why I don't try to keep up with slang anymore. Too many sweats.
TIL!
Memes be like that sometimes.
