Minecraft. Honestly, send me into the wilderness where I can build a little log cabin by a lake, make furniture, and live off the land. And the only people around are some zombies who don’t try to talk to you. Keep your million.
After reading through the replies I had to go read the urban dictionary pages (particularly the “gay panic defense” one) and hoooooly.
Can’t decide. Curious y’all’s thoughts. Are there some things that are just too far gone to ever be reclaimed? Or can anything be taken back given enough time? Like, I would argue that the swastika is probably just gone for good. What’s the metric or litmus test here? For me, “bad b-” coneys a mental image that nothing else does and I love to see women reclaiming that word in such a cool way (not that I’d use it, since I’m masc. And who’s using it plays a part, right?) But I also know people who feel offended by any form of its use by anybody.
I’m sure that there’s no way to distill it down into the equation that my brain is looking for. But right and wrong being judged mostly by vibes feels kinda fucked up to me. Particularly given some flavors neurodivergence for whom vibes and feels aren’t free.
edit: whoops. Sorry OP. Didn’t mean to completely side-trail your topic. Appreciate the post though. Interesting discussion
