ITT people baww at the mere mention of race and gender, and proceed to behave as if the problem is other people being too sensitive about race and gender.

[-] davemeech@lemmy.ca 19 points 9 months ago

I'm very sorry, but what is ITT and baww?

[-] mysteryname101@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

ITT. In this thread.

Bawww in this context means “cry”

[-] davemeech@lemmy.ca 20 points 9 months ago

Thanks for the clarification. This is how I find out that I'm old.

[-] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 months ago

What does old mean to you? Maybe you're just not terminally online 😅

.... ITT has been used since early 00s AFAIK (2003 urban dictionary https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ITT). It's possible that it was used before that I just couldn't find any "proof" and can't remember it personally.

The bawwww I just got contextually. Plus sounded out it kinda sounds like someone bawling their eyes out. QQ

Upvoting in solidarity.

Same. I always immediately think of the Fela Kuti track!

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I thought ITT was in reference to that technical community college I used to see ads for on tv

"I'm sorry you feel that way."

Refusing to accept responsibility for their actions.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 12 points 9 months ago

This funny story really brought a lot of great accounts out of the woodwork to block!

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

You're not kidding. The comments are so much worse than I was expecting.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I had to scroll down to see what you mean. Shocking that people really still don’t understand how privilege works.
