Midwestern Marx is a PatSoc
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Tiktok has been such a facilitator it’s unbelievable. Within a week or two a word I’ve never heard a single white person use will be a part of the average genZer’s/genAlpha’s lexicon. Plus they will then be called “meme words” 💀
I do not really care but something will always be uncomfortable about a 13 year old white kid saying rizz and gyatt in every other sentence.
God I fucking hate this term so much it's not even a word it's just onomatopoeia 💀 we already have plenty of terms for ass/booty/cake
Language evolves and changes and I'm aware things change between generations but like damn man this feels like a complete regression. I blame capitalism
Wait at the risk of sounding incredibly old and white gyatt means ass? I thought it was supposed to be like an alternate phonetic spelling of "Got Damn"
The etymology I'd always heard for "gyatt" was that the meaning went from the exclamation "got damn" itself, to something that might make one exclaim "got damn" -- namely, a big ole sexy bumbum
Yeah exactly, ain't that some shit 💀 something that has nothing to do with the actual ass, just what you'd say if you saw one... smdh
something something bearing no resemblance to the original
More than the word I hate the way it is used incessantly by children in TikTok comments whenever someone has a nice ass ("I GYATT to see it", "you GYATT to give it to her") just shut the fuck up already
THAT DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE WTF I HATE IT HERE
It really is weird hearing American suburban white kids on TikTok talking like the inner city kids I went to school with when I lived in the US. It’s really irritating to hear black slang referred to as “gen Z slang”
Gen Z didn't even come up with most of it, it was Black Millennials 🙄 funny how they spent the last decade attributing everything to us yet can't seem to give credit where it's due
