Why have you posted a good take? I'm dissapointed, I'd like to speak to the manager.

Me normally:
GSRM (Gender Sexual and Romantic Minorities) is a great concise phrasing to make everyone feel included. meow-coffee

Me when a chud goes off about too many letter:
"bird-screm-2 I'M ADDING MORE LETTERS JUST FOR YOU BIGOT

and there's going to be 10000 new ones every time you bitch about it meow-tableflip

As a cishet I'm really glad I found this as an option because while "queer" is a good catchall term IMO I don't generally feel comfortable using an arguably reclaimed slur as someone outside of the group it was used against except around people who know I'm not a chud about to pull out some more antiquated tactical slurs.

too closely resembles ASMR and GRRM

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

George RR Martin breathily reads you a romantic scene between two trans women: GRRM GSRM ASMR

I should probably stop assuming people have encyclopedic knowledge of The Simpsons, nevertheless:

Phony McRingring: ...and scientists have shown that even monkeys can remember 10 characters! You're not stupider than a monkey, right?

frothingfash How big of a monkey?

i like the +, it's like if the letter T was queer comfy-cool

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

ngl it is a tedious acronym and this is coming from one of the letters that's usually not included (I'm ace). I say queer instead when I need to refer to all of us broadly.

That redditor's a douche tho

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I say queer instead

seems to be p widely agreed upon as the solution, but anyone complaining about the acronym should still be shot on sight

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

By calling me a bigot, you're the real bigot yourself galaxy-brain

It's the guy who was doing anticommunist trolling on Lemmygrad and defending the Brave browser shocked-pikachu

Proposal for the last sentence to become a tagline.

[-] Amaltheamannen@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I prefer the Swedish acronym HBTQ, even shorter. Merges L and G as homosexual. I don't mind if people use more letters but it just invited ridicule and is frankly beats the point of the original acronym which is supposed to include everyone.

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

giving a shit about what bigots think is pointless. I use queer for brevity but I will go at it with anyone who tries to mock additional letters getting added on. being more inclusive is never a bad thing.

It's not our fault the masses are generally a disgusting horde of thoughtless, hedonistic nazis that can't be bothered to read anything that might challenge their base pleasure they find in bullying "weirdos". Let alone have the intellectual capacity to understand something as basic as "kindness".

Do they really think mindless automatons like grillman are in the right about such issues? Let alone ANY issue?

[-] DroneRights@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Actually, hedonism was invented by a Greek philosopher who was rare among his contemporaries for allowing women and slaves to study at his school as equals. He believed a life of simple pleasures in moderation was the key to happiness. He spent all day gardening and discussing philosophy, and then had a glass of wine and (CW: carnism) cheese before bed. He was also an empiricist who believed the world was made of atoms, and he taught that fear of death was the cause of a great deal of human suffering. He believed people should act with kindness in order to ease their own conscience, instead of doing it because they're scared of divine punishment.

Hedonism is antifascist.
