Both of these removals are tacit endorsement of ableism and racism and this mod should be removed.

Nice post. Once the emoji bug is fixed, you'd be getting the gold star above the spoiler.

It really is odd to defend such a toothless phrase. It just alienates people who are neurodivergent/disabled or know people who are who would get slurred with it. And it's not like the liberals would actually be insulted by it. What's the point of using it, outside of feeling like you're 13 again.
I'll perhaps acknowledge there's an ironic use (i.e. sometimes Hasan will use it when ironically saying what a conservative would), but even that makes me cringe.
The chapo podcast quit using it, so if they work to stop, I don't see why posters can't.

Yeah Hasan sucks too. Does he suck less than most streamers like V**sh or D****ny? Sure. But that is a very low bar to clear.
Hasan just sucks for far different reasons. Vaush is actively aggressive towards leftist people of color. Maybe I just haven't seen enough cause I don't watch react streamers, but Hasan just seems a bit out of touch because of his money. As far as streamers go, I think he receives far more hate than is warranted.
my biggest issue with him is that he's willing to drop slurs. he's a bit on the lib side with the electoralism but like that's not a huge deal -- having a streamer explaining Marxism is just plain a good thing. but he needs to do some self-crit on the slurs.
oh I forgot about that
Ah that makes sense. Like I said, I don't watch him so I didn't know about the slurs. Yeah he's pretty much the only mainstream streamer who actually understands being a leftist.
