We are born against our will, made to suffer through a life we didn't ask for, seeking comfort in what brings us temporary joy, just to forget that eventually we will die.
Everything we do won't matter in a 100 years, the stars will forget us all.
So eat that snack you want.
@_DUCKBO_ Yeah okay that makes sense, I’ll be more weary about when and to whom I use the word around as to not offend anyone but I’m also a strong believer in turning word meaning around as not to perpetuate the inherent negativity it holds.
@_DUCKBO_ In that case I’m misinformed, I’ve actually never heard it in that connotation. I know that “tr*p” is often used in that sense but I’m only familiar with it within the gay community where it is used almost synonymously with twink. This is the definition I’m familiar with.
@_DUCKBO_ — to be offensive. Your heart really is in the right place and I appreciate the fact that you’re not afraid to speak up against what you believe may be offensive to someone or a group of people. It’s really admirable. Sorry again.
@_DUCKBO_ I’m really sorry, although I think you may be a bit misinformed. The word is meant to describe a cisgender man who does not conform to masculinity. I do understand that many intolerant people may intend it as a slur in the same vein as “queer”, but inherently it is not intended —
@obkatiekat Same feeling as being awoken and having npcs in the dreaming city call you “cousin”. I love the little touches that make our characters feel like they have a real presence.
@_DUCKBO_ oop... I keep pronouns in my bio so people know how to refer to me in conversation, but my race is left ambiguous (although very inferable) because of harassment reasons. Valid sentiment tho
@noah_dubbeld @_DUCKBO_ No problem and thanks to you for being so receptive. Things can go a lot smoother when people aren’t at each other’s throats for the entirety of an exchange. Have a good one :)
