"Current year" terms that piss you off

The word problematic is soooo problematic. No, but in earnest, the manner in which "problematic" is now used is a truly atrocious corruption of the English language.
 
LGBTQ2+LMNOP Are people forgetting the fundamental purpose of an ACRONYM? I was watching some Netflix show and a teenage character said this and I wanted to shoot myself.

I'd just like to 'correct' myself and mention the actual term is LGBTQQIP2SAA (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, pansexual, 2-spirited, asexual, and allies.). Though my point still stands. WTF

Not specific to [the current year], but "partner" is the most sterile, HR-compliant way of referring to another person, and it sucks because it obscures the nature of the relationship. "Partner" can mean almost anything depending on the context, which is why HR likes it and it's terrible for actual human communication.

"[Shitlib scaralized group] folk/s." I don't know how this one spread, but the CDC needs to isolate and destroy it, with fire if necessary. Whenever you see someone talk about "queer folk/s" or "trans folk/s," you know there's going to be some exceptional shit on their TL. It has a very high incidence of overlap with the "I'm not here to educate you" self-righteousness, but even smarmier because of the condescending fake-folksy (fauxy?) demenor.
 
Not a particular phrase, but the co-opting of Black slang mannerisms by SJWs: y’all, woke, the hand clapping after every word. It reminds me of the old Paul Mooney bit from Chappelle’s Show: ‘Everybody wanna be a nigga, but nobody wanna be a nigga”. They’re ok acting like sassy black women while shitting on where they’re from.

Not really political but Stan like "we stan doing this shit". I don't even know what it means and I won't google it or ask people so I don't have to feel old.

"Died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide".

This completely erases the horrifying nature of suicide in that it's self-inflicted.

And when people use suicide as a verb. One of those retarded Australian youtubers that were faking their own deaths in order to promote their shitty giveaways and some quack chiropractor used it like 7 times in one video and it made me want to suicide.

I assume that the reason they keep adding to the acronym is because the amount of people that fit into those categories are much smaller than they let on. I mean to me, Transgender and Gay are two completely different things, but they got lumped in with everything else because, you know, strength in numbers.

"Demisexual", which is a term tumblr invented to describe people who don't want to have sex until they get to know the other person, which, of course, is the majority of the planet.

I had never heard that term before.

I think it gave me cancer.

AFAIK, Stan refers to the Eminem song
of the same name. It’s the hip hop/rap equivalent of a fanboy.

I recently saw a copy of USA Today IRL. It used the phrase "women of color" unironically. Before that I was unaware that Tumblr talk has become so prevalent -- even in old media.

Maybe living under a rock isin't so bad.

I've answered this elsewhere but I'll do it again: Demisexuality, no matter the term's origins, these days refers to having little or no sexual attraction to anything and in some cases no libido until and unless that person is with someone they're deeply connected to - from thereon they are only aroused by that person, and even non-sexual things they simply relate to the bonded person becomes sexually stimulating to them. It's like being asexual, except you can develop a love-induced fetish for an entire specific person... and nothing else does it for you.

So...it's just a preference that people want to pretend is a sexuality to make them feel special and be a part of the opressed LGBTQH&R Blocks?

Afaik it's to be more inclusive and so no one gets hurt feelings being left out. Though it's probably what you said too.
 
I'm surprised I haven't seen this one (although to be fair after around page 7 I started to just gloss over the posts):

"Start a Conversation,"

Fucker. It's called "talking." Is "talking" too scary a word now?

Actually, no, what it means 90% of the time is that the person wants to either have a bitchfit about something stuck in their craw or is hoping someone can set up the metaphorical stage so they can virtue signal some more. There is no "conversation," with "start a conversation" or "be part of the conversation;" it's just "agree with us or we'll make you life Hell."
 
Theybies.

Keeping a baby's sex secret during pregnancy is already a bit annoying for present buying in advance, but keeping it secret in the first 4 years is really autistic.
 
"Empower."

Bad enough when it rules nine out of ten thesis statements at your local university, but it seems like every time I see it these days, it's usually some girl on Twitter or Instagram posting a picture of her tits and making some rambling post about how having hundreds or thousands of likes on said Titty Pic makes her feel like she can take on the world. Which says a lot more about her than it says about the world.
