Using "y'all" if you're not from the South. Ironically, the types that use this also tend to believe that "cultural appropriation" is bad and should be avoided.

I know a few other people commented about “y’all” but this comment specifically is spot on. I was born and raised in Georgia and moved to California for a few years in my early 20’s. This was about 10 years ago. Every time I opened my mouth, I got roasted for my accent, but especially when I said “y’all” which is something people here say from the time they can speak.

Now, the exact same people that thought it was cute to make jokes about inbreeding, low intelligence, poverty and every other southern stereotype STRAIGHT TO MY FACE are using “y’all” to talk down to other people about how THEY should treat others and what language THEY are allowed to use. I still follow some of them on social media and they’ve all become condescending, self important, smug fucks. They think it makes
them cool and morally superior to everyone else. .

Someone who has always lived on the west coast saying something like “y’all shouldn’t culturally appropriate” makes my blood pressure spike.

But to contribute to the thread:
“Garner sympathy”- I don’t know why, but I see this phrase all the time now and I just think it looks so stupid.
“Narrative”- most of the people that say this word don’t even know what it means. At least the ones on Twitter and Youtube that say it all the time.
“Ion”- people say this instead of “I don’t” and it looks so fucking illiterate and ignorant.

“Speak(ing) truth to power” is an annoying phrase that I only hear from internet activists. All it really means is writing long screeds on social media of how bad X is while listing off their identities (truths) as a way to “own” X. It’s another terrible phrase that I hear far too often and it’s usually attributed to those that don’t deserve it.
 
All the VirusShibboleths ("We're in this together" / "new normal" / "Stay safe" / "Wear a [EXPLETIVE] mask" / "social distancing" / "save lives" / "protect my health" / "second wave") make me beg God to pour out the seven vials* of wrath from the book of Revelation.

*or bowls, depending on your translation
 
"Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." There is no great virtue in making other people's lives worse. Also, in practice, the people who say this never spend any time comforting the afflicted.

I've never heard that phrase yet but it sounds horrifying.

Instead of helping everyone and trying to raise the very bottom bar higher, let's just tear everyone at the top down and reverse the positions of who is "privileged" and who is not. Sounds like such a compassionate plan, huh. Crab bucket mentality all the way for those people.
 
"Engage" in the sneaky, condescending way those people out there use it. "You're not ready to engage" -- lol.
 
“Stay Black!” is about as worse as yelling out “BLACK LIVES MATTER!” because you go from sounding like a virtue signaler pretending to be a victim, to now sounding like someone who’s own skin color is just a personality trait and nothing more.
 
Capitalizing any racial referent but White. You think that's cute? We can see you, idiots.
 
Anyone talking about "diversity", "inclusiveness", and "white privilege" are detached from reality and should be ignored.
 
Hate the rise of the word "latinx". Bring that to most places in central america and you will be laughed at.

"Trauma-informed, gender-affirming, anti-racist praxis"

I still have no idea what the fuck this is supposed to mean.

I've been wondering how long it'll be for the wokesphere to start cannibalizing itself over PoC because it's so similar to calling someone a colored person

Probably part of the reason they came up with BIPOC. It takes blacks and amerindians out of "people of color", and leaves it as a Schrodinger's box that other non-whites can be shuffled in and out of at their convenience.

Praxis - A word they heard somewhere. Don't tell them who invented it. It might mean performative, or Weltanschauung, or something smart. So they're smart because they say it! Fear them!
