"Current year" terms that piss you off

[PT 940]

"Becky" and "Karen" for white women who dare to not agree with you. Not exactly insulting, but tiresome to see over and over again.

It's weird to me how these names are supposed to be offensive (but like you said they are more annoying than anything) but if someone ever called a woman "Aunt Jemima" they would be labeled a racist.

You know that trend where people combined a word followed by the word “tard.”
Ex:
Trumptard
Nintard
Republitard
Antitard
Libtard (I’m okay with this one only because it’s a meme, and most people use it ironically.)

It only irritates me when people use it seriously, and un-ironically.

"tard" is for people too pussy to add "nigger" to a word

When people describe movies or music as being "old" after they've been out for around two months, which corresponds with my annoyance of people who can only consume new media and think anything that isn't brand new is worthless.

I tend to avoid these types, even five years ago feels too fresh to me.

Also, people who talk about getting new shoes then going back to the shoe store in a week and switching out those shoes for a brand new kind of the exact same pair (not an "exchange" but literal stealing)

Real fuckers here.

"People of color" weirds me out. It divides the world into "white" and "not white," which seems like such a dehumanizing way to define yourself: it's not that you're Jamaican or Puerto Rican or Thai or Inuit or friggin' Martian, it's that you're not white. It commits that most Current Year of sins--erasure.

Thank you!

Speaking of which, "erasure." You run head-first into this all the time in discussions of history. It's not erasure to focus on certain groups or figures in a given historical period; those are often the only ones we have definitive data for! We can theorize about how transgender lesbian WoC lived under the reign of Psamtik I, but we can't know, because a vanishingly rare subculture in ancient times definitely wouldn't have been recorded if they existed within the mass of the faceless illiterate peasantry.

People forget we really didn't live what they assume we did back then.

"Becky" and "Karen" for white women who dare to not agree with you. Not exactly insulting, but tiresome to see over and over again.

I bet.

“White man” as used by the far-left - to them, there is no worse insult than “white man”.

I'm sure this is their favorite comic!

I figure that must come from a perception of movies being "old" when they've left theaters and are being released on DVD

That notion really doesn't work anymore, now that streaming is popular and good new movies are very few and far between. And especially with music, when you have access to just like, every song.

Feeling myself
It just sounds so self-centered and exceptional. It’s made even worse because it’s usually said as a caption to some very staged glamour shot. I view it as something that came out of the whole “self care” movement, which is usually just an excuse for overindulgence.

"social distancing"

Apparently it's shorthand for "simpleton", now it's used for white knighting a chick. Who even comes up with this stuff?

I've always wondered how terms like those hit the mainstream too. You just wake up one morning and suddenly guys who throw money at camwhores are called "simps" now and everyone everywhere's using that term

They were called paypigs just like a month ago

I prefer that term better. Simp is being used in regular conversation now. It's ear grating.
