"Current year" terms that piss you off

"False equivalency" or "bothsidesism". Anyone who uses those terms is admitting that they're a self-righteous fart-huffer whose brain is incapable of processing the concept that they're wrong. Leftists hate being held to their own standards, why is why their goalposts are on wheels.
 
Doesn’t quite piss me off as much as it gives me a bad visceral reaction, but girldick. The context in which it’s used always mixes cutesy speak with sexual subjects and anyone who uses it to describe his own junk is a gender bending fetishist, guaranteed. It’s unsettling, and also very telling that they choose to call it a girldick rather than womandick.
 
POC. People/person of color is such retarded term outside of the context of demographics of America. That's literally fucking 80-90% of human population & the part of human population that doesn't show any signs of slowing down overpopulating this ass planet. It is actually mind boggling how eagerly people act like being pee oh cee makes them beyond special when for outsider of the western world it mostly translates into "I'm really fucking bad at conceptualizing world outside America".

Same goes for other retarded forms of it like WOC and shit.

I find it hilarious people are so smug about it as if being pee oh cee makes them beyond special when for outsider it translates into "I'm really fucking bad at conceptualizing world outside America".

Same goes for other retarded forms of it like WOC and shit. People can't be like "hi I am Becky and I am black/asian" but it has to be "I AM WOMAN OF COLOR (SO IM KIND OF BIG DEAL IN THOSE WESTERN WHITE PEOPLE COUNTRIES)".

It's not just an American thing, it's certainly used all of the time here in Canada too (and I imagine in western Europe and Australia too to varying degrees). To add on to your post, the term 'minority' kind of bugs me in a couple of ways. The first, is that from what I can tell for America, it pretty much always is referring to blacks. Is there a new push to hire/include minorities? It really just seems to mean blacks. If you live in a city that is 40% Latino, 30% white and 30% black: it's the Latinos and blacks who are the minorities somehow just because America is still, as a whole, majority white. It's the same thing here in Canada except replace blacks and Latinos with various Asian groups. Also women somehow are considered to be in the minority group despite them being in the majority.

I'd be very interested to see a study done on people (of all races) in the US and Canada where they were simply asked what percentage of the population of the planet is white. I feel like the average person is under the impression that it's like 20% or more when the reality is that it's only around 7% and dropping literally every minute.
 
Antifags and the like referring to people as "bodies". It does not sit well with me and some guy in the riots thread hit the nail on why I felt it was such a weird word to use.
Vaclav dijo:
"Bodies" comes from the writings of Michel Foucault, a French postmodern scholar. Along with Jacques Derrida, his work created some of the foundation for critical theory.

A lot of his work was focused on power, the use of power, unequal power relationships, etc. He would write about different "bodies," both the human body and metaphorical bodies. Like he'd write about "the power of the state impressed on the body" and later talk about the "growth of the body politic."

The postmodern critical theory scholars inspired by Foucault took up his terminology cargo cult style. They couldn't grasp his metaphorical style well enough to truly use it themselves, and instead just started sprinkling "bodies" throughout their papers.

Over time, the use of "bodies" in academic writing has evolved into referring to people as "bodies" in speech, which has taken on a purpose of its own separate from the Foucault fandom. Religious leaders find that people will more readily die for them if they teach them to view their bodies as "containers" or "vessels" which they will discard as their souls rise to heaven. The use of "bodies" seems to mirror this. It also makes it easier to abuse people in the way of the group's goals. That old lady defending her store isn't a person, she's an "oppressive white body" whose presence endangers black bodies.

The first time I ever saw POC/variants of it used in Australia was several years ago when the lady who started the I’ll Ride With You movement (basically rich white kids protecting minorities from racist comments on public transport, it felt very virtue signally and was particularly aimed at Muslims in hijab) was outed as hating white people and made a blog post where she calls herself a “queer woman of colour” and talks about how hard she has it in this horrible racist country - she’s half Chinese I think.
 
“New normal.” “In these unprecedented times.” Essentially any brainless corporate boilerplate that comes on tv.

The one I really hate is "Due to CoVID-19." We all fucking understand why we're being forced to cover our faces.

Similar to that for me is when they talk about something concerning the protests/riots going on and say "Due to protests over the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died during an incident with a white police officer." Holy fuck, everyone knows what happened. Everyone knows that's why they're protesting. No one would know of this man's existence if he had died in a routine car accident or something. There are uncontacted tribes in the Amazon rain forest who know about this by now.
 
round robin dijo:
Anyone using "basic human decency" as an argument. Just like "common sense gun laws," it is vague leftist newspeak moralfaggotry that is thrown out anytime a reasonable argument can't be made (so always).

"It's called being a decent human being."
I have a feeling people who say this aren't as decent as they think they are.
 
Nothing SJW, but I've been noticing people trying to bring "hella" back. "Dude! It's hella hot out here!" "I hella want a beer right now!"

It still sounds just as retarded as it did back in the day. Please stop.

Not really terms, but things that chap my ass on social media:
- People inserting the clap emoji in - between - every - single - word.
- Repeating statements to try and make a point. Repeating statements to try and make a point. Repeating statements to try and make a point. Doubly irritating when paired with the clap emoji.
- As mentioned in the "things that that personally piss you off" thread: people who use like twelve "face with tears of joy" emoji, especially when it's discussing something like personal stories or child abuse, etc. Fuck the vast majority of Facebook.
- The very idea of trying to get MAP to be socially acceptable.

Shit that grinds my gears is any sort of euphemism for really awful stuff that’s been “sanitized”, that is, protest instead of riot

yoshitsune dijo:
kids try to "guess" what the feminine version of masculine nouns such as soldier, wise man, butcher, truck driver, statesman etc. is. Their hypothesis was that since our society is so systematically sexist that kids won't know how to make feminine nouns out of the masculine version of them because there's very few women working those jobs or having such positions

Whoever thought that up probably wasn’t a native speaker of your language lmao
