Bro must be 20 if they think 2017 was the year of alternating caps. It turns out, some sentiment is timeless. 😎 but yes, also, making fun of someone because they aren’t very practiced at their non-native language is xenophobia. are you familiar of the concept of “laughing with vs laughing without”?
But okay, let’s say it’s not xenophobic to target someone specifically for a cultural/language difference. It’s not xenophobia, it’s just being an asshole. And yeah, assholes deserve to be called out and dogged on.
So what’s your point? You just love assholes? Big anal guy?
Hey now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticising you, I love the energy.
I don’t think the user you replied to really meant any harm, though, I think they were just joking. A slightly problematic joke, to be sure, but not an uncommon one.
Hard to take your original comment being excited seriously because we are on lemmy and woke is just the norm here lmao. Hence why we are on a popular post about intersectionality!
And yeah also I don’t think they meant any harm. That’s why I just said “ok xenophobe” instead of like, reporting it and moving on. So they can be like “oh yeah. I guess I did say something problematic.”
Yeah I get it, and I was being a bit silly when I commented it - it’s just refreshing to see people arguing over low stakes stuff compared to… gestures broadly
WoKe Is BaCk
That’s right, it is! and apparently so is alternating caps! Welcome back, 2017!

Still, I support you.
