    Language is a tool for communication. It requires interpretation. The meme uses language to try to get a point across, and adds illustrations to further enhance understanding. I’m sorry that the imprecise language made you unable to comprehend the point of the post, but it seemed pretty clear to me.

    Discuss the ideas communicated or go off and sulk because you can’t comprehend, but all this whining about the language is beyond stupid. If you don’t wanna talk about beauty standards you can quietly excuse yourself. This adds less than nothing to the conversation.

      A hammer is a tool for putting nails into things, if you hammer your finger with it instead, you’re doing it wrong.

      Every person in this thread who objects to the use of the word is proof on its face that this person has at least nicked their finger on the way down.

        More crying over a word. Wow, interesting dialogue we’re having instead of talking about society we get to hear you whine about a word. Good talk lemmy, real fun.
