If you seriously doubt that we landed on the moon and I know you IRL, I will immediately stop talking to you and consider your opinion on anything to be worthless.
eh... not really. The Russians would have done ANYTHING to prove we didn't go to the moon or lessen the impact of it, which would mean attacking both the actual mission and the coverage. They couldn't do either.
And if I do that, it's because I explain it the way I need things explained and taught to me sometimes. In excruciating detail so a 10 year old could understand.
Nope, simply stating that we already had a word for that. We didn't need another one, not when it is a divisive word that's also a fucking insult.
Weren't we trying to unify people under equality and not be insulting to each other?
Same holds true for "micro-aggression." We had a phrase for that too. It's called being a clueless insensitive asshole. We didn't need another one there and the original phrase was far more descriptive.
Ok, that's cool.
Point does still stand though, there likely are people that DO genuinely think like that.
We really don't need hip new PC language when there are adequate words in the language already.
