    Objectively no reason for that apology.

    They need to apologize for apologizing.

    Whatever dipshits demanded they apologize need to apologize for making the internet a worse place.

        I don’t think “thicc” is AAVE. That is pretty much an Internet-ism as the original post says. “OH LAWD” though, yeah, is cringe.

            African-American Vocabulary English. Some people think it’s racist for white people to use them because cultural appropriation, which is a term that never should’ve left the academic circles it originated from, as people are using it way too broadly, and as something evil and bad.

    I’ve begun assuming any culture war rage bait bullshit is just Russian troll farms or their copycats. They poisoned the well on purpose, so I’ve decided to let them drink it instead. It isn’t always going to be accurate, but it’s great for my mental health.

    I laughed and accept that most humor offends someone. I’m sure the offended would get a laugh out of something that I wouldn’t like so I don’t care if they are offended now.

    somehow find it hard to believe they were really offended. it is just another form of satisfying the “being right on the internet” addiction.

    what they don’t realize is there is always someone “holier than thou”. you can for instance easily take “comparing Black women to animals” and give it a completely pointless animal rights twist (its not the animal rights that is pointless it is the twist, saying in case someone tries to cancel me) and ask this person to apologise. it is an endless game.
