yeah you're right the guy who told me which words I shouldn't say definitely isn't trying to control my speech.
Chimps are actually quite intelligent, btw. Do better.
>> Please don't use ridiculous and painful slurs in a serious conversation.
"Please don't" is just a polite request, particularly when used by an anonymous and presumably powerless stranger on the internet. It's not an attempt to take control or use force. It's an attempt to get you to introspect. Don't be so sensitive :p
Yes, chimps are intelligent. Thank you for noticing.
At least you’re self-aware about this.
See ya around, bud.
Maybe just grow up and stop being a terminally online social justice warrior?
Just like your chimpanzee usage likely isn't meant as a slur, despite it being constantly used as one.
More importantly, the word, when used as an insult, uses real humans with real difficulties as the referent. Those people and their caregivers are the one’s that feel the insult. Whereas chimpanzee is an animal and remains unaware and unhurt when its species name is used as an insult. (My pseudonym is also not meant as a self-applied insult, most days.)
GPs usage doesn’t really matter to me though. It wasn’t an egregious thing to say. And, for me personally, the word has little value one way or another. It reminds me of grade school chatter.
I just find it comical that there’s a lack of self-awareness regarding the effect of its usage. But again, perhaps there was no lack of awareness at all and perhaps that was the real point.
Anyways, ta ta.
