I wonder if they're actually shocked or sexually aroused when that word is uttered.
They're shocked. It's ingrained in them that saying "nigger" is like saying "Avada kedavra" from Harry Potter; saying it will insta-kill the closest melanin rich individual.
 
"Silence is violence" because empty words and virtue signalling on social media are more important than actions and actually doing something!
 
“Diverse” and “inclusive”

if I said it before, then it’s my mistake, but using these words in the wrong context and not realizing that these words are supposed to mean different forms of opinions and engaging in organic thought is a problem that many really seem to face.

it also doesn’t help that most people are only using it as a shield to cower themselves away from white people, while embarrassingly propping up black people as if they’re our moral betters.

they‘d never do this to the likes of Asians, Pacific Islanders or any others that have a small population size compared to groups mentioned above.
 
People who overuse ellipses
I will admit I am guilty of this.. It can be a hard habit to break!

Back on topic, this may be an unpopular opinion but since this list is subjective, I’ll post it anyway. But what is up with the electric boogaloo thing? Maybe I just don’t get it but it seems to pop up everywhere. Im sure it was funny or clever the first time it was used but now it’s just repeated ad nauseam and causes me to roll my eyes whenever I see it.

That's been a term for any bad sequel for some time. It comes from the title of a notoriously bad breakdancing film from the 80's called Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Then on 4chan's /k/ (weapons) board, people started using it as shorthand for a hypothetical "Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo". Then boomers and normies picked it up, and it all went to hell.
 
Ahh, thanks for the explanation kind kiwi! I assume this is one of those movies that everyone has seen but me and I’ve just been completely OOTL this entire time. Or else the boomers/normies are just repeating it without knowing what the hell it really means either.
 
This is why the nigger word is my favorite power word, use it and everyone goes feral, eapecially the white women

Watching goodwhites lose their shit at the mere hint of this word, ought to be worth credit towards a psychiatry residency.

Even the way they so frantically try to dance around the mere potential mention of the word out loud, is a case study alone. "She might have tweeted 'the N-Word with the 'hard R' " , and so forth.

We meme autism, but this shit is is societal OCD.

They're like that poor bastard who can't bring himself to say the word "chair" out loud without clapping twice and mumbling, "Lemon!" under his breath immediately afterward-- otherwise his car might somehow catch fire and blow itself into a ditch on a Tuesday soon. He figures if he just refers to that piece of furniture as either "the settee" or "The CH-word", he's good.

I also get cancer whenever I hear this.

Here are a few internet words/phrases which have gained extra currency in recent years, and rarely fail to piss me off: 'hot take,' 'zoomer,' 'clutch,' 'fire,' 'this.' et al.

Fact checker. Journalists have become heavily discredited and now we have a class of "fact checkers" who some treat as infallible.
 
I'm 100% certain somebody has said this already, but everytime I see 'read the room' I just fucking sigh. The only people who use the phrase 'read the room' are twelve year olds on twitter.
 
The suffix ”adjacent”.

It means ”we want to smear him as a Nazi but we don't have the ”evidence” to do that so we're going to use an incredibly mealy mouthed way of doing that to stop us being sued”
 
"Our Democracy", especially when uttered by people after they spent four entire years burning every single bridge they've made in life by being absolutely insufferable to everyone they don't align with politically.

Also, fuck democracy. Ironically, the people who use the phrase don't believe in democracy either.
 
I've grown to really hate slashes, hyphens, and periods in tweets thanks to Twitter. It's always used in the conjunction of shit like this:
tw// sexism, transphobia, grooming

What is it even trying to prevent? That people don't see it when scrolling down? Wouldn't they not even see the post at all???

Which brings me to my next point: What even is a "trigger" anymore? I've seen the word thrown around so much that I don't even know what said topic "triggers"; does it trigger anger? Fear? "Dissociation"? I've seen someone sperg about "dissociating" because some MYCT stan didn't tag their gross guro porn or whatever.

The question that isn't being asked enough is "who fact-checks the Fact-Checkers™️?"

It's gotten to the point that I go into an autistic rage at even legitimate "trigger warnings" for things like a very graphic depiction of a rape or something like that. I can respect someone not wanting to have a fucking ptsd episode (brings up memories of an anecdotal story I read in sixth grade but didn't actually understand until I was older, it was about how a 12 year old boy didn't understand why his father would suddenly cower and start crying in terror if a large can so much as hit the floor at the store (then when I was older and reflected on it I realized the dad had served in Vietnam and had untreated PTSD because the VA has always been shit), but also any therapist worth their salt would say trigger warnings are garbage since the only way you learn to cope with what happened is through controlled exposure until it doesn't have any power over you anymore. Just goes hand in hand with my infantilized generation.
