'Code of Conduct' and 'Community Guidelines' just mean, "Anything we don't like" at this point. I made the mistake of trying to participate on a fairly busy Reddit board today, and about fully half of the posts made to it were deleted by the mods within half an hour of posting, and the accounts banned along with them. I examined these disappearing posts carefully over the course of a number of hours I think about one didn't meet the posted guidelines, all the rest were perfectly fine. What ended up disappearing I suspect either just disinterested the mods or made males/troons/gender special teenagers terrorising their parents, look like shits.

This was a board where people presented the problem in their life and asked for other people's take on it/advice. A lot of posters said that they didn't know who else to turn to, which made the mods deleting anything they simply disliked a particularly shitty move.

I second that. These types love dancing around the actual meaning of their words. Honestly, at this point, I doubt people will give a shit if they be upfront with their bullshit. "Yeah, we don't want you to speak 'cause my fee-fees gonna get hurt" is what this amounts to 99% of the time.

Deplorables was great because Hillary thought this would really offend people. Instead, people embraced it because it's not an offensive thing to be called. It sounds like something an old, out of touch, elitist cunt would use. Nobody uses the term "deplorable" in everyday speech. It's like saying something is "preposterous". It's old fashioned and weak. It's the least offensive thing you could be called and it enrages them that people embraced it.

Now the shit that we call them: groomer, boomer, nasty pedophile. These words DO hurt them which is why they make such an effort to try and ban them from social media. Except for boomer, it would be kind of hard to argue for banning that, but I can see them trying. Calling it "ageist" or something. If the shoe fits.... These old lefty boomer faggots ruined everything.

I've never heard any of these in real life. Normal people don't know what Gamergate or Pizzagate is. They don't know wtf "chans" are, even people in that age group. They're too busy playing sports, hanging out with their friends and their girlfriends/boyfriends. Nobody says MGTOW or knows wtf that is either. This is all "internet speak". It's shit nerds say on the internet.

Broflake is so silly, people on the internet don't even say this. Pure made up nonsense.

It's like Urban Dictionary type stuff. I'm pretty sure 90% of Urban Dictionary is just trolling.

Deplorables is just Hillary showing her age. My grandmother used that term and she was born in the 20s. So as an insult it goes back at least a century. That should tell you how relevant it is today.
 
Internalised x.

Gay man who hates Pride month? He must have internalised homophobia.
Tranny who doesn't want to socialise with other trannies? Internalised transphobia.
Fatty who wants to lose weight because they don't like their appearance? Internalised fatphobia.
Woman who thinks women who wear a lot of make up look bad? Internalised misogyny.

It's a dickhead phrase because it's insinuating that they hate themselves and don't have the awareness to realise it, when really it's down to the simple fact that individuals like/dislike certain things. It's used as a weapon to make people doubt their own values, by people who can not cope with others having a different view than theirs.

Bonus other terms which make me grind my teeth: valid, do better, its not my job to educate you, y'all, problematic, any gender sped terms that sound like baby language such as egg/enbie/smol, pansexual (woke for bisexual), and queer (that term never gets any less annoying). Any Tumblr over reactions like I'M SCREAMING and any obnoxious drag queen lingo like YAS QUEEN SLAY.
 
"My truth". It's such a self-serving, bullshit sentiment because it's entirely subjective. Your "truth" can be whatever you want it to be.

I've only started seeing it in the last few months, but "Peep/peeped" annoys me. An example of how it's used is: "Just peeped the latest CoD trailer."

It's nigger dialect that dates back to at least the mid 80s, for example at about 1:09 in La-Di-Da-Di Slick Rick says "You know what? Yo, peep this.":
It's part of a strange trend that odd pieces of nigger dialect will start being used by people online by people who have no idea where it comes from (i.e. differently from how wiggers use it by emulating their favourite rappers). For example, saying an album is "dropping" instead of "coming out", using "OG" instead of "original" (not understanding that the G stands for gangster).
 
I've commented here before but i'm back to say that tone indicators still piss me off. They're purely a result of cringe twitter/tiktok culture , and i hate how mentally ill 15yo's demand everyone use them (just like their neopronouns)

I want to pass a law that people will be required to have been born in the South or identify as black to use this word. On the other hand, it's really fun to accuse this kind of person of verbal blackface.

God I fucking hate people who type out "y'all" and its variations. I won't talk about people who say it out loud, but people who type it deserve to be fucking shot. No Southerner types like because those hicks are practically illiterate, and can't type a contraction without having a brain aneurysm, which leaves niggers and nigger-wannabes, both of which are absolutely insufferable in their own ways. No, Dayquan, just because you type things like "y'all" doesn't mean you're special, you're just being a fucking attention-seeking nigger with your ebonics, and nobody in their right mind cares about how "you wuz kangz an sheeeeit". And as for you fucking soyboy faggot fucks typing "y'all" everywhere trying to larp as fucking niggers so you can show Tyrone because you want him to let you prep him for your wife, you're not a nigger, you will never be a nigger, and you should just kill yourself, and spare the rest of us your cucked opinons because nobody cares what you think whether or not you use fake ebonics for your nigger cred.

I hate the way the word "exist" is used now. As in, "I'm just a trans person trying to exist" or, "Fascists are literally trying to take away our existence because we're queer". It seems to always be in relation to people of gender in some way and how evil bigots want them to die or force them back into the closet.

"[thing] x [other thing]"
what does it mean? where did it come from? when will it fuck off and die?
for some irrational reason it really rubs me up the wrong way

also: the use of "re-look-at" when the word "review" already exists
similarly, I've been tempted to used the term "boughted" instead of "purchased" (e.g. calling a purchase order a "boughteding order"), in order to determine the maximum acceptable level of linguistic retardation in the workplace

You mean like in pairings? SephirothxColonel Sanders (yes I've seen it and cannot unsee it).

I've seen "boughten" as well as "boughted". Some kids in elementary school used it. Eventually through you realise it's not a word and learn to correct yourself before it becomes a bad habit. I guess now people are too dumb to know better. It screams white trash and hoodrat. But guess that's chic now.*sigh*

You have to use trigger warnings lest you give some random kid nightmares by saying “kill”
Edit: I just realized I confused trigger warnings with tone tags, but I hate them both for the same reason, that being that I’m not a pussy

It’s like a baby lacking object permanence, but in reverse. If no one’s paying attention to them, they don’t exist
