Other than its overuse, I don't have a problem with this. I think "[Thing]-adjacent" just sounds higher brow to a lot of people though; something that could be used as a punchline by someone who engaged in the type of political-comedic humour that dominated the 2000s where using vernacular that was just a little more intellectual than average was almost a point of pride.
It just flows better when describing a subject in the general vicinity of an idea, but not rigidly adherent to it.

You can still see it in insanely popular prokopetz on tumblr.
 
"We need to talk about ['social justice' BS issue #9001]."

First, that "we need to talk about" sounds so soy. And second, no "we" do not. SJWs have made up enough things that are "problematic".
That "we" is such a smarmy little insert, because what they mean is "We need to talk only with others who agree with everything we say, because we love to jerk each other off."

Thread tax: "I didn't have X on my bingo card for (insert year)". It's almost as if you can't always predict events before they happen, Youtube comment thread faggots.
 
-"Cunty".
Does this really need an explanation.

-Porn this, porn that. Food porn, cloud porn, sunset porn, interior design porn...
Just stop it.

-"That's so gender/that's my gender/gender goals"
Usually it's a teenage girl or a young woman saying this and the man she is referring to is just some guy with short hair wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Like you know you are allowed to cut your hair short and wear clothes like that, right? Right??

-Replies to any question online that start with "Hello, [profession] here!"
I don't even know why this grinds my gears so much, but it just does.


Yeah maybe I am just MATI a lot because these were just a few off the top of my head.

Also the "we" means creating an artificial group. You're just you. You're not "we." Fuck you. You're just some faggot, you don't get to use "we" and claim the rest of us are some kind of group. You're just some stupid fucking jackass, you are not "we."
 
I'm not familiar with the specific organization or their execution of this, but I'm struggling to see what's inherently wrong with it.
In theory it's broad-mindedness and curiosity. In practice it's kowtowing, gatekeeping, and humiliation.

The 'other ways of knowing' stuff is usually a 24/7 grift bullshit mill with some blood and soil 'you jus don't get it whitey cuz mutha eart h8s you' thrown in. It's never anything interesting like 'we revived our old language and our word for hemlock is 'onesipbabebegone twosipyoubegone' or a legend that an island will sink one day leading to a discovery that it's on a mega-thrust prone fault.

You're also not allowed to permit that sometimes 'other ways of knowing' is just 'other ways of being full of shit.' The Other Knowledge is always superior to yours, and because it's an 'other way of knowing' you are verboten from putting it to any kind of analytical test. This makes it a kind of anti-knowledge instead, a dogma masked as open-mindedness. That wouldn't be so bad if it was something sacred or unfathomable and they were just protecting it, but the reality is they're perverting the shit out of it themselves and just doing typical office politics to exclude you from a piece of the pie.

It's like when I hear we should learn more from the natives about stewarding the land and its animals when I know, from personal experience, that they rape mother earth with such wild impunity it would put a 19th Century logger to shame.

Tax:

I don't like the skulls they add at the end of useless comments. It's very jeet coded. Reminds me of those shitty Pakistani tik-toks where they add emojis all over the video and use meme audio like that weird squirrel laugh.

It always came across to me as a condescending "I'm better than you and I need to BS you" sort of way.

"One-shotted"
before Current Year: "Dude, your Gyarados is gonna get one-shotted by that Electabuzz."

during Current Year: "The patriarchy is one-shotted with diversity."?
 
I wish that I could talk about munchies more. I know we have a munchie thread, but it’s in the beauty parlour where everyone makes armchair diagnoses of other fake disorders
Maybe make a thread in general, titled something like "Your interactions with munchies", wide-reaching but with a theme.

===
It is not a term, but long, pretentious philisophisings used as "memes". Stupid cunts think they are clever parroting these.

Never mind the actual munchies on the thread itself. "Speaking as someone who ACTUALLY HAS [list of diseases only munchies have]". . .
 
I'm late to mentioning this but for whatever fucking dumbass reason one of the newest adoptions of nigger parlance is saying "what up doe?" No, not "What's up?" or "What up though?" which are both something people already said but doe, purposely saying a word like a mushmouthed coon.

Google says it's "The Detroit equivalent of aloha" and originates from the 80s. Which means it's the nigger version of saying hello. I fucking hate it.
