Worst of Social Justice

[Barbarella]

I want to eat turkey, steak, chicken and pork in front of this person, just to see what their reaction would be.

Just go A Clockwork Orange on their arse; strap them to a chair, force open their eyes...and let them watch every episode of Epic Meal Time ever, even the dessert ones.

Perhaps 24 hours of The Food Network.

But won't that be counterproductive? Wasn't the Ludovico Treatment about aversion?

Perhaps, but the point isn't to be productive, its just to have fun at their expense.  After it stops being fun, I stop watching and only come back after their minds have been shattered beyond all repair.  Madness is freedom.

QFT. See the ending of "Brazil" to bear this out!

Two months ago, I lashed out at the use of "retard(ed)" as an extremely offensive slur that's tossed around too much, especially on this site. There's another word I see around the Internet that gets on my nerves, and no one seems to get how bad that word can be.

 

The word "butthurt."

 

I've heard this word so much over the past several years, and I always find myself very uncomfortable whenever this word is used.

1. It's used with no other method than to act smug or demean someone. It's derogatory and is used with no other means other than to dismiss criticism or to mock/insult someone to the core as overly sensitive.

2.  The main reason I loathe it: "Butthurt" comes across as extremely homophobic and making fun of rape victims. Back when I first saw this word, I thought it meant the user was mocking him or her for being sodomized, and I immediately grew an extremely gigantic hatred for that word, something I still hold despite knowing what it means now. I researched to see if others felt this same impression, and I noticed quite a few who thought so. Because of these vibes, I've always found myself to be extremely discomforting (and sometimes very insulted) whenever the term is used (and have lately tended to scold people who use it and suggust synonyms instead [like upset, angry, unhappy]).

"butthurt" is derogatory and offensive, and using it doesn't make you look cool. It makes you look smug, disrespectful, and stupid, and you're inviting major criticisms of your integrity, intellect, and sensitivity. Don't use it.

So you're getting butthurt over the word butthurt. lol.

-butthurt-

So you're getting butthurt over the word butthurt. lol.

[solar.]

Hahaha, thanks for that.

I always thought it implied hemorrhoids, not rape. Plus, it just means mad over something trivial. You can't compare it to "gay" or even "retarded."

[Ghoti]

I always thought it was a reference to how mad a little kid gets after s/he's been spanked.

Hm, that's also a distinct possibility.

How come nobody complained when people referred to Twilicorn as "they raped her?" I was very offended over that, because that actually is pretty fucking offensive to rape and abuse victims. Yet "butthurt" is what causes people to rage.

Because 'butthurt' is, as best pony would put it, "Saddlesore"... to literally be... well, having a sore ass.  So, yeah, pones are stupid sometimes.  We did our fair share of smacking them down around the internet.

I'm apparently one of the few people who experiences a literal "butthurt".  As in, some muscle in my ass tenses and hurts whenever I see something like an open wound or something that looks like it would hurt worse than hell.

Even if they DON'T actually hurt like hell.

This has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I saw a post on Tumblr that claimed that Tumblr is a safe space for nerds and "the disadvantaged", and that sports and football "are not welcome" and "either get into a fandom or get out."

Irony - because grouping together and telling someone their interest is not wanted here is totally not reminiscent of the 80's Teen Movie Student Athlete Antagonist at all.

Please don't tell me to "eat shit and die". That erases scat fetishists.

What.

True story: I've been trying to come up with a suitable "butthurt" pun for the various butt exercises I've been doing lately.

Cus the pony fandom is full of dudebros.

You've been working out so much that you're 'exer-sore'?
