I should keep a log of how many times these get used, but they’re so tired and fucked out it’s not even worth it.

Phrases we should stop using henceforth:

1. “20 year-old elf sim”

2. “Cuck”

3. “Pras”


We can do better. We can BE better. Let’s make 2020 the year we collectively said NO to using this game’s own brand of pre-teen millennial Tik Tok lingo.

Flame on!

In all fairness, ‘cuck’ helps identify alt-right bozos. While not definitive, it is at least an indicator. People like to throw it around here a lot, so it may just be more “edgy” than just regular alt-right nonsense.

I'm a Literature major and very anti-censorship: if you try and say a particular word (or books that use that word), should be banned, I'll be first in line to fight you.

But at the same time, words like "cuck", or using "gay" as a generic "bad" ... they're just lazy. It's like using the adjective "cool": yes you can use it in a whole lot of sentences, but should you?

There's almost certainly some other more descriptive adjective you could use instead of "cool" ... but it would take one micron more mental energy to use one of those words.

It's the same deal with "cuck", "fag", or "retard": it's never like you need, and there's no other word you could use instead which A) would be more descriptive, and B) wouldn't make some of your fellow humans feel hated for who they are ...

... but it would take a tiny bit more mental energy.

And you’re saying that’s a gap that NEEDED filling? I’ve never seen that word used in such a precision targeted way. On the contrary, it seems to be used carte blanche to describe nearly any person you deem unworthy or undesirable.
