I just saw an acquaintance use "👖🛝" in place of the word genocide and. like. at what point are we going to decide that this kind of self-censorship is too degrading to abide anymore.

"grape" "sui-slide" "the panini" I feel like I'm surrounded by Rugrats who overheard the grown ups talking about the news.

This is mean, but when I’m in a safe context to do so, I love pretending I don’t understand what they mean and forcing them to explain in plain language.

It's not mean. You are so normal. If someone uses these terms when speaking to me directly I'm going to end up on the news.

My friend at work just got promoted to a supervisor of an adjacent department. The other day she comes in with this look of utter exhaustion on her face and says "I had to write an official email about an employee who decided to start an argument about what constitutes as 'grape'." This 30 something man decided to come into work and start an argument with his coworker on how far he should be allowed to go before it's considered assault. And he verbally censored himself. With the name of a fruit. That's where we're at people.

As a CSA survivor if you refer to what was done to me as “grape” Im assuming you don’t actually give a shit about survivors. If you’re more concerned with self censoring than accurately and openly having discussions about it, you do not care. It’s an abhorrent crime, I promise you saying the word rape is nowhere near as bad as being the victim. Stop trivialising our experiences because YOU’RE uncomfortable.

Funniest thing is, other people's comments disagreeing for this creator's media illiteracy got to stay, but I was IMMEDIATELY unable to comment because I IMPLIED that I knew what we were dealing with. 🤣😭

People talk shit about Troi's position but frankly I would want at least one person trained in some sort of mental healthcare on a deep space vessel. That crew gets traumatized on the weekly and you think a counsellor isn't a necessity???
