Sometimes I just get mad out of thin air by remembering AAVE discourse. Such an obvious and pointless exercise in spreading misery. "Hey, you know how people learn new words through repeated exposure? Yeah that's bad now. Racist even. Hope this helps."

A crucial aspect that is not being mentioned is that these phrases only enter the lexicon of non black people from active attempts to imitate black people (that’s where the racism comes in), doing it poorly and then getting the incorrect versions immortalised as “teen lingo”

Except the entire issue is the fact that people who are definitely NOT IN AT ALL and have negative black friends are doing it and that how the language gets so heavily distorted.

Not to be mean but if you have ask these questions, I don’t think you actually paid any attention to what black people are saying when you see the AAVE discourse and it set you off in a completely unpredictable and frankly unnecessary way - like black teens are the ones leading the discourse for one

for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the “question only a human can answer” which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SINGLE TUMBLR USER'S OC BUT ITS AN ACTUAL GAME AND I WAS JUST SEEING MULTIPLE PEOPLE'S FANARTS????????

People make a lot of good "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" posts about like school bullies or homework or puberty. But actually my #1 top of the "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" list is the fact that I can leave the event when I want to.
