I realize you’re a newlywed and all, I just think the kind of guy she was criticizing fall well within your empathic domain.
Yeah I'm among the subset of people who can relate to a certain antipathy for the cooler than thou cliques in school. How about you, jon?

Bump for jon. Since we've established a location encompassed by my empathic domain, I wonder if your idea of your own domain intersects at that point.

I can be very empathic, but sometimes it takes effort.

I can't tell. Is this an argument?
If you two are going to insult each other, at least bring it down to my level, so I (we) can follow along and keep track of who's winning.
Even your arguments are stuffy. Geesh, dumb it down a bit, OK? And use some fight'n words or something. Small words, two syllables max.Ax, step in here would 'ya bud??

I can empathize with the holders of antipathy too.

Small words, two syllables max.I made what is for me a standard deconstruction of an insult from a woke white person, but since the woke white person was in this case a pretty young girl, jon jumped to the conclusion that I hated her because she reminded me of girls who wouldn't have sex with me.

You didn’t deconstruct her insult, you just insulted her with a woke racial epithet. I was deconstructing your insult, which I actually found surprising.

You didn't, and apparently don't, understand the irony of using an insult of a person's own invention against them. It doesn't have to be made in earnest, it only has to fit with the definitions they invented for it.

Wait, wait, are you now pretending it wasn’t made in earnest?

No.
What it most resembles is two one-legged men who, in a moment of madness, have decided to enter an ass-kicking contest.

I earnestly think she is a different flavor of a Karen by the definitions in use currently, yes. That doesn't mean that I love the insult. I may love turning it around on the people who love using it.

This is my favorite post in this thread:
Nothing correlates with wokeness more than privilege. So when woke people talk of Karens, they are talking of another slightly different version of themselves. What is wokeness if not a cultural cop named Karen?
I can't even imagine the depth of cultural insights I'd have if I had two legs.

It was a good post, though diluted somewhat by the fact that the ‘woke person talking of Karens’ was you.

My classification of her as a Karen was elegant and on point, while your classification of me as 'woke' is pure kludge.

Obviously I wasn’t literally calling you woke. But you were criticizing woke usage of Karen in a thread where the only such user of the term was yourself.

I'm allowed to reference stuff other than what is written in a thread. You are too, making fun of incels and my empathic proximity to them and all that.
