To Mask or Not To Mask?

I can empathize with the holders of antipathy too.

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.

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.

[jon-nyc]

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.

[Horace]

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.

[jon-nyc]

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.

[jon-nyc]

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

[Horace]

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

[jon-nyc]

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.

Posters congratulating themselves on their favourite posts is a new highpoint

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.

Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour.

Technically you can only fuck it once.

Haha. If you wanna get very technical, you only have to offer it a good time.
