Modern stuff I don't understand

Along with woke and terfy; "body shaming"

Surely pointing out to a morbidly obese person that they are risking their health is not body shaming?

Are you pointing out constructively, as a health professional, that someone is putting their health at risk, or are you just calling someone a fat fucker? There’s a difference.

I'm sure your input was really appreciated. I'd rather be fat than a cunt.

I thought from the thread title that it would contain the sort of conversations you need to have with elderly relatives explaining why they can’t use certain words anymore.

One thing that is boiling my piss though is that there seems to be an acronym for pretty much any group of people who need to band together in one way or another. In the last few days I’ve seen a few reviews where I’ve had to stop, google the term and come back, but the authors just assume we’ll know what incels are or why it’s bad that Dr Who is mean to “bames”. Just fucking explain an acronym the first time you use it please.
Cheers,

Mike.

It’s trying to keep up that’s trying...

BAME is now offensive (apparently) as it groups together folks who, obviously, have their own individual identity, cultures etc.

They’re not just ‘different from us’ (tm) etc.

Corden is right. Fat shaming is bad.

Cunt shaming is fine, though, and Corden is a complete cunt.

Yes, being shitty to people and telling people they’re being shitty to people is exactly the same thing.

You got me.
