    It’s blowing my mind how effective it is. Out of all the things to get offended by, that’s one of the last things I would have expected.

    I wonder how many of the people getting offended by being called “weird” are heavily closeted about something; and being called weird scares them because they think they’re being outed.

      I feel like for years, the whole “liberal outrage” meme has been a crutch for Republicans. And now a single word is causing these snowflakes to flip out? What beautiful karma.

      By liberal outrage im referring to this one.

      What’s hilarious about this is that they are so sensitive to being described. As a filthy liberal, you can call me weird is be like hell yeah strange-pilled bizarre-maxxing. Call me a communist I’ll be like you know it brother, stalin-with-laser-eyes.gif.

      But call a right winger a weird fascist and they’re whining “well now let’s not resort to insults”. Why can’t they tolerate what they tend towards? Doesn’t sound very empowered to me.
