This is why cultural context is so important. Within 4chan, there was basically no chance of that word choice hurting anybody because nobody on 4chan is offended by being called a faggot. Like 80+% of the people on that site would describe themselves as fags (the local term for an artist is a 'drawfag', an author is a 'writefag'... I've even seen heterosexuals being referred to as 'straighfags' and homosexuals being called 'fagfags' but that was probably intended as a joke). It's like how in Ireland or Australia you'd call your friend a cunt in casual conversation and everybody would know it's affectionate but if you take that same conversation to America everybody would be shocked and appalled.
-fag as a suffix on 4chan most denotes personhood. Straightfag and fagfag are unironic, at least as unironic as anything else on 4chan, ways to refer to one's sexuality when that's relevant.
Finally some good fucking food

This is literally my favorite color. 😩 Smaragd green is another dark shade of green that I’m absolutely obsessed with.
One wild thing about Universal cutting up all those trees is I first heard about tree law like, maybe a month ago. One of my mutuals reblogged that one comic and my reaction was sort of mildly amused, but also a little confused as to why tree law seemed to be so popular of all things
It really feels like some great karmic entity leaned down and said hey here’s the set up to a joke that won’t get a punchline for a little while. But when it does you’re gonna love it
There's a lot of dumb ass animal cruelty takes in general but my favorite is the people who think you need to force sled dogs to pull.
Have you ever walked a dog before in your entire life? They love to pull. They're the pullingest damn things you ever saw. They'll merrily rip your rotator cuff in half like a phone book for the chance to stick their own face into a pile of old feces. They'll drag you down the road while you go through all 5 stages of grief trying to make them stop.
There are hundreds of products on the market promising to get ordinary non sled dogs to stop pulling their hapless owners down the road and spilling their iced coffees. People have gone so far as to use electric collars to try and zap sense into their poor stupid labradoodle that wants nothing more but to suicidally pull itself and everyone it loves into the snarling maw of the nearest leash reactive pit bull.
A dog that's allowed to pull, nay, encouraged to pull, is probably the most self actualized animal on the planet right after seagulls that live somewhere with food stands outdoors.
Change of font, angle and font size right at the offensive punchline, huh?
So just when it gets to the offensive part, it changes font, becomes more italicized and less bold? What an awfully weird coincidence.
This L and R don't look awkward at all compared to the S and U. Isn't it also funny how the letters of the other words cast rays, except for the offensive one?
Last one seems to be more competent, not exactly a shark so I can't really spot any signs of editing. That being said, with the other three showing that, I have little reason to believe this one is unedited.
Imagine breaking tree law before paying your workers more :)
Also, there’s a lawyer on Twitter who pointed out that because the trees in question were ficus trees and there are dozens of species of birds (a not-insignificant number of which are endangered or near-endangered species, if I’m not mistaken) that make their nests in ficuses, and that Universal probably didn’t think to look for any nests or birds before they started illegally pruning the trees, they may have also violated the Migratory Birds Treaty Act, which is a federal law, under which they could likely be charged with at least several misdemeanors and possibly even several felonies—namely, disturbing nests and causing damage to live birds, if there were any in the trees at the time—for destroying these birds’ habitats in the process of attempting to break strikers’ resolve. The real kicker? A lot of these crimes under the MBTA are charged per bird that they caused harm to. Given how many ficuses there were along that sidewalk that they illegally pruned and how many species of birds are known to nest in ficuses, the odds that Universal somehow managed to not harm or disrupt any of them are, statistically speaking, incredibly slim.
TL;DR—Universal Studios definitely violated tree laws, which is bad enough for them, and it’s entirely likely that they also violated bird laws in the process, which will really get them into some trouble if the right people go digging.
P.S.—I found the Twitter thread I was talking about again so I could provide a link to it on this post; however, thanks to Muskrat Man running the Bird App into the ground, the original tweeter has aggregators blocked, so in case that link doesn’t work, here’s a link to the TikTok she posted about it which contains the same info!
The Twitter gentrification of Tumblr.
Y'know all my slurs and suicide baiting haven't gotten me deleted but I bet if I went to the inbox of one of the Twitter refugee devs and said they were gentrifiers and colonizers, I'd be deleted in under 24 hours.
in my documence. straight up “writing it”. and by “it”, haha, let’s justr say. Words certainly
hey.

I dom't see the issue
I mean, that is the antisemitic caricature. I assume that's what people are objecting to.
That said, I feel like if somebody had a problem with it, they should be talking to the person who owns it, not the bank that issued it.
"5 Tips for Dating a Werewolf" by TJ Klune
1. If a werewolf has locked onto your scent, it is best to let them get as much of it as they can. If they are in shifted form, it might mean a wet nose to your face or a tongue in your hair. Fear not! They are, in a way, like a large dog, if a large dog were capable of human wants and whims. If you find yourself in such a position, do not move! Let the werewolf finish its scent-marking. It could take anywhere from five minutes to six days, so get comfortable!
2. Should you find yourself in possession of a dead animal left upon your doorstep, don’t scream and/or vomit! Chances are, it is from the same werewolf who sniffed you, wanting to make sure you are provided for. This is how a lycanthrope expresses interest. Be careful not to offend the wolf, as they might be watching from behind a tree or a bush. If you are averse to blood and gore, pretend someone dropped a cherry pie filled with bones on your porch.
(On the off chance that the dead animal was left by a cult and not a werewolf, please be prepared in case you are marked for a ritual sacrifice.)
3. Going on a date with a werewolf can be a fun event! Given that you might be in public, it would be best not to ask your werewolf suitor to “shift in the middle of an Applebee’s just to see if it scares the server into giving free appetizers.” While many people enjoy mozzarella sticks (especially when given under threat of fangs), using your werewolf in such a way to get fried cheese is considered bad form. Your werewolf has feelings, and no one likes to be used.
(If your werewolf does shift to get you cheese, reward them by telling them you think they are the greatest creature in existence. Positive reinforcement goes a long way!)
4. Uh oh. Your werewolf has driven you home, arches a single, devastating eyebrow, and says, “Are you going to invite me inside?”
Remember, werewolves aren’t vampires, meaning they do not need permission to enter your residence. However, good wolves always wait for permission before entering a dwelling that is not their own.
In this case, given the arched eyebrow, the werewolf is hoping to be invited inside for “adult activities.” This might include rolling on the carpet or having sex in the kitchen and/or up against a wall. If you choose to do this, you might see the werewolf’s eyes flashing. Good news! This means the wolf is having a wonderful time.
5. Your wolf stayed the night! How lucky are you? If you wake up the next morning with the shifter lying on top of you, it is very important that you do not move until they have decided to move on their own. Waking up a sleeping wolf can sometimes be difficult work, but if you keep a squeaky ball next to your bed, now is the time to put it to good use. Squeeze it near the wolf’s ear and ask, “Who’s a good boy? Who wants to play with the ball? Is it you? Is it you?” Your wolf will most likely glower at you and threaten your life, but if you squeeze the ball three times, the wolf will be distracted. Throw it to the floor, and as the wolf chases after it, consider making waffles! Werewolves love waffles.
(God help you if you make pancakes. You have been warned.)
If you have survived these first five steps, you are to be commended! That means you most likely will have a werewolf for the rest of your life. A werewolf is a commitment. Adopt, don’t shop!
Remember this the next time some walkable cities tard, public transport cuck, ev fag or bike bitch starts pissing and moaning about how "heckin cars are destroying the heckin environmentarino"
That's great. Now do the global elite's private jets.
And remember: those container ships are only operating because the World Trade Organization has declared that no member nation is allowed to put any restrictions on the quality or manufacturing standards of Chinese exports, so anybody trying to do local manufacturing has to compete with a factory that uses slave labor, ignores all environmental regulations, and replaces half the components of the end product with alternatives that save a penny by literally poisoning the customer.
But if you talk about that in public you're a xenophobic fascist.
In case you think the writers on strike aren't making good use of their time, think no more!
Only click the read more if you're fully prepared. I'm taking no responsibility past this point.
you ever log onto this hellsite only to find that the ENTIRE INTERFACE HAS CHANGED and like e3e been here too long for this

"end the suffering, not the sufferer" I guess when someone has an inoperable brain tumor and modern medicine can do nothing to prevent the slow agonizing death of several years of constant pain, seizures, and gradual loss of self we can fix it by just wishing and saying mercy killing is evil.
Ya'll come up with the wildest takes. But also yeah I don't think it's ok to kill people with brain tumors.
Why do you want to kill people so badly? I just don't get why it's so important that we don't let people live? Why is killing always the only solution for you?
Because they're death cultists.
It doesn't help anon's argument that every pro-euthanasia group has transitioned pretty damn fast from 'mercy kill people with inoperable brain tumors' to 'mercy kill people who are not neurotypical' or 'execute people who are poor instead of treating them for anything'.
