Why is everyone shitting on Chris Pratt lately? Did I miss something????

TL;DR That idiot Page accused him of being homophobic, and it stuck, despite the "evidence" being the equivalent of "I knew this guy who knew this guy who said..."
So, they’re basically angry at him over nothing, he’s just the latest acceptable celebrity target?
noblepeasant
Pretty much, yeah.
That is incredibly stupid.
There's also "I assumed from his religion he was homophobic".
mywackydreams
While all this is true, and definitely the reason he’s so widely hated, the recent media backlash has nothing to do with him being “homophobic.”
It has to do with him writing an Instagram message complimenting his wife where he thanked her for giving him a healthy daughter, meanwhile his ex wife is currently taking care of their son who has numerous health issues.
Which yeah it’s kinda a dick move ngl but tbh if any other celebrity did this no one would bat an eye, but because it’s Chris Pratt and Chris Pratt is a Christian who met his wife in church and who hasn’t been vocal about politics so people assume he’s a homophobic alt right nazi despite zero evidence, this made big news.

The whole Instagram post was about him complimenting his wife.
Literally just “wow my wife is so sweet and cool and I’m a goober who helps her open jars of pickles.” It wasn’t “MY CURRENT WIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER, NOT LIKE THAT OTHER WIFE WHO BIRTHED A DISEASE-RIDDEN TROGLODYTE.” Saying that a child is healthy is a common thing parents do. The child is safe and being well cared for.
It’s not an attack on his former wife and other child. It’s him gushing about his current wife. Everyone does that! And yet people are calling it cringy and offensive??? It’s just a dude saying that he loves his wife. I thought Tumblr was all about guys loving their wives.
It’s just idiots on the Internet trying to pick apart someone because it’s trendy to do so. People call him a homophobe and a Trump supporter but I have yet to see any actual fucking proof of either of those. It’s just shitting on him for being Christian.
And before you say I’m a butthurt Christian, I don’t associate with Christianity anymore. My mother used the religion against me and I don’t have any religious leanings. I just think it’s fucking stupid to attack people on the basis of religion because some other people in the religion do shitty things. Because, you know, any big enough group is gonna have people who are bad in it!
Yeah, those people tearing him down need an ass kicking.
People really will read the most innocuous of posts in the worst possible way, won't they?
I also just wanted to point out that these idiots will bash any Christian as "homophobic" because there are homophobic Christians
But if you hold all practitioners of one of the progressive's pet religions to the same standards of that religion's shit members, you're racist and -phobic

This just in: People on the internet bully funny raptor man because he plays a Italian Plumber who fights turtles and eats mushrooms.
you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it
example: you absolute coat hanger
as well u can just add ‘ed’ to any object and it’s sounds like you were really drunk
example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night

Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).
Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.
… huh. I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.
I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.
Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.
“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”

Is it a glitch or a feature?

Feature
s-peak-in-tongue-s
this neat feature is called collocative substitution, and it occurs when certain words are strongly linked to certain context and/or phrases. when you read/hear a pair of words that usually wouldn’t go together, your brain fills in the context with what would normally be inferred, given the originally phrased pairing. thus, finding out that there’s a term for this phenomenon may indeed leave you utterly sandwiched. lesser known or less strongly linked phrases and pairings may not be able to translate substituted words to appropriately fit the inferred context, so you were not utterly floorboarded at the club last night, but rather you were absolutely floorboarded, and as this explanation continues to drag on, you may by the end of it find yourself completely coathangered from read it all.
I, like all linguists I have met or even heard of, have a deep intricate love-hate relationship with the English Language because of complete and total coathangering like this

Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
English has a lot more words created for very specific phenomena! It’s not just rick-rolling. Language is always evolving and it’s super interesting! Here’s a list of hyper-specific/untranslatable words in English.
Some of these are fucking wild.
