Ah yeah, I guess I should’ve mentioned that the dialogue is probably edited. They were generally pretty mature cartoons and certain League members were for sure fucking, but it wouldn’t have ever been as blatant as this. This dialogue almost belongs in Harley Quinn.

This is most likely from the DCAU, either Justice League or Justice League Unlimited. Bruce and Diana had a very short lived little courting thing going on or whatever you would call it. And Diana was a bit more forward with it while Bruce was his usual gruff self. They didn’t actually get together though.

Edit: so animation

Edit 2: “courting”. I took my monocle off and realised the word I was looking for was “flirting”.

It would be cool if the massive and influential conspiracy crowd that you guys have there would ever pick up and run with anything painting the right wing in a bad light, to the same extent they get excited about secret pizza messages. Almost as if the whole conspiracy theorist scene is manufactured and controlled by firestarters that thank all of the dumb pieces of shit for their gullibility and for looking the other way whenever it looks like the conspiracy might be coming from inside the building.

No need to apologize, I’ve been getting worse as of late.

Not gonna judge because I’ve probably been somewhere similar before. I am not exactly who I was yesterday either. I hope that you make it through the other side of whatever is hurting you and start to feel pain free again.

I hope I’m reading this wrong and I truly apologize if I am but I’m getting pretty strong ‘asshole’ vibes here, much stronger than I would from anyone using the word “normie”, personally.

But either way, it’s actually good to know when words I previously felt were overall harmless can cause this kind of response. I may not be from the USA, or have come from a background where it’s such a charged word, but I’m on a platform that’s likely mostly American (based on the news and politics that come through ‘All’), so I will refrain from using it unless I find it absolutely necessary.

Which should be fairly easy to do, considering that I barely ever use it anyway and just thought that this would be an amusing conversation.

Yeah honestly it’s not that serious for me. Personally I’ve never even visited the front page of 4chan. It’s a word that’s been around since long before social media too, as far as I know. One other place I’ve seen it used is autism communities when someone is describing their feelings about fitting in, or not.

I feel like 4chan is a US-centric thing. And a niche one at that. So it’s a very niche US-centric thing to assume about random strangers on the world wide web. For a word that a lot of people probably use differently.

What an alpha.

Next step: political adverts that quiz you on what you’ve just heard and repeat each segment if you get the answer wrong.

Just kidding though (or am I). This is truly some dystopian shit. My first reaction was what the actual fuck. And I bet you that their numbers aren’t really going to hurt that much because of this. Mark my words.

Doesn’t have the same vibes though. To me ‘normie’ has always been a little bit of an insult on top of just describing the ‘average person’. “Average person” is for when you’re describing statistics. “Normie” is for when you’re describing people that clutch their pearls and their bible when a goth walks past.

Yeah, I use “normie” occasionally and it kinda makes me feel like le edgy teen. But the problem is that I’m not sure if there’s another word that quite replaces it either. Sometimes it’s the only word that works in a particular context.

Or the right wing way is just to say one thing and do another thing. Honestly to me as a non-American, it’s pretty weird that the right wingers have latched onto this ‘free speech’ thing and that everyone just goes along with it because to me, things like free speech and freedom of expression always seemed like liberal or left wing ideals.

These guys talk about free speech, then burn a pile of schoolbooks that spread the ‘librul’ agenda and call for anyone that isn’t white and Christian to be removed from their sight. The only small part of free speech that they’re interested in is being able to call groups of people subhuman and they don’t just want that sort of free speech, they want freedom from consequences too and act like getting punched in the mouth for saying the wrong thing in the wrong place isn’t a thing in real life either. And more than that, based on the extreme pearl clutching when the ‘tOlERanT lEFt’ ever comes down from their high horses, they want that free speech for themselves and themselves only.

Basically they’re liars, bad faith trolls and people that actually believe that their bigotry means that they stand for ‘freedom’. They also ‘care about the kids’ but want to marry and fuck them and send them to the mines. So isn’t it obvious by now that everything is opposite day with these people?
