"MICRO AGGRESSIONS" ah yes, the marginalized group that is discord users

I love how even when people make a point of saying they don’t have a better term and don’t mean it anything big, people will still just see it as “big bad woke term” and dismiss the rest of the post. You know that micro aggressions can literally just mean “repeated unkind things” nonny.

NA

"microaggression" by definition is specifically related to prejudice against marginalized individuals. it's not "repeated unkind things" and has a specific meaning.

My bad entirely— ESL here and I literally meant it as the exact English “micro”/“aggression” break up in words. I didn’t know how to convey this any better way that how I did but I understand it was wrong in that meaning. Sorry!

i felt like it had something to do with that, since you are correct if you dissect the words that way. english is dumb and makes no sense sometimes.

Thank you for being chill about it and not rubbing it in my face, sometimes English words are confusing. Wdym I can’t break it apart to use as two words side by side rather than the merged term for racial/identity attacks (I get why, pls, just a joke)

no it doesnt. it has a connotation but context matters and the op clearly wasnt referring to marginalized groups. dont be deliberately obtuse. linguistic prescriptivism is bad regardless of ur motivation, ur not “standing up for marginalized groups” by pretending u dont understand what somebody meant when they use the wrong words, thats how u end up harassing random people who speak english as a second language.

so we agree that, like batmorgue and this anon, sometimes people on the internet say things that get interpreted in the worst way

it's not about a one-off incident, it's about them being consistently rude and hurting people's feelings with blunt and hurtful remarks that just aren't necessary

nayrt

ok so i just clicked parent a bunch of times and saw zero links to screenshots about this apparently abhorrent behavior. can you shit or get off the pot? or just block them. i'm so confused why this is still being talked about

Re: Minor/Petty Salt Thread

objectively, i'm correct about the definition of microaggression, because the word was explicitly created for that exact meaning.

https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1024&context=cj_facpub
page 2, first full paragraph describes the origin of the word. you can find this information on many other papers about the term and its origin.

this is what i was saying, nothing more and nothing less. the person i replied to and i had a perfectly fine back and forth about it. you have a good one.

this thread is so funny "You can't use 'shlines' because 'sh' also means 'self-harm' but you can use 'micro aggression' in its literal definition and not the one it is largely known for".
