I know I wasn’t the only person who expected some transphobic shit and was pleasantly surprised.

The OP pic is suuuper misleading. It didn’t keep the suffixes (sufficies), it kept the whole words if they were loaned. The suffices were never applied to any other gendered loan words.

The loan words with this suffix remain in use.

That’s Panoramix’s fault. Or maybe Gettafix…

Well, first of, a lot of Keltic romanized names end in -ix. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/780hf9/asterix_and_gaulish_names/ )

And that was enough for the writers to go go on a punny tangent with names that end on -ixe or -isk (idee fixe, asterisk)

The Tor browser can be used to access the dark web. Normal browsers, such as Firefox or Chrome don’t have the correct protocol to access the onion network.

Trix are for kids, was part of an advertising campaign for Trix cereal in the U.S.

Lmao it has nothing to do with the Tor browser.

It’s that the -tor suffix applies to men and women. A female pilot is not an aviatrix anymore, she’s an aviator.

“You come into my house” and (insert thing that offended you) in this case setting up a post which gave you some interesting information only to pull out the rug with a pun referencing a commercial many 90s and 00s kids had seen ten million times.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We’re all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don’t like a thing doesn’t mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
