At first I thought “weird is such a tame insult.”. But I’m loving how much it bothers them.

Funny how “weird” bothers them more than, say, “rapist”.

Rape is normalized if you are married, or would be married soon, or it doesn’t count due to other party’s low social standing or\and lack of agency, or you just scream and threaten louder than them when it is decided.

I used to be fine with being weird but now that they’ve taken over the term I cannot identify that way anymore.

Nah, be cool with it. I’m weird, but I’m good weird, these people though they’re bad weird. By being comfortable with weirdness in ourselves we block the nou response

nah, you’re right for two reasons:

  1. there can be multiple kinds of weird
    B) they don’t self-identify as weird as we do

to be honest I kind of feel like “strange” has negative connotations whereas weird has been normalized.

Is it normal to announce that you’re not weird?

Reminds me of the old Monty Python sketch with the pilots. “Attention ladies and gentlemen, the wings are not on fire.”

I love how much it bothers them. Don’t they understand that their protests are keeping it alive?

Oh, no. Absolutely not. They have no self awareness.

Ha! You’re right. They wouldn’t be nearly as ridiculous if they did.

The more you come out and say you’re not weird, the more weird you are

“I have never been called weird” is a weird rebuttal when he is litrrally being called weird.
