It's that simple. Stop trying to justify your offense, and start doing the right thing and do better, and reframe from using bigotry accidental or not.

I think the lesson that should be learned here is that being out raged ans masking it as some pedantic means or educating people is 100% a boomer thing to do.

So okay boomer. Please learn to take a joke. You need to learn intent matters, anyone can clearly see they did not intend to offend so getting annoyed by something that was clearly not meant to be taken as such is weird. No need to toss around buzz words to make nothing into something.

Man I really love the new attire-

Yeah, what happened here? Mods about to be all over this.

A small correction is needed here. "Boomers" extend all the way into the early 60s. I was born in 1961 and am considered a "boomer".

Tirade? I welcome this sanctioned racism we fostered! I mean, it is hypocritical, but why fight society? Let's go to the cracker barrel! :^)

Why would I have to say anything, as they both clearly already know that is a bigoted term, btw I reported the person who used it. I doubt the dev tem will do anything about it.

Did you legit report someone for using the term boomer? Geez, you really playing into all the boomer / Karen stereotypes. As they say often times they are based on a degree of truth.

As my Grandpa would say one cannot give offense, offense is taken. Meaning it is a choice to be offended, life is too short to get offended over such non issues.

This person has already equated "boomer" with the N word in this thread, I wouldn't expect much from a reply.
