Thoughts on the new street attire.

You bring up a good lesson that people need to learn. Making a Joke, idiom, or metaphor through the use of bigotry is wrong, and when someone calls you out on it, you shouldn't try and defend your use of bigotry. You should apologize, and try to avoid bigotry, now in some cases you might not feel the term or expression is offensive, but it really doesn't matter, you don't get to choose whither or not others are offended, If you offend, you are at fault. 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.

One more time, for the denser kids. Boomers are the kids born of the people who lived through the Second World War, 1945 to 1960

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".

Careful they might go on a tirade how Karen is a term that was coined to oppress the white middle class and undermine their real world issues.

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.

Don't boomers still make up a large portion of people in power, at least in the States? I wouldn't really call them a systemically oppressed minority, if that's possible for an entire generation of people.

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

Fair point. That post made me wonder if I was replying to a troll.
