      Imagine not claiming female as a word of pride but instead trying to realize some inferiority complex by promoting the establishment of sexist language that makes the word for an entire gender a demeaning slur.

      This analogy fits you.

      Imagine online activists started condemning usage of the word dutch as a slur. It’s bizarre: there is nothing wrong with the dutch, yet they’re acting as though we should think so & resist that urge? Why are they propagating problematic presuppositions we don’t have about the dutch? Why are they trying to make this official? Are they some special breed of stupid?

      Continuing this analogy, they drag you into fights by claiming you’re a racist for using the word when you’re not actually saying anything offensive about the dutch. You & the rest of society know the word dutch isn’t offensive, yet these activists insist it is by pointing to some fringe online community spewing vitriolic propaganda about dutch inferiority specifically using the word dutch. You repudiate their claim by asking why some fringe group irrelevant to wider society gets to decide the meaning of words, but they condemn your “hurtful” language and say you’re as bad as them or one of them. Don’t be an asshole & use another word like Dutchperson, Netherlander, or Hollander they say: it’s the right thing to do & shows socially conscientious, moral rectitude.

    I knew you’d show your real self sooner or later. You should have stuck with the facade.

    My SO has a septum piercing, I personally don’t like how it looks, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna make fun of or ridicule her because of it, it’s her body, so it’s her choice, and there is nothing that I should be able to do about it

    It’s almost as if they don’t give a flying fuck about you, or your opinions that your parents should have taught you to keep to yourself.

    I got my septum pierced back in the 90s. Glad I got to enjoy a good decade or two when it was still a counterculture fashion statement.
