The VERY SECOND someone's "words with multiple meetings" strays onto something that these fucks care about, they are the FIRST to throw out their toys and lose their shit.
what does it mean?
What does what mean?
The word oofmatic is just made up. The person behind the word is the thing people are saying is fucked.
Using "gay" as an insult used to be very common, and it got its pejorative meaning because of the sentiment that homosexuality is bad. A rising acceptance of homosexuality means that using "gay" as an insult for people/things/ideas has fallen out of favor.I am so out of my element in this thread. I dont understand any of the phrases, slang nor even why Oofmatic is bad? why is it homophonic? been reading some responses but everyone seems to know, wtf. I had never heard of it until literally this thread
I would respect a Klan Hood, at least they would be honest. The hat is some "I am not touching" bullshit. Complete spinlessnessIt's why the hat exists. To be a hostile statement to anyone the GOP seeks to other. May as well wear a klan hood.
So how do you express that absolutely beautiful reply from TheHadou in a fighting game gif.
Is it Geese Howard's counter? Hakumen's Astral Finish? I try to visualize it in my head and nothing seems to come close.

This is fake right
Speaking of which...
Burn doesn't have that many meanings in the dictionary so he knows.
Oofmatic is the person's name/handle. That's not what is being discussed.

"Retard" and "retarded" as pejoratives stem from disdain of the developmentally delayed and have similarly fallen out of favor.
Edit: If you mean "Oofmatic", that's just the dude's moniker. Like astro said, Oofmatic isn't a homophobic word, he's a homophobic person.
Lmao thanks, I thought Oofnatic was now a word and was super confused, cheers
Its like " Its out of my hands now"It's actually a thing of beauty, it's a specific insult to a specific type of person with absolutely no hatred or vitriol behind it, but still absolutely devastating when used effectively (and was it ever!)
Truly the hero we need.
What acrual meaningful nuance is there to have in the context of the words he chose, exactly?
I know you won't answer, don't worry.
The thing about jokes is that they still communicate ideas, which makes them potentially dangerous regardless of the intent behind them. Humour isn't a catch-all defense, and part of the reason why the definition of offensive changes is because we start to recognize the harm that was always being caused.I'm not trying justify his use "gay", "sh*t", or retarded. I should have made that more clear. He posted what he did and consequences happened. What I mean by nuanced conversation is two people could be chatting about something they find entertaining, using tone or words that others might find offensive. Jokes are a prime example, where I know plenty of people who like Dave Chapelle's stuff, but I know there are those that are offended by it. I've seen Twitter posts in the past where that pretty much happened.
The world is a different place than it was 10 years ago. Whether you agree with his tweet or not, dude should have picked his battles more wisely. These days everybody wants to be right in what they think, and a number of them get push back for it.
Suffice to say Twitter is not the greatest place to have a nuanced conversation about word usage.

When you tell a joke using a slur, you are also communicating that there are situations where it is acceptable to use that slur. If you surround yourself in those jokes, you create the atmosphere where they are constantly acceptable.
Why don't you tell us what you really think of people using gay and retarded as insults, even if it's people chatting about something they find entertaining.
Bruhhhhhlooking at the replies, apparently he's also a flat-earther
which isn't too shocking
Nothing you have written has any bearing to what happened here though, like at all.I agree with that, comedy isn't a justification to say something shitty. I also think some jokes need to be said, regardless of offensive attitudes, so they can poke fun at the absurdity of dangerous ideas. That's apart of what makes comedy special as an art form, exploring social commentary around a subject people don't want to talk about.
What do you want to hear?
Now that his Twitter is unlocked, you can see the rest of the garbage he spews.
It's uh...quite something.
