This is infuriatingly common, it's used so freely and without explanation, and in so many cases where it evidently does not apply the word has become literally meaningless yet still steeped in spite and even disgust.
Not to mention that i have not even seen myself a single case where a post accusing something of being pretentious had itself any substance in its accusation, literally being itself pretentious wankery. It's an endless, meaningless cycle that lowers the conversation every single time.
Please, can someone just make a script where every time you write the word it switches for a random adjective or something. It's really draining to read it all the fucking time and it NEVER means anything of substance.
