#very applicable to people gatekeeping terminology that helps other’s explain their situation better and get help.

I’m so tired of seeing people police others’ language and assume they are (x, y, z) or mean (x, y, z) from harmless phrases and word choice. Like if it irks you, fine I get it. But if you genuinely think someone is horrible and awful or thinks something irrepressible for a cutesy word or phrase they use that ultimately means NOTHING — genuinely touch grass.

// obviously not about slurs — I mean words like ‘blorbo’ or those in a similar vein. Last time I checked, it wasn’t problematic so I’m operating under that supposition.

#I don’t like several blorbo terms. ‘blorbo-in-law’ still confuses me and makes me a bit uncomfortable blur I’d never think badly of someone- #-who says it. #I have so many social difficulties and I’m finding it harder than ever to say anything. I just close myself off because it’s more - #- comfortable. You get fired at for the most minor crap these days. #like welcome to the real world? I have small irks too and many sensory issues to boot but I never assume crap about others for harmless - #- word choice. #very applicable to people gatekeeping terminology that helps other’s explain their situation better and get help. #i already had that rant in instagram today I am not writing it again 💀💀 #genuinely I just never want to talk again sometimes. (it’s obviously more than just this but it contributes to it)
