I have cancer. I’m open about it. This medicaid funding shit could literally kill me.
I am so sick of people suggesting I should “pull a Luigi” or “go out like a hero” because they still have things to lose so they don’t want to stand up and lose them. So because I’m gonna die, I should say fuck it and risk it all for a bunch of jerks who wouldn’t and haven’t done the same for me?
Do you have any idea how disrespectful that is to people who are already suffering? When nobody is standing up to sacrifice themselves to save the weak, broken, sick, and disabled? Why’s it our job to save the able bodied? Why can’t these people see that even though they think their heart is in the right place, they’re still basically telling us “your life sucks anyway and will end soon, you should throw it away for the rest of us who never did anything for you” or more simply “kys.”
I’m officially tired of this inconsiderate and frankly ableist bullshit.
Honestly, I wish some mods or admins would make some rules about it since it’s ableist.
Nearly every reddit and Twitter comment feed is full of lazy, limp-wrist morons, egging mentally ill people to commit violence for them.
Keep a lookout whenever you are reading comments anywhere for “someone should (…)” or something like that.
There it is again!
Someone insisted to me that “limp wrist” is a homophobic slur. It reads very much like you’re using it to refer to inactive keyboard warriors, but I am interested in your thoughts.
I say it to refer to weak impotent losers who complain on the internet all day, and seeing that people use it as a homophobic slur concerns me and I’ll stop saying it. Apologies.
It definitely had more of a homophobic connotation in the 90’s. I’m pretty sure at least one Kids in the Hall sketch with Scott Thompson references the idea, just because I recall him making a hand gesture with him holding his arms up but hands hanging limp from the wrist.
I believe it started like that because it “looks weak” and/or “effete”, e.g. wrist Who knows if another meaning has taken over it since like the early 2000s.
