Nobody cares how you "interpret" what somebody said. That is *your* prejudice. Hating somebody for that, is *your* hate. *Your* bullying.
Ask the author how he meant that, when he used those words. (Hint: Nobody is thinking of enslaving *people*. They are devices! Nobody thinks of treating anyone worse or acting like enslaving people is OK. Also, protip: Your "pets" or children *literally* are your slaves, so get off your high horse. And as a German, I could act "offended" like you too, with your constant misuse of the term "Nazi", like in "grammar nazi", and complete lack of a clue for what "racism" actually means. But I don't. Because I'm not in puberty anymore, where offendability was a thing.)
But maybe you meant this differently too . . . So please do tell us your intention with this. So I don't have to assume it's bullying and rip you a new one.
Just because something doesn't bother you does not mean it does not bother other people. When the "fix" is so utterly trivial, fighting over *intention* is a stupid waste of time.
I agree.
RH Webster's unabridged dictionary pg 638, col 1:
empathy 1. the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another. 2. the imaginative ascribing to an object, as a natural object or work of art, feelings or attitudes present in oneself.
I don't believe you're going after #2 and you're not demonstrating much #1.
Hahaha... you just told the guy with the bogfest empathy-overload problem in the world to learn the concept of empathy. I'm the wrongest possible person you could have said this to. One of my biggest problems is that I drown my own will in the will I get from others thanks to empathy.
Which is why I know exactly when somebody is abusing that t dominate others.
PROTIP: *Everybody* is offended or triggered by *something*. If you go down that route, like I did, you will find that *nothing* is safe to say. Noe even
As a matter of interest do you go around calling black people ni99ger and demand a technical justification of why you should change beyond the fact that the term is offensive and people who have been marginalised are hurt by it?
You sound like a real arsehole. But then we've known that about you for pretty much as long as you've been posting here.
Does the term n*gger refer to anything other than a black person?
You mean like ni99erkisses? (Direct translation of the word for chocolate coated marshmallows in many european languages, and the source of much of the same controversy as master slave is on this forum)
Yeah that's right, a German chocolate company renaming them Choco-kisses gave rise to the same "OMG THE WOKE ARE COMING FOR MUH FREEDOMS!!" bullshit that is going on here on this forum.

The terms used in other contexts only offend moronic shits. Tolerating people of that sort leads to tyranny.
