Am I assuming most people are using words as a weapon?
Did I say people were questioning my use of the word queer?
I’m discussing a common manipulation tactic that’s often performed which is happening in this meme. Something often used to derail an argument by forcing people to waste time talking about the definition of words rather than continuing a conversation about concepts as a whole.
Manipulator’s to me are like magicians, they hate when people talk about the tools of their trade. And I love talking about the tools of a manipulators trade. This just so happened to be a meme about a manipulators tool.
I asked for an example of people getting annoyed about you using a word wrong and that’s what you gave. This conversation has been confusing, but I don’t think we actually disagree after all.
I’m also confused as to how I am changing the subject talking about people who are stuck on defining words in relation to a meme about people stuck on defining words.
At the very least we don’t disagree on something after all this and that’s something positive.

:/
The meme was about pretending to care about definitions.
