    I’ve come around to the point of view that white males throwing around cracker in online forums is cringe but that’s as far as I’ll go.

    Like, they’re identifying with the targeted group when actually they’re part of the privileged group and you don’t get to just disown structural privilege like that which makes it cringe for that group to throw around. Edgelord leftists who hate their privilege which is great but seek to disown it at the same time which isn’t actually possible. Cringe.

    People who are not white male teens / early 20s / tech bros can use it as much as they like imo.

      You’re being cringe for going this far out of your way to be upset about people saying cracker.

      but that’s as far as I’ll go.

      I hope you actually do that and stop posting cringe for a while.

        Im not upset about it though. Im saying its cringe when white dudes start throwing it around to be cool online. That is cringe. For the reasons outlined above. It’s not upsetting to me, it’s just cringe.

          That’s you being upset about it.

          For the reasons outlined above. It’s not upsetting to me

            No it’s just me saying it’s cringe lmao. You’re trying to push me into the square where you can say im upset about it because that’s how your script in this struggle session goes.

            But it doesn’t upset me, a black person can throw cracker at a white person and my reaction will be to laugh at the white person.

            When a white person uses it, they’re being cringe. Like a distant cousin of black face, it’s not our word to use. It’s their word for us.

              Yes, totally not mad which is why you keep coming back for more while pretty much everyone here is laughing about how “not mad” you are about the word anti-cracker-aktion

              You’re trying to push me into the square

              I don’t have to do any such thing. I’m just watching this ongoing transformation from corn cob to a thriving and vibrant cornfield.

              But it doesn’t upset me

              I haven’t seen or heard from a single black person that ever seconded your very fragile “not mad” sentiment.

                complaining about the word cracker will always be more annoying then saying cracker ever could lol. plus its funny and sets the tone that this is a cracker cruncher zone. plus if everyone says it then no one will hassle me for saying it. edit i love that when theres bullshit being said my fav posters have already dunked on that person. also i shouldnt have unblocked them
