now this is shitposting

[Smuggo]

TIL some people get mad about different words having different meanings. wtf is this 'it's just semantics' crap? we have different words for different things for a reason, if you're too lazy to use them properly that's your problem.

This is clearly a micro aggression.

i prefer to use the term "Tiny Antagonism" as micro can upset people suffering from the valid medical issue of micro penis

Antagonist is the 8th gender discovered by scientists and you are a part of the oppressive patriarchy.

I mean, this is all semantics as it is from the very beginning?

but yes, and that's what I've been repeatedly trying to say too, if less concisely.

You still don't get it at all. Its not semantics at all - it goes to the very fundamental question of fault.

Sigh, semantics as in meaning of words, as in didn't understand what words meant, and then spun a bullshit argument out of it.

And i've been going on about that very thing, about who is at fault, so chill eh?

TIL some people get mad about different words having different meanings. wtf is this 'it's just semantics' crap? we have different words for different things for a reason, if you're too lazy to use them properly that's your problem. if it's your second language and you didn't realise there was a distinction between terms, fair enough. but when someone who does know the language better than you points out your error, maybe learn from it instead of being a spaz.

"it's just semantics" is the last ditch attempt to dismiss the argument as pointless and try to make yourself look better pretty much

strictly speaking it is semantics, again, as we're discussing the meaning of words, but yeah, it's stupid to say therefore it doesn't matter

words are fucking important, shockingly, and even more shockingly IT nerds don't seem to get that, eh?

It is semantics but its not "just" semantics. It's semantics AND substance, and the latter makes it very important.

No its not, blame and responsibility are used synonymously in this dicussion in english and in many other languages pretty much all the time, and vicitims can be responsible/blamed. That doesnt matter to the law at all, but in the real world it does.

[Shiodome]

yes, people are wrong all the time. this isn't a reason to be wrong, lol.

It is ok to mock all religions.

Also isn't Scientology actually a financial scam?

It's far worse than that it seems.

Combine the worst aspects of Hitler Youth, with the more aggressive tendencies of the Spanish Inquisition, and wrap it up in a dastardly bowtie of Jim Jones-meets-Enron.
