And that is, of course, because I'm a stickler for both clarity and precision when referring to techbros and transphobes.
Which means I should acknowledge that usage count is now three posts.
And to further clarify, while I'm sorry if someone told you there wouldn't be any math today, I am not sorry for anything else.
Thank you.
@lisamelton You tell 'em.
I don't lose sleep over the offended sensitivities of people who are more disturbed by garden-variety obscenity than the very real, far more harmful obscenities being referred to.

Enough is enough. I've had it with these motherfucking transphobes on this motherfucking thread. Everybody strap in, I'm about to toot.

@csilverman This.

@lisamelton Motherfuckers is a perfectly respectable adjective if used appropriately.
Your use of the term is absolutely correct. Techbros and transphobes are, by definition, motherfuckers.
I yield back.
@fahrni @lisamelton I dunno. I think their attitudes make them pretty unfuckable. I suspect they don't fuck a lot at all.

@lisamelton I’m British, so the word “fuck” is more of a verbal tic than a swear word to me. But even for those who think it’s offensive, I am reliably informed it’s a good way to make the LLM crawlers go away, so at this point, it’s basically mandatory.

@lisamelton I’ll endorse this usage and those motherfuckers can go suck eggs.

@lisamelton I am also a fan of the term motherfucker and have little patience with people offended by it. Their pearl-clutching is not our problem.

@lisamelton
It is an unfortunate feature of the English language that most of our best and most powerful curse words turn out to be, in some way, sexist, racist, sex-negative, homophobic, transphobic, or in some other way negative and potentially harmful to unintended targets. I spent too much of my life being too polite, but now that I have embraced everyday cursing, it's a constant struggle. Dammit. _______! _____! ____! ______ _____! Rats! -

@lisamelton Interesting how I, a man, have used the term "motherfuckers" repeatedly on Fedi without receiving any censure. I wonder what the difference could possibly be.

@samir @lisamelton Never waste a glorious opportunity to shock them all…
Edited: there used to be a link here to a John Cleese video at Graham Chapman’s funeral, a.o. about swearing on BBC television and at funerals. But apparently, mr Cleese’s opinions have taken a turn for the worse, so….

Wait, is that true? I use the word like it's a fucking comma, so if it's also like bug spray for bots, I'm all over that.

@lisamelton Good gorb what I wouldn't give for someone saying motherfucker too much to be the big problem that needed my attention, instead of all these actual motherfuckers out here fucking up everything for mothers and everyone else.

@sandorspruit @lisamelton I liked Cleese, but he has fallen into one of the two categories of “motherfucker” more recently (and you can probably guess which).
