    Still not 50 pages yet? - OK another contribution :winker:

    Two unrelated topics (or are they?)

    [1] Snacks.com
    Buy your quarantine snacks directly from PepsiCo’s new website Snacks.com
    PepsiCo, the multinational food and beverage giant, wanted in on the direct-to-consumer action
    so they bought the domain Snacks.com

    [2] Quotes from dictionary.com
    The word 'Snack' was black slang for a 'small penis' in the 1970s and gay slang for 'male genitalia' in the 1980s.
    But, in the 2000s, snack emerges as slang for an attractive person
    (i.e., someone who looks sexy enough to scarf down like a snack).
    This sense of snack is recorded on Urban Dictionary and found on Twitter by 2009.

    ----

    Discussion...
    • How long before I throw a tantrum and object to being called a 'snack'? (wish I was that lucky!)
    • How long before attractive people get offended by being called 'snacks'?
    • How long before ugly people get offended by not being called 'snacks'?
    • How long before Pepsi receives a petition asking them to change their obviously offensive snacks.com website name?
    • How long before Pepsi's lawyers tell them to grow up and fuck off and buy their food from somewhere else?
    • How long before massive threads exist in forums where deluded people insist that Pepsi should change their grotesque sexist behaviour?
    Meanwhile no-one bothers to notice that PepsiCo, the sugar peddling giant,
    is poisoning your kids and contributing to the global diabetes pandemic?
    Why would anyone notice something like that when "hey it's those offensive sexist words like 'snack' that are the problem"?

    How long before people grow up into adults?
    We can but dream. :)

    and it's where me and my other 10 year old friends would explore to find out what all those naughty words meant.
    Might be better to just ban those corrupting dictionaries completely - start the petition!

    Hmmm... Now that i think about it, in direct contrast of what you said, the word Dictator sounds quite correct. I mean Dictators are supposed to fuck them all, aren't they... :hahaha:

    So 'Slut Walk' marches are A-OK, but 'Gearslutz' isn't?

    Why do black people get to use the 'N' word while noone else can? It is the most derogatory word in the English language, but nobody is trying to cancel that use of a word. If people want to call themselves sluts in whatever context they find humorous, let them. Gear sluts/Gear Whores are people who collect and talk about gear. The term has been around for decades before cancel culture snowflakes were born. It is an inside joke that these people do not have the intellect or tolerance to comprehend, so they have to lash out anonymously in mob fashion.

    To the Gearslutz.com owner:
    You created a world and you are God of it. Who the hell is someone else to tell you what to do with your world. If you bow down to mob mentality like this, you do not deserve respect. Will these 1500 people really make your ad views drop enough to make a difference?
    If the US Congress can stand up to a mob on Jan. 6, you should stand up to this mob now. Hold your ground or lose it forever.

    Bam! Because the same group of people that control porn are the ones that are fighting free speech. It's called Communism.

    Because they couldn't avoid being insulted with it so turned into pride among themselves.

    It does suck not being able to say "n*gger" (I guess you meant that) because sounds racist from a "white". But it's the same than with the "slut". Has been used mostly to insult women. We can't ignore it.

    After all that has been said on this thread, there are people who still don't understand:
    • insulting women is NOT part of your freedom of speech
    • insulting women is NOT part of the right of expression
    • insulting women should NOT be done
    In the Gearslutz affair, even just supporting bullies is wrong. for God sake: Stop being immature and use your brain
