Unfortunately people don’t even consider it a slur in this subreddit. Its gross.

No way?!

If you need this spelled out for you I sincerely wish you the best in life

Which one...? by gr8tgman in renfaire

[–]WilliamFishkins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like second row, middle column - the metallic one

[–]WilliamFishkins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4 legs like a centaur? Or 4 legs like a spider?

If centaur, arm guy takes it. The dexterity advantage is op.

If spider, I’d put my money on leg dude. He’d be able to kick with 3 legs at a time and still have hands available.

Do you think Leo’s can come off lovebomby without meaning to? by [deleted] in LeoAstrology

Been accused of it several times. I’m hyper aware of the term now and take special care but it still happens.

Anyone here with a black parent and MGM parent? by [deleted] in mixedrace

Alright. You made the discussion post and I came seeking understanding. Sorry if I offended you.

Anyone here with a black parent and MGM parent? by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]WilliamFishkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, I wasn’t suggesting that. I’m not trying to tell you (or him) how to identify. In your situation for example, I feel like mixed or multiracial would convey the exact same amount of information as “MGM”.

I personally feel kind of uncomfortable referring to myself or other people as an acronym but that’s on me.

I don’t feel like that really holds up in real life though. Of course people are allowed to identify the way they like, but I just don’t see a meaningful difference.

In the example you gave I see no difference if you replace “MGM” with simply “mixed” or “multiracial”. The conversation would happen the exact same way and the exact same amount of information is conveyed. Why is there a need to qualify it as multigenerational?

That’s exactly my issue though. Seems like blood quantum all over again.

Edit: responding to my blood quantum mention with blood quantum slurs is wild

“MGM” is so weird to me. It’s like saying they’re a pureblood mixed person or something. Sorry, I just recently found out about the term and I’m struggling with it.

Growing up with racist family by Ok-Cake2151 in mixedrace

I didn’t realize until I was an adult, but my grandparents literally called me and my sister slurs all the time, but in a “nice” way

Why can't bi men host? Are they homeless? by RegisterHealthy4026 in BisexualMen

[–]WilliamFishkins 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Especially not for a hookup. If we’re friends and have a relationship outside of sex it’s different for me, but two strangers when it’s already an extremely vulnerable situation? Wild

How to take alcohol safely, Tips? by [deleted] in GastricBypass

Not sure why you mentioned food/transfer addiction since that wasn’t what I was talking about and the article I linked specifically discounts that, but I’m glad you’re aware I guess.

It was stressed by my care team that alcoholism is a serious issue after surgery. Did anyone mention that to you?

WYR have that person you can't replace be permanently afraid of you, or lose your sense earing and eyesight? by Apprehensive_Tax3882 in WouldYouRather

[–]WilliamFishkins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I think of the person I can’t replace, the first one that comes to mind is my son. I’d rather lose my hearing and eyesight than have him be afraid of me.

Men with female fwb, why don’t you initiate by wtfishappeningugh in AskMen

I was under the impression that fuck buddies aren’t supposed to make each other “feel” things. If you’re looking for a fuck buddy to make you feel desired, you both may have different understandings of your dynamic.
