At first I thought "weird is such a tame insult.". But I'm loving how much it bothers them.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 74 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Funny how "weird" bothers them more than, say, "rapist".

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 26 points 1 month ago

Oof great point

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

Tells you how they value conformity above all else

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Well they only think one of those is bad

[–] niucllos@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Pretty weird tbh

[–] arin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The fact is funny, Trump is horrifying.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Rape is normalized if you are married, or would be married soon, or it doesn't count due to other party's low social standing or\and lack of agency, or you just scream and threaten louder than them when it is decided.

I used to be fine with being weird but now that they've taken over the term I cannot identify that way anymore.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, be cool with it. I’m weird, but I’m good weird, these people though they’re bad weird. By being comfortable with weirdness in ourselves we block the nou response

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

nah, you're right for two reasons:

  1. there can be multiple kinds of weird
    B) they don't self-identify as weird as we do
[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Try being strange instead?

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

to be honest I kind of feel like "strange" has negative connotations whereas weird has been normalized.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago

Then you're missing the point.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 58 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Is it normal to announce that you're not weird?

[–] KingGordon@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago

No, it’s weird.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Only after rambling about eating pets and South Park style abortions of children who have already been born.

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Reminds me of the old Monty Python sketch with the pilots. "Attention ladies and gentlemen, the wings are not on fire."

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 50 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I love how much it bothers them. Don’t they understand that their protests are keeping it alive?

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, no. Absolutely not. They have no self awareness.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 15 points 1 month ago

Ha! You’re right. They wouldn’t be nearly as ridiculous if they did.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 44 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Weird. Its something ive never been called"- says person complaining that people are calling him weird

The more you come out and say you're not weird, the more weird you are

Skin behaves in weird ways when enormous amounts of spray tan is applied over many years

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can estimate his age by counting the layers

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that trumpidendrochronology?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, they have to take a core sample from his face.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

It's hollow.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Eventually, it soaks into the face, then the brain. It really explains a lot.

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 31 points 1 month ago

"I have never been called weird" is a weird rebuttal when he is litrrally being called weird.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Why is it that every time i read a trump quote i get a mindfuck. Hes so bad at talking.

[–] finley@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

Because you are sane

[–] gencha@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Every time I read a Trump quote, I wonder if there is any chance left that it's fake

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 month ago

Isn't that wild? If I'm being honest, I have to do double take and figure out if it's bullshit or not...

[–] Mariemarion@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

That's because he's bad at thinking.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It makes me lose even more respect for his moron voters.

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 month ago (3 children)

No weird. No weird. You're the weird.

Anyway, they're eating the cats in Ohio, folks. They're EATING the CATS!

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

I saw it on television!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Ok I really want a patch that says “Ohio eats pussy” now

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

AND they ALSO eat the DOGS! And also they EAT the PETS! THIS is what is HAPPENING in the COUNTRY!

I think im going insane slowly...

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Complains about being called weird, and then immediately says he's never been called weird...

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

That's weird...

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

"We're very solid people, not liquids at all!"

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Part of me hates that one of the most effective anti fascist tactics of the current year is to channel my inner middle school bully. Not my inner middle school bully though, she’s loving getting to call these weirdo freaks the losers they are

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

His worst enemy is a wikipedian with a dozen of tabs to put his own quotes into the article.
