Where is Twitchy’s lawsuit? This seems pretty obvious co-opting of an existing platform.

the word ‘simp’ is: “A slang insult for men who are seen as too attentive and submissive to women, especially out of a failed hope of winning some entitled sexual attention or activity from them.” It’s also considered misogynistic, derogatory, offensive, and disrespectful, so you cannot say simp on Twitch.

This word is forbidden NOT because it insults men, but rather because it INDIRECTLY insults women (who presumably provoked, encouraged, or profited from the given behavior).

Regards,

Oh, the phun I could have demonstrating a father’s curse.
I’m sure, if you are old enough, the referred passage bespeakking ‘may your son marry ...’. and with that we would read gender, race, physicalities, and profession.

I will let the reader fill in the blanks.

Now, should some youngun not yet out of high school ask me, “what are you saying?”
My response, “ Y’all are not old enough yet!””

“a respectful atmosphere where everyone feels welcome”

I would not feel welcome on a platform that engaged in this kind of heavy handed censorship.

I guess I am not a subset of “everyone”!

Every time you click onto Youtube, they’re complaining about more words being banned so you have to make up words and talk in code. Ridiculous. Of course, it could be a sleezy way to steal income from creators. If a word can be said on the evening news or printed in the newspaper, it should be allowed.
