what y'all don't seem to get is it's a way to other someone who othering you. to describe a person who hasnt been through it and lacks the experience and context to understand a joke or perspective or struggle.
you sit here and say it "reeks of 4chan" like everyone who uses 4chan should be ashamed of it. You are othering an entire community. assuming that someone lacks imagination for using a word you don't like is you othering them.
it's no wonder you don't like the word.
Wow, I have so many questions. Who othered you, why must you other them, and why is that relevant here?
I'm sorry, I didn't realize othering a group known for its toxicity and harmful effects on users and society was bad. Truly, those who've been shunned by all deserve a place to gather, and I'm glad 4chan is there to offer a home to the innocent racist/incel/transphobe and co.
didn't even take a second to think about what I said huh
