Social media is too overstimulating, content being thrown at you from all directions, often vitriolic in nature Everyone talks in gay slang, ebonics, truncated vocabulary or valley-girlisms Nobody is sincere, all discussion is trying to get a one up on someone with thought terminating cliches to shut them down and keep up their fake social media character All modern media sucks with no exception, music, TV, games.

How do I escape it?

What's wrong with ebonics? brow

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

Didn't see that they're from the outside and just assumed they meant people appropriating other slang but now i think I'm wrong

Also that term is kind of dated, right? I kind of get it though. I feel iffy whenever I see some white suburbanite talking like a black millennial in the 2000’s when using black slang at the time would get you called “ghetto”

I don’t really know much about gay slang tbh and just assumed it also took a lot from slang black women would say

It's very dated and is usually used as a pejorative. OP is sus.

I thought Ebonics is what you say if you think it's a different language and AAVE or AAE is what you say if you think it's a dialect of English.
