There are some that consider the term obese to be derogatory.

I don't agree with that opinion, but I can understand where they come from. I generally support body positivity with a heavy dose of realism. Being overweight shouldn't be a reason for someone to treat you poorly, but pushing the idea that being overweight isn't unhealthy is where I draw the line.

If I were medically overweight I'm sure I would also not like any term that directly points to something considered a very negative trait, however clinical the word is.

The ayylmao alien has been around since at least 2012 and definitely was not popularized by that youtube channel.

As someone who mostly lurks/occasionally comments and someone who likes to view hot/active posts from all communities, repeat posts from similar communities in different instances is something I find really annoying. I'll see the same post four or five times as I scroll. It can make things feel really empty to see the same things more than once.

As someone who lives in Texas and every other vehicle in the road is an oversized pickup, fuck em.

They drive worse faster the douchy chargers/mustangs and somehow manage to use their blinker less often than a BMW driver.

The community in question is "adorable porn", from what I've read.

The concept of which is attractive but bubbly/cute women in nsfw circumstances.

Who the fuck is going to the doctor over a cold? Especially when it's someone making $9/hr (if they're in Texas, at least).

Slap a mask on and don't breathe in people's food and you can keep on working. Why is this even an issue?

Bad romance novels or creepy "alpha male" influencers.

And the (original) nazis didn't like most people we would consider white either. Especially if they were near or a part of a communist state.

Fingerprints are a faux science as it is anyway, pretty much for the same reasons witness testimony is nearly worthless. Vsauce2 did a really good video discussing fingerprint evidence and how the specialist are very frequently wrong. Not to mention that the "all humans have unique fingerprints" idea was debunked.

DNA evidence is really the only fool-proof evidence we have.

Looks great for engagement when everyone is greedily making posts for the most likes though. Just another step towards a golden facade for IPO.
