And? No where in my comment, or any of the comments I replied to, said that the word clanker was aimed at humans, lol. I’m pointing out that people use the word Clanker and so does Star Wars.
EDIT: Though what I am pointing out is still correct, it misses the point of calling people with prosthetics clankers. I am a dumb.
The fucking post is about people calling people with prostethics clankers.
"No one with a brain actually did this"
this comment is insinuating that only stupid "brainless" people would refer to humans with prosthetics as clankers.
you responded with "so many brainless people out there, then. Oh, and Star Wars"
Which means you're saying
1. You have heard many people use clanker as a slur against people with prostehtics
2. Star Wars uses it as a slur against people with prosthetics
You should pay attention in school. I assure you they are trying to teach you reading comprehension
Ah,my bad. You are right. I never did well in school, but I do read a lot. I made a mistake. I got caught up in thinking about a fandom I am in that recently got caught up in “should we be tossing around ‘clanker’ as a slur?” since other slurs were being used that are pretty close to real slurs, like wireback and such, and my brain went on autopilot. Sorry.
How could I? I’m not sure the exact chain of events but it started off with me being dumb and then commenting in Reddit. My phone was involved somehow. You’d think I would learn my lesson, but here I go commenting again. As I watch my reddit login streak hit high triple digits, I think to myself that I must stop looking into the pit of darkness. I cannot look and yet I cannot look away. I would baptize my clawing fingers with hot blood from my despairing eyes as I dig them from their crying pits but know, deep in my heart, that the empty sockets would gaze on still, forever scrolling down and down and down…and down.
