Context: A hacker wearing a pink power ranger costume deleted a racist dating website live at the end of their 39c3 talk this year.

Video of the talk (together with two journalists) here: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-the-heartbreak-machine-nazis-in-the-echo-chamber#l=eng

(The link is set to English translation, original talk is in German. Deletion happens around minute 43)

What does your first sentence mean in this reply? That the person you're replying to should be scared of quotes?

    Oh, sorry, is the correct term now "scare quotes"? Websearches were stubborn to pull up a definition for "fear quotes". But since you know scare and fear are synonyms... this should be in reach.

    I coulda swore "fear quotes" was the idiom. Maybe I've slipped along the 6th dimension again, and/or some vast retcon's afoot. n_n

    Anyways, I used scare quotes to denote my distaste for that term, mocking those who are into that kind of thing, highlighting the implausibility of it (being "pure").
