Language is a tool for communication. It requires interpretation.

A hammer is a tool for putting nails into things, if you hammer your finger with it instead, you're doing it wrong.

Every person in this thread who objects to the use of the word is proof on its face that this person has at least nicked their finger on the way down.

    More crying over a word. Wow, interesting dialogue we’re having instead of talking about society we get to hear you whine about a word. Good talk lemmy, real fun.

    Considering the argument hinges on whether "skinny" applies equally to the person and the sketch? Kind of a vital point.

    Also? Bitching and moaning about artstyles being problematic? Not my definition of fun, but you do you.
