@dat_ecosystem not sure if you are aware but "frens" is read by many as an alt right thing at this point in history.
@liaizon @dat_ecosystem i was not aware of this, it is upsetting and will definitely try to look it up. but may i ask why dont people try to reclaim the word from them? why give them it?
TIL :
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fren
ok so 4chan made it a "backronym" for some stupid far right nationalist bullshit , i wish people would not stand for this and instead overwhelm these trolls and take it back, but i am one person. appreciate @liaizon for the info.
@fleeky @dat_ecosystem its suuuuper overused by the crypto alt right hodl bros. It is not savable at this point.
@fleeky @dat_ecosystem you'd have an easier time saving pepe
@fleeky @liaizon @dat_ecosystem
As a linguist I have to say how I personally fight this. I know that many words can have different conotations for different people. But I also know that words are encoded by sender and decoded by a receiver. So, if sender and receiver understand their coding, there is no fear certain word can be taken over. So, watch who is a coding and then decode appropriately.
@ninabreznik @fleeky @dat_ecosystem yall can dig into this all you want. Thats not gonna stop people from seeing a certain word and making associations with the person or account thats using it. Words hold all the contexts they are used in. If the receiver understands that a word can have different meanings and the sender is not aware of those meanings that doesnt make it not cone thru
@liaizon @fleeky @dat_ecosystem yeah, luckily there is always more connotations to almost every word so hopefully people don't focus only on this one and also understand the context, tlwho the sender is etc. Otherwise if we give up words, we might end up silenced and not able to communicate anymore
I will be sure not to use it now.
@lnxw37a2 @dat_ecosystem I feel like it can still be said in the context of kids if your using voice but not with the textual version
@Hyolobrika @dat_ecosystem @lnxw37a2 I never said everyone who uses the word is alt right, just that the term is now very tainted and has a specific reading that is quite common among many.
Is the word "nation" tainted because far right nationalists use it?
"Fren" isn't associated with anything bad, even when they use it. It's just a word they happen to like to use.
