Agree. It’s racist, misogynist and ageist. Jeff made the right call.

I’m a POC and I agree. Thanks, Jeff.

Also agree

I’m a POC. And disagree with all of you. It’s literally a common gen x female name.

Comparing a common name to a literal racial slur is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

Agree.

But not surprised since this is DCUM.

The very first sentence that you quoted was, "Of course it doesn’t come close to the N word."

I didn't say it was. I said that you quoted it. In context, your post didn't make sense. Essentially, you said that something none of the quoted posters did was dumb. All of those posters would agree with you, which is why they didn't do it in the first place.

I can’t even type the VP’s wife name here now. Even though it’s a very common name.. .

I don’t remember this when Becky was a thing two years ago.

You clearly didn’t read my post. I said I disagree with the entire quote block.

It is literally a common female name. There’s nothing sexist or misogynist or racist about it.

Comparing a literally racial slur to a very common name is one of the silliest things I’ve seen.

Read the quote next time, they’re agreeing with the first post, which I disagree with.

I have read the quote, but I question whether you did. The quote says, "Of course it doesn’t come close to the N word." You then say, "I disagree". Which means that you do think it comes close to the N word. You further say, "Comparing a common name to a literal racial slur is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen." Yet, none of the quoted posters did that. To the contrary, a poster said the exact opposite. So, in effect, you agree with the first poster, but repeatedly state that you disagree.

Finally, I can think of multiple common names that are racial slurs. Whether you would agree or disagree would probably be a very confusing question given your track record.

What am I missing?

You doing okay?

You are missing these two sentences that you conveniently just left out:

"Of course it doesn’t come close to the N word."

and

"Comparing a common name to a literal racial slur is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen."

The second sentence does not reflect what the first sentence says. Indeed, none of the quoted posts makes the comparison that you consider dumb.

Perhaps your sentence does not clearly reflect what you are trying to say?

I didn’t think I’d have to make it clear what portion of a post I disagree with.

“Of course it doesn’t come close to the N word. But calling a woman a K is a a way of silencing a middle-aged woman. It’s misogyny, pure and simple.“

The first sentence of that first post is common sense so I’m not referring to that. It’s the second sentence in the first post that I’m referring to. I simply disagree. It’s just a name, it’s not sexist, or misogyny, it’s a common female name. Just like Becky was used in the same way a few years back.

Besides, the original tweet in this thread is a joke anyway, it’s just a silly meme made from a obvious fake twitter account.

That’s it. It’s not a big deal.

PP, you don't have to make it clear. These folks are playing dense. When you follow your statement with a but, you negate what you said before the but. Focusing on the "Of course part...," is meaningless because that poster took it back with the next sentence. They do think it is as bad as the N word and so do the following posters.

There are several names that are used in a racist manner. Think of "Sambo", "Aunt Jemima", "Guido", or "Hymie".

For what it is worth, the racial aspect of the "K-word" is not my main objection. It was just the constant over use of it in a derogatory manner. It was just old and boring and reflected poorly on the poster using it. I also blocked "Ok, b**mer" and it doesn't have racial connotations to my knowledge. It was just over used to the extent I was ready to poke my eyes out if I saw it again. These are used by people who lack imagination for a substantive response.
