What do you meaaan? I have been using it innocently only, why would it be non innocent? Plz dont take fren from me, it sounds so cute.

If the word fren is not fren, why is it fren-shaped?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago

Don't worry. The common meaning is friend. Everyone knows. Just like smol snek etc.

There are a lot of words that also have a bad meaning. A lot depends on context.

Lmao, by that logic you wouldnt be able to use any 3-5 letter words because every one of those probably has some acronym associated with it, that means something bad.

I don't think Nazis are actively using every acronym, c'mon you know that's silly.

They use this one though.

It's like saying 1844 isn't a bad number, because numbers aren't bad—unfortunately more often than not, when you see it, it's not used innocently.

And context usually gives away whether something is being used innocently or not.

Don't assign moral values to words or numbers. Those things are morally neutral. Look at how they're being used and the context surrounding their use then use that to determine the morality of the individual using them on a case by case basis.

Fuck all the way off with your newspeak bullshit

I didn't come up with this, they did

I would love this to not be the case, but it's just naïve to ignore the reality of the shitheads that are out there

Their whole thing is existing in the grey area between harmony and incongruity

I have literally never run into that until now. That seems like a dog whistle pitched so high, not even rodents can hear it.
