They like being bad, though. Bad is like Darth Vader.

I think we're mature enough to recognize that weird (quirky) and weird (lingers around children) are different things.

Yeah no, please don't associate weird with bad things more than it already is. Weird people have enough problems already without having to deal with negative wording.

You know you can just not call them weird, right?

Loudly and proudly: Tourette's is normal; it's just a condition you can have, who cares.
With gusto: Mandatory genital checks in the highschool girl's locker room is weird.

Yeah, I can, but others will not. Words are important, do I really have to explain inclusive language on Lemmy?
