Imagine it was called lit.cooking. Would you still denigrate the language as if it was other? What would that say about your bigotry?

I'm about 60% sarcastic here btw



1. I have no idea what I’m supposed to associate with your “imagine” scenario. I associate “lit” with drunk or high, but I doubt that’s what you meant?

2. I didn’t denigrate anything, I asked what something meant.

3. My... bigotry? Excuse me but what? I didn’t recognize a slang term.

4. I’m not gonna guess which 60% was sarcastic. But more than that was defensive.

5. To the extent it was important and valuable to me to have it identified, I couldn’t care less about “othering” a group of people that have murdered people I care about and expressed wanting me and my loved ones dead. Yep you read between the lines, I’m biased against people who want to do violence against me and my loved ones. What a fucking revelation.

6. I wish a cooking site could be something that doesn’t attract this bullshit. But since it can’t. How fucking dare you call me a bigot.

7. Edit: I’m 0% sarcastic here, I don’t need to put up a facade to be sincere.


I don't know what community "lit" signals. But fascism is bad. It isn't a problem to treat fascist communities differently than other communities.
