huh? that’s weird
Watch your language.
“Just like “cis”, “weird” will be censored on xitter”

“XXXXX Al” Yankovic in shambles
Oooo… I looove the guy but, I dunno that I can watch a xxxx rated porno with him in it, not at our age. 😬
I would 100% watch something Weird Al starred in, billed as porn. You just know it was subversive and brilliant!
just him slapping a ham rhythmically for an hour solid, staring unblinkingly into the camera with an expression that grows progressively more unhinged
Oh yeah! Oh yeah you dirty little thing you! You like that? Uh huh! accordion noises intensify
Idk, I’ve always thought he was kinda hot.
I gotta say, they found a VERY good photo to represent “guy who says slurs”.
On the other hand, that’s a pretty rough looking 27 year old. He looks like a 60s something bro who never stopped lifting.
65 year old guy who retired and discovered anavar.
That dude is 27?! I have no idea who it is, but damn, someone chose the hard road.
It’s satirical. The article isn’t real.
Yes! I can absolutely believe this as a guy who drops the n word in casual conversation then acts surprised when people cringe and leave the event he’s ruining.
The guy can also perfectly imitate the look of an AI generated person!
The “adidas” logo and text on his shirt being perfect is especially impressive.
It’s not AI. This is a real photo of a guy sitting in a real chair. The background is clearly shopped because the lighting doesn’t match, but I assume that’s for the esthetic.
They probably dressed up a guy to model for them; I really hope he doesn’t look like this at other times
Weird is the absolute least offensive term anyone can be saddled with. If it bothers you that much you got more problems than just being weird.
That’s why it’s the best term to use against these people. People who are “good weird” accept it. “Bad weird” people are bothered by it. There are probably better words to describe these people but weird is working.
Gotta say, the left is running an excellent campaign! Really tuned in to the online stuff
I found offence to him calling the republicans weird!
Its disrespectful to weirdos like myself!
They’re “stay away from your creepy uncle weird”, not “quirky weird”.
Fascism is based on authoritarian ideas. “I’m right, you’re all wrong, no matter what.”
Our brains are hardwired for social cohesion. The idea that we are the outgroup absolutely terrifies us.
Being called “weird” is a fascists worst nightmare.
I’m too weird to be able to understand why they find the term offensive.
Because there’s good weird types, and there’s bad weird types.
They know they are in the bad weird category.
Anyone not conforming to their rigid set of ideals is weird to them, making it always mean bad weird.
because they’re incredibly fragile
Because it’s being used against their idol.
He’s one of those guys where every photo looks like a mugshot.
That’s a haggard looking 27 year old.
When you throw insults left and right you age fast. Friction and pressure are not good for the skin and hair
what the hell did i miss with this weird thing why is everyone talking about weird
First, let us all bask in the beautiful position you are in of not being up to date on American politics.
mmm. That’s nice, I miss this.
Now: The Democrats have taken off running. President Biden withdrawing from the race, the de facto and now official nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris and then her choice of running mate in Minnesota governor Tim Walz have all proven more popular than anticipated, and among all this the Democrats have started calling the Republicans “weird” and also “creepy.” And this seems to have struck a nerve on the right.
It seems to have actually punched through that their policies of defunding libraries, shutting down schools, killing doctors, waiting until birth to murder infants, checking children’s genitals before allowing them to go to the bathroom and on and on it goes are absolutely not normal.
Calling them “deplorable” or “dangerous” or “a threat” doesn’t have the same effect because those sound badass to them. “Look, our enemies are scared of us.” A group that is as conformist as the American right can’t revel in being called “weird” anywhere near as effectively.
Majority report just did a good take on how they are weird because they don’t know how weird they come off with their crazy.
“Mr. Walz offered an inversion of that old Radiohead single at his introductory rally on Tuesday night. “These guys are creepy, and yes, just weird as hell,” he smilingly charged. From his mouth the word comes across as a somewhat spicy Midwestern revision of the coastal freakout, common during the Trump presidency, that almost every day was “not normal.”

The nuance is a little off. It’s not that they have a problem with the word, but the fact that people are using it against them. But they can totally use it against people they don’t like. That’s fine.
Diamond Dallas Page?
The Onion joke, but we all know it’s coming…
It’s a satire site already. It’s shocking how many people here seem to not understand that. It’s so obvious because they say the guy is 27 but the picture is of someone in their 50s. Hell even just look at the sub.
People desperately need to develop better critical eyes, especially when it confirms your belief.
The Onion joke, but
I think it’s you who desperately need to develop better reading comprehension skills.
What’s the onion joke then?
English isn’t your first language is it?
Can’t explain it, huh?
I could but you wouldn’t understand the point,so what is the point in trying?
The W-word.
