Ohh I remember being the only one with their camera off while people spoke this kinda crap too!
Now in a new job that doesn't have meetings. At all. I think our manager protects us from them. Or perhaps he protects the rest of the company from us?

I always put a shirt when on company calls — I wouldn't trust the camera not suddenly turning on (or myself — not turning the camera on by accident).
Not pants tho — they are staying in the closet.
Leaning into the old because I refuse to use “reclaimed” incel 4chan speak
I witnessed the cesspits from whence that shit fomented, back in the days of gamergate, and will not touch it with a 100 foot pole.
The comic looks more like a Sharty work, given its use of traced elements.
Its just knowing what things mean. The people who talk like this usually have no idea where this shit comes from.
Its not even being old its just being aware. If only they knew
I'm fully aware, this comic is the demonstration of why I do it. I try to get all the white women in my life to also because that inflicts extra psychic damage to a certain kind of person
The writers of Superman comics did something similar to the KKK back in the day
Ooh interesting, what do you mean by the 4chan speak? Is it the maxxing thing?
These terms were originally heavily used as heavy right wing 4chan terms, largely circulating in hate circle jerks (which is like 50% of 4chan anyways). Largely associated with millenial incel culture.
Gen Z proceeded to take these terms and parody the fuck out if them, effectively mocking incel culture and turning it into a huge joke. Thus then became mainstream and its largely acted as a very successful humiliation tactic towards the hateful groups.
Think stuff like all the "chad" memes but applying it to silly stuff, like intense cuts of a random chair or a porta-potty, x-pilled terms, etc.
All their terms have been mocked into oblivion, you cant really use the terms without just sounding like a gen z meme now.
An example of when millennials did a similiar thing was mocking the shit out of gen x biker/trucker hyper masculine culture and turning it into an ironic joke. IE the skeleton "my body is a machine that turns x into y" jokes, or ironic memes of edgy skeletons/wolves/etc. Three moons shirt, those things.
10/10, I fucking love how culture can do stuff like this over time lol
“Maxxing,” “mogging,” “-pilled.” Amongst many others. I’ve even seen this language on billboards and the seepage of sewage into the mainstream is mind-boggling.
Then again those stupid psyop fucks infiltrated Xitter, tumblr, etc. over a decade ago.
Chud-speak is funny to people because of how absurd it is, that's why it's penetrated so deeply into mainstream culture
Is that where spelling goes to die? People were 'maxing' their caffeine decades before whatever vapid influencerati re-coined the badly-written version. I still am not sure it was spelled wrong knowingly.
I am glad that when I did a team shuffile I was left out of team meetings so now I have no meeting at all.
Zoom meetings feel like a farce created by a demon to slowly extract our souls from our bodies over the span of years. That would explain why I’m so tired after “meeting-heavy” days.
