I could see it if they were saying don't be all "BP is my nigga!' but saying 'bae' is racist now? The sensitivity goalpost has moved since I've last been on tumblr.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT but like

it's one thing to disagree on where you should specifically draw the line, with regards to the language that's objectionable

but people are reacting like the entire concept is the end of civilization

it seems disproportionate

[(Anonymous)]

Bae is black slang. A lot of black people view white people using it as appropriation.

[(Anonymous)]

Language policing. Words for me but not for thee? Screw that noise. It's part of popular culture. Once slang gets out into the wild anyone can use it.

[(Anonymous)]

How do you feel about the n-word?

[(Anonymous)]

Which n-word? Grownups say what they are talking about.

[(Anonymous)]

Unless slaveowners were whipping black people and calling them 'bae' then no it doesn't have the same connotation as nigger.

[(Anonymous)]

Anon's arguing that this is true for all words

[(Anonymous)]

I cannot even say how strongly I disagree with the concept Anon's pushing right now.

Words that were used as insults/to oppress? Sure, I follow the rule that says 'if you aren't that thing then you shouldn't say that thing.' Anything else? Fuck it, welcome to the English language.

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck it, welcome to the English language.

Seriously. Like, have you met English? The language that figuratively chases other languages down dark alleys to steal their vocabulary?

[(Anonymous)]

+1

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, please. Bae isn't used to hurt or diminish people.

[(Anonymous)]

Bae is used to make me cringe. So OK, ban it!

[(Anonymous)]

Let's ban cinnamon roll and smol achillean beans while we're at it. I don't know if it's racist but it sounds vaguely racist to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Using it in the same context as the original group uses it isn't appropriation. It's just how language works. And heck, even if it WAS appropriated, so what? It's just an affectionate term, not something sacred and untouchable.

Also, again, forgetting that other races exist.

You know what I love?

How just one day someone was all like "U MEAN WHITE PEOPLE STOP USING THE HAND CLAPPY THING IN BETWEEN EACH WORD THAT'S RACIST"

I was literally like "????"

I had no idea the origin of that (frankly silly) meme-ish style was apparently a black woman clapping in tune to her words.
