I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.
I hear the word “freak” in movies and it rubs me the wrong way. Not because it’s bad but it’s because people don’t call each other that IRL. It’s only an insult in movies. It’s weird.
Might just be where you’re from. People definitely use freak as an insult irl.
I still hear it, just not as commonly these days. Personally I decided to enjoy hearing it applied to myself; that means I’m on the right path.
You want to be a freak?
Much more interesting than being “normal”, if I had to choose
We said it a lot in the 90s
Early 00’s definitely used that term a lot, too. It sounds cringy now because it’s outdated.
I think it’s very interesting to go back and look at those movies. Many words were used that are not allowed today. :)
Even Seinfeld has jokes that would upset some people today.
Yeah, I mean, I kinda feel like it’s fair now to admit that Seinfeld kinda sucked the whole time.
