I agree on the term being wrong. But worse than that, it supports the "It was just a joke" and "You don't have any sense of humor" defense. It's clearly not a joke. It's clearly a silencing tactic but they've taken control of the narrative by getting media to use that word. It reminds me of an article posted in the gender thread some time ago that asked why the rapists get to define what's consent.

That Time the Internet Sent a SWAT Team to My Mom's House | Narratively | Human stories, boldly told.

So a while back, you remember there was some hoax story about a kid getting sent to do real prison time for swatting? There was a picture of a kid being led away crying and stuff.

Well, I wasn't anywhere near a real computer, so I just saw the story and didn't fact check or anything, and I was pretty happy about it.

And I don't know what the hoax part was. Was it supposed to be so ridiculous that someone who intentionally sent angry, armed intruders to someone's home to do violence to them would get a real, no kidding prison sentence?

People go to prison for all kinds of dumb shit all the time, and that is terrible. But the stuff they do is not just dumb shit.

I think this fit in well here ...


https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...-study-n957246


From the linkHeidi Julien, chair of the information sciences department at the University at Buffalo, said the U.S. is facing a profound digital media literacy skills gap that only gets worse among older populations.
[...]

“It’s a national crisis and must be addressed at the federal level,” Julien told NBC News. But, “I don’t think it will be under this administration, which in some ways benefits from these very trends.”

Those here may or may not know that an angry white man terrorist attack killed three at a local festival in Gilroy.

This isn’t quite about that but what happened not long after, as confused information swirled and differing reports of the same person made it sound like there were two gunmen, a Gilroy resident edgelord troll made the smart move of making the joke on social media that he was the gunman and got away with it ahahaha. I mean just a joke guys, ughs you don’t get my cutting sense of humor!

Well, you should know that even the FBI thinks edgelord trolls should get the fuck off your internet as they paid him a visit and ultimately arrested him on an unrelated outstanding warrant.
