(WFRV (https://www.wearegreenbay.com/news/national/no-more-gypsy-moth-insect-has-new-name/)) ? In an attempt to stop using a name deemed derogatory, the ?gypsy moth? is no more and officials have determined a new name for the insect.The Entomological Society of America (ESA) announced (https://entsoc.org/news/press-releases/spongy-moth-approved-new-common-name-lymantria-dispar?fbclid=IwAR1fUzcnJgWRPPeoD2pheThmHByAtSWOg-BV_kKpibHI-DF0ECiUTXMn2J0) that the new name, ?spongy moth,? has been selected for the species Lymantria dispar. It was voted unanimously to approve the addition of spongy moth to ESA?s common names of insects and related organisms list.
This completes a process that reportedly started back in July 2021. ?Gypsy moth? was removed from the list at the time because of its use of the derogatory term for the Romani people, the ESA explains.

Won't be able to talk about or describe anything without somebody getting their feels hurt.

...but that's what the lefties want. Just shut it all down. No dialog. No discussion. No dissent. Just acceptance and adherence.

As a Dominant Left Hand American (DLHA), I take great offence at you lumping me in with people of those politics.

I think you need a three hundred day ban from this and all internet sites, and mandatory classes addressing your overt hatred of everything.

Have you considered a lawsuit against the Left Hand Brewing Company?

Or maybe I should file a suit for them excluding a righty such as myself?

I’m surprised someone gives a rip about the gypsies suddenly. Weird.

Oh FFS



I am so over this section of society that walks around just looking for shit to be offended by.

Just so they can be genuinely offended:

Go fuck yourselves you fuck fuck fucking fucks….

[ray1970]

Be part of the solution, Bert. Not part of the problem.

[TFOGGER]

The biggest issue I see is that someone took it on themselves to be offended on behalf of a group that is basically famous for not giving 2 shits what anyone else thought or said of them...

Gypsies! Reminds me of the story of how the saying " Get your Nut " came from.

In the old days, when traveling bands of Gypsies would go from town to town with thier shows, it was common for the local Sheriff to confiscate an axle nut off of thier wagons and hold it. When it was time to leave, as long as no one was missing a pig, or some other crime committed and the Gypsies were cleared to go, the Sheriff would give the nut back.

I'm generally a nice guy. I try to be polite and not do anything outright offensive. But the more they tell me EVERYTHING is offensive, the more I have the urge to be offensive just to spite them.

It's awfully hard to fight off the spiteful attitude all this nonsense is giving me. I don't want to be that way, but damn.

A woke conundrum?

How will these young woke people be able to go Dutch on a date and be equal without being offensive to the Dutch?

Someone wrote something along that thought a while back.

?Don?t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten.?

Won?t be long until Black Friday is done away with as well.

It will now be known as "A Consumption-Celebration Late-Weekday Of Color"

[Gman]

I'm offended by conspicuous consumption, so the celebration of it is particularly vile and upsetting. Why does it have to be late weekday when it could be pre-weekend or post-holiday? Let's just leave color out of it.
