    Objectively no reason for that apology.

    They need to apologize for apologizing.

    Whatever dipshits demanded they apologize need to apologize for making the internet a worse place.

      Probably upset someone with influence.

      I remember this art studio I went to posted pictures of a nude statue. And Facebook Karen’s lost their shit because their precious Timmy can’t see a stone tit.

      They took it down and apologized, because Facebook Karen’s make up a bunch of their profits.

      It wast the fat people that got offended. It’s the black people angry that the white kid running the twitter account used AAVE

          Monterey California is not a place where that is common parlance. Californians may not pronounce the T in Monterey, but they definitely pronounce the R in lord

    I thought “thicc” is almost a compliment nowadays.

    It does not equal “obese”, and is more like having thick hips and/or generally being a bit more puffy and cuddly. Which is nice, and Internet appreciates it!

      Not just thicc, even straight up saying “you have a fat ass” has approached compliment territory.

    I laughed and accept that most humor offends someone. I’m sure the offended would get a laugh out of something that I wouldn’t like so I don’t care if they are offended now.

    I’ve begun assuming any culture war rage bait bullshit is just Russian troll farms or their copycats. They poisoned the well on purpose, so I’ve decided to let them drink it instead. It isn’t always going to be accurate, but it’s great for my mental health.

    somehow find it hard to believe they were really offended. it is just another form of satisfying the “being right on the internet” addiction.

    what they don’t realize is there is always someone “holier than thou”. you can for instance easily take “comparing Black women to animals” and give it a completely pointless animal rights twist (its not the animal rights that is pointless it is the twist, saying in case someone tries to cancel me) and ask this person to apologise. it is an endless game.
