Excuse me, no.
Mar. 31st, 2011 12:06 pmboing-boing just pissed me off with the use of the phrase "Tweets were twatted." Gendered insults are not acceptable, mmkay? I understand the urge to mock tweeting but doing so by saying it comes from female genitalia is unacceptable. Does anyone here have a registered account so they can leave a comment that won't be moderated into oblivion?
eta: Ugh. I registered to comment and I really need to stop looking now because I knew this but of COURSE no one can accept "I was offended. Not everybody was or will be but as a woman, I found it offensive, and I'm not the only one" as a reason to just... stop being offensive. No, it's #OFWF and were offended and somebody's wife thinks it's funny and therefore it's okay.
