Boring Human :onering: @Julia

@zigg Yay! We need an alternative that we can offer. A few weeks ago I proposed "White Man's Ego" but white men didn't like that ๐Ÿ˜

@Julia @zigg Hah!

"Wimp" is perfectly adequate, and I'm not aware of it being gendered much.

I'd prefer to do away with name-calling altogether, but finding backronyms is just so much fun: White Insecure Man-Prick?

You can go also the other way and accuse people of being Weakly Interacting Massive Particles.

I came up with some others, but they were #NSFW. Urban Dictionary is such fun...

@HerraBRE @zigg Wimp is pretty good. I'll try to remember it because my brain seems to be really set on "testicle" as a substitute ๐Ÿ˜†

@HerraBRE @zigg Exactly! But from my ~discourse~ a few weeks ago I learned that men don't like saying that because... I don't really know. There was a lot of yelling and insulting me and not a lot of making sense.

@Julia @zigg What a load of wimpy pussy-testicles! They should stop being such gonads. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Equal opportunity name-calling, woop woop!

@HerraBRE @zigg Weeeeeell, but one of those things is still a lot stronger than the others ๐Ÿ˜

@Julia
The fact that some white men didn't like it just proves how appropriate it is. :) Let's go with it.
@zigg

@hollyamory That is actually a very good point ๐Ÿ˜†
Okay! "White Man's Ego" is a go!
