What gives you the authority, intellectual or otherwise, to describe folk etymology as "nonsense", or to decree whether someone is "entitled to a more gentle correction"?

I don't need authority to decide what an appropriate mode of interaction in various settings is. The same way you don't need to be invested by any authority to decide you're the scourge of the western academic. You can just do that and weird everyone out in the process.

And as we've already established, I was mirroring what members of the actual culture of origin described it as.

Being correct about something is no excuse to be an asshole. This is why I don't like you white academics.

Who was I an asshole to?

It's not your culture so do be respectful about "correcting" it as a white, or do kindly shut up.

I will, as ever, do what I think is best.

Who was I an asshole to?

Individualism yet again.

decide what an appropriate mode of interaction in various settings is.

Ok so you switched from chauvinistically making normative statements about folk entymology being objectively "nonsense", to, when asked about what "authority" you have to make such arrogant claims, "that's just how I talk in this setting bro".

The same way you don't need to be invested by any authority to decide you're the scourge of the western academic.

That's too grandiose, I'm not unky ted. And not "western academics" in general JFL reading comprehension not found.

You can just do that and weird everyone out in the process.

Being a normie is overrated.

I was mirroring what members of the actual culture of origin described it as.

You, as a white person, only get to cite their descriptions as such and nothing more. We addressed this earlier.

"I will, as ever, continue being a rude, condescending cracker."

Ok.

And yet, I did otherwise.

Aaaand now we're going to go into more debate perversion about the definition of proper citation methods and timelines to avoid the fact that your 2nd post was literally just you calling the lore "nonsense" without any such descriptive receipts included within. Good job buddy boyo, way to weasel your way out of this one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd be very interested to know what constitutes your definition of lore, actually.

"akshually, lets feed my debate perversion by nitpicking the definition of muh lore so I can bog everything down with my academic convolutions and word games to move further and further away from facing the fact that I was flippantly being a condescending and dismissive white asshole"

:smuglord:

JFL nice try, Jack, but not a chance, go have a wank somewhere else.

Is it possible to move further and further away from things that don't exist?

This kind of thing is why I prefer Laozi.

Indeed, to taste the Vinegar and find sweetness, what a man he was. His teachings should be remembered for 10,000 years at least.
