"Random" is the place where all the content from the Fediverse that couldn't be classified into any other magazine ends up.

Can't be only one who hates "petite" right ? Only see it used to describe (short|small titted) adult women . Specially wen used in NSFW contexts just … bad vibesz all around , don't like its connotations

  • Unnecessarily gendered language describing physical traits anyone can have
  • Tying physical attributes to gender
  • Likens the (short|small titted) adult women to children , creating countless problems itself

Can we just get rid of it already ? Wy hasn't it been dropped by now ?

CLARIFICATION : Only concerned with how it's used in english

@gamer I'm not someone who can barely type , i type this way intentionally

I agree with your post, I find it kinda gross in certain contexts (though I think it is useful in clothing brands, as a person with a short torso only petite shirts fit me). But why do you intentionally type like this, dropping a bunch of random letters and adding others?

I am genuinely very curious to know why. Is it some kind of conspiracy thing?
