I can't, for the love of god, find the damned post and comment that talked about it, no matter how much I look for it.

Where I found it.It was about the same screenshot though, and posted in Lemmy not too long ago (maximum 2 days before this post)

But, like, this is how language works. If you normalize a different meaning to a word, that word loses its previous function. That's what oppressive regimes and cultures do to the most useful linguistic tools of the oppressed.

Short explanationThey use the specific word, to identify and objectify those that use it first, and then co-opt the word and change the useful meaning to something that helps the oppression instead.

Am example is the word "woke", coming from poor African Americans, meaning to keep an eye out for dangerous racists. That word being, over a long period of time, stolen and bastardized by those same racists, and turned into a tool for othering whoever is not part of their cultural group.

So, it definitely works, and it should work better the more secretive the original meaning is.

CSM is a very, very worrying series of capitalized letters to read, not knowing their origin.

Something I recently read that makes 100% sense though is, such dogwhistles gain power if avoided.

You probably should make memes with it, to muddle its meaning, and make it useless for them to identify each other with.

Therefore, you are 50% female. That's it. Nothing else.

After a short read, the case is specifically "Steam is prohibiting developers from selling their games to other platforms, at a price lower than that of steam, and then pockets the 30% platform cost, due to effective monopoly power".

Which, if true, is super bullshit.

I've legitimately had these thoughts. Being raised amab and isolated af growing up, finally found people I legitimately trusted and loved, for the first time after I was 24. The emotional shock was large to say the least.

"Wow, this is what some other people's every day life is? Truly being able to relax around loving people their whole life? That's so much bullshit."

Less memeable, but hey, that's what we've got 😅

My mental illness is a convenient side effect of society's plan to literally weaken its populace for the sake of control and political stability 💕

(It's the God one, just replacing God with the ruling class 🥰)
