Like imagine going to a pride parade and you see some twink u never met and be Iike, “hey colleague! How’re u? How’s the bottom job position working for you?”

“Colleague”… That’s a funny word…

    This post was reported for being offensive. Its hard to know what is offensive to all groups of people. “Colleague” is a pretty innocuous term and “twink” seems to be context dependent. It doesn’t seem obviously derogatory in this context, “you see some dude” feels similar. I won’t take action for now. I’m very open to feedback, being wrong, and learning. Thanks all.

      I don’t think it’s offensive. It just seems to be a bad shower thought. OP shouldn’t feel bad for having it but should feel bad for sharing it.

        I’m a mod, so the latter. I want the reporters to know they are heard, but also I tend to be slow to take action.

          You mean by deleting old, totally innocuous posts like a week after they posted it? What rule I broke I don’t know. Don’t much feel “heard” as a user

          Good luck with your sub
