In their defence, Abby is kind of thicc.
Objectively no reason for that apology.
They need to apologize for apologizing.
Whatever dipshits demanded they apologize need to apologize for making the internet a worse place.
They definitely should’ve put more thought into it before typing “internetism”, but still no reason for an apology.
i think saying internetism is a reason for apology
I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium. 😋
Same! One of the best in the state!
It’s otter awareness week, so I guess it’s working.
I don’t think that the otter minds being called thicc.
Who was the apology for exactly?
Apology was for people offended by an aquarium using teen slang to connect with today’s youth.
If only they cared that much about kids getting shot
The aquarium ?
Otters have been shooting kids
it’s not “teen slang”, it’s AAVE
One is and one is not
Chloe is determined to be offended on someone else’s behalf today tho
Truly a tragedy.
If I understand it, it ain’t teen slang.
“Digital blackface?” Get a fucking grip
The term, originally spelled “thick,” dates back to the 90s and was used in black culture in reference to women, Dictionary.com says.
Can we stop this “black culture” bull shit too? At this point, it’s just American culture. Why are we segregatting a questionably sexist term now?
Stop categorizing every little thing as “black” or “white”. An American started the term for a specific purpose, and Americans still use it today with a broader application.
How about “thick” and “thicc” being 2 separate terms and having different origins?
Why should they relate? I’ve only ever heard “thicc” being used on the internet.
Honestly, it’s not even sexist anymore. I’ve seen it used to refer to men almost as often as women.
Maybe they just realized that it was extremely cringy.
I’ve begun assuming any culture war rage bait bullshit is just Russian troll farms or their copycats. They poisoned the well on purpose, so I’ve decided to let them drink it instead. It isn’t always going to be accurate, but it’s great for my mental health.
