The comments on that thread are insane. I'm not really sure what I expected but Jesus. They don't even respond to anything in the video, they just repeat Hunter Biden/COVID conspiracies
Twitter is a cesspool.
Obligatory - you should try using mastodon.
But really, you should. People aren't shitty there.
Of course the top response has a bored ape avatar lol
The way MTG says "urban" brings to mind John Mulaney's bit about how the factual word "jews" is the same as the derogatory word "jews," so it just depends on the inflection.
I didn't watch the video but I already know 'urban' is code for 'black people'
Ayep. I wouldn't have given the word a second thought, if she hadn't inflected it so hard that it pretty much has a hard "R" at the end.
