ITT people baww at the mere mention of race and gender, and proceed to behave as if the problem is other people being too sensitive about race and gender.

I'm very sorry, but what is ITT and baww?

[–] mysteryname101 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

ITT. In this thread.

Bawww in this context means “cry”

Thanks for the clarification. This is how I find out that I'm old.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Upvoting in solidarity.

What does old mean to you? Maybe you're just not terminally online 😅

.... ITT has been used since early 00s AFAIK (2003 urban dictionary https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ITT). It's possible that it was used before that I just couldn't find any "proof" and can't remember it personally.

The bawwww I just got contextually. Plus sounded out it kinda sounds like someone bawling their eyes out. QQ

Same. I always immediately think of the Fela Kuti track!

I thought ITT was in reference to that technical community college I used to see ads for on tv

This funny story really brought a lot of great accounts out of the woodwork to block!

"I'm sorry you feel that way."

Refusing to accept responsibility for their actions.

You're not kidding. The comments are so much worse than I was expecting.

I had to scroll down to see what you mean. Shocking that people really still don’t understand how privilege works.
