On the one hand, I agree, people don’t always talk in real life the same way they do online. On the other hand, just the mental space where you think “stemremoved” is a normal thing to type is enough of a signal that even if you don’t say it in real life, you probably aren’t the most pleasant person to be around
And I know that things like “stemremoved” are part of 4chan’s culture, and it is normal to say it there… But isn’t active engagement in 4chan’s culture enough of a red flag on its own?
Linguistically and culturally, removed has been integrated into the English vernacular and the connotation isn’t as misogynstic anymore. Stemremoved though? You hear someone pull that one out then thst raises alarms.
Plus, if this is the internal process of someone then I wouldn’t be surprised it bleeds into their every day life, with or without them knowing.
What even funnier to me is how people think this is how he would talk irl.
Just like people jumping on someone for saying something like “removed be trippin”
“MaYbE iF yOu DiDnT rEfEr To ThEm As removed”
Like bruh yeah I’m really out here only using removed to refer to women
