While I agree with the message of most of the posts in this community, I must admonish y’all for your gross misuse of a positive word. It’s good to be weird - a weirdo - as the alternative is being normal, and that’s something everybody should strive to avoid.
In fact, I’d argue that most of the people y’all call weirdos are actually normal. And that’s the problem - their shitty behavior is normalized. Co-opting “weird” to use as an insult to normal assholes only corrupts the word without adding anything of value.
It’s like how “literally” is now literally its own antonym. Nobody benefits from that new definition - all it does is cause confusion.
Depends on how you define normal, I guess. I’d rather hang around unusual, eccentric and neurodivergent folks myself. They’re more interesting.
But not all such people like that. Those sort of people are weird. MAGA folks are weird. Big difference.
