btw if you use the term "fren" i will assume you're a channer nazi

do not use the term "fren"

@haskal wait, it has those connotations??

i don't think i've ever seen it in that light before

birdsite link; general bewilderment (sorry) 

@haskal i mean, i'm really surprised because i know a lot of people who use it who are the farthest thing from channers--they are mostly cutsey people in the same style as netkitty

for example (cw: the word): twitter.com/rowletbot/status/1

and that's also the only way i've ever seen it. what happened to turn it into a nazi thing??

and if that's too much, is there like...a link or something i can look at that explains what happened? (no chan plz)

birdsite link; general bewilderment (sorry) 

@thingywott look up "frenworld"
nazi subreddit that weaponized the term to spread crypto-nazi memes with pepes

no joke. like pepe holding 14 chicken nuggets in front of a clock with both hands pointing to 8

@haskal what the fuck, that's the absolute worst :(

(but thank you for explaining it to me, i really appreciate it)
