Incredible that 'conservatards' is in there but not 'libtard'. I thought the right was always being censored!

I don't think I have ever seen 'conservatards' before today

First time I heard that word too. Which proves the point /s

People are reading too much into this.

I commented this here for this precise reason. `Libtard` is definitely a word people on the internet use but the other one ive literally never seen before. Someone went out of their way to add one and not the other. I agree though that, ehem, rightoids are supremely sensitive tho.

And it worked! It has been so much censored that neither of us even knew that word.

That is odd. Hadn’t occurred to me.

The author must have bought MAGA edition of the MBP. The AOC edition has 'libtard' in it, surely.

libtard and conservatard are both there on when I tested on my Mac 26.2

I think downvoters may not have realized i was being sarcastic with my second sentence.

It's the exception that proves the rule

figure everyone knows, but since plenty english second language here — prove used to have a "test if passes" meaning, and proving can fail.

two examples:

proving grounds = testing grounds (people know this isn't proof grounds)

proves the rule = tests the rule (people think this is proof, no, also testing)

Just in time for America's ongoing discovery that "liberal" and "conservative" are in fact quite similar ideologies. New insults are called for. I propose "progtard" and "reactard".

Progcels be seething over reactchads.

IRC is that way ->

In fairness, this discussion is about offensive vocabulary.
