I think "scary weird" is an excellent clarification.

ChronosTriggerWarning OP ,

I heard it as if you’re fine being called weird, you’re the good weird. If you fight being called weird, then you’re weird weird.

i dont think now is the time to be muddying the waters. conservatives dont need the assist, youre just giving them an out

ChronosTriggerWarning OP ,

Do they accept being called weird? I think you give them entirely too much credit… but that’s just my opinion.

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

no, they absolutely dont. giving them an option of 'good weird' is going to derail that

ChronosTriggerWarning OP ,

I get that. I don’t think they’re capable of that level of self reflection. To them, weird is BAD. It’s being a part of the “out” group, which is anathema to them.

5C5C5C ,

I think the point is that Republicans detest the idea of being weird no matter what, so they would rage at the suggestion of being a good weird anyway. To them “good weird” is an oxymoron, even though they are actually very weird and not in any kind of good way.

yeah that makes sense. i was envisioning them attempting to 'own' it by jumping into 'good weird' with both feet.

but as someone else pointed out also, thats prolly giving them too much sefl-aware credit

Rhynoplaz ,

They’ve been bullying the good weirdos for decades, there’s no backtracking now!

eestileib ,

I get to call myself weird. You don’t get to call me weird.

That’s how this goes.

ChronosTriggerWarning OP ,

I’m not calling anyone that doesn’t fantasize about their daughter or fuck living room furniture weird.

li10 ,

I like when people call me weird, means they’re comfortable saying it like it’s no big deal.

This is the goal for how I want people to view me tho

Creepy weird vs quirky weird

InputZero ,

Came here to say that. Quirky weird is wanting to wear a propeller hat as an adult because it’s fun and no one can tell you no. Creepy weird is wanting to wear a propeller hat to predate on children. They are not the same.

There is Portlandia weird, and then there’s “I want the government to track your menstrual cycles” weird.

ChronosTriggerWarning OP ,

Exactly!

Sam_Bass ,

The different kinds of weird get lumped together in the media though

ChronosTriggerWarning OP ,

And that’s why i hope to clarify.

No. There is not a distinction. We’ve been working for decades to make weird okay. Fuck them for throwing us under the bus.

ChronosTriggerWarning OP ,

Weird is okay! It’s them freaking out at being called weird that’s actually, well, weird.

I bet Austin is having a blast with this shenanigans.

I guess when I hear people derisively calling someone gay, I just think to myself, “They mean the bad kind of gay, they’re not talking about me.”

Mouselemming ,

Like, uppity gay?

ChronosTriggerWarning OP ,

Yeah, kinda like that gay pride image of Putin. It’s mocking him and his draconian views of gay people, not gay people themselves.

Boo Radley weird vs Bob Ewell weird

Senseless ,

Some of both I guess.

Mouselemming ,

Are you fascinated with the menstrual cycles of strangers? You want to look into the underwear of everyone before letting them into the public bathroom? You so grossed out by other people’s consensual sex practices you want to take away their civil rights? You want trans children to cower in fear, and all the children to be surrounded by guns? You want women to know their place and shut their mouths? And black people to stick to menial jobs so you can kick all the brown people out of the country?

Or are you normal weird, i.e. partly fun weird and partly sad weird?

Sumocat ,
@Sumocat@lemmy.world avatar

There are those who sing “I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo,” and those who claim to be “the opposite of weird.”

BugleFingers ,

That entirely depends on YOU

All I can say is I’m not a bad person (I’d like to think)

Sanctus ,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

If you like the word you’re the good kind. If it offends you, well, you’re weird.

ChronosTriggerWarning OP ,

Ding ding ding! That’s how i see it too.

terminhell ,

Yes
