Not to be mean but if you have ask these questions, I don’t think you actually paid any attention to what black people are saying when you see the AAVE discourse and it set you off in a completely unpredictable and frankly unnecessary way - like black teens are the ones leading the discourse for one

One example off the top of my head - a black early 20 something who noticed that white people kept calling “unc” (a very particular type of title) despite him fulfilling none of the requirements for that title and him realising they do this other black men and NEVER any other white people - which means they stereotype them in real time.

Sometimes I just get mad out of thin air by remembering AAVE discourse. Such an obvious and pointless exercise in spreading misery. "Hey, you know how people learn new words through repeated exposure? Yeah that's bad now. Racist even. Hope this helps."

Like, sure, some people do imitate AAVE (badly) for the purpose of mocking black people. That's a real thing, and it is bad. But then people get truly enraged at teenagers for not even realizing something is AAVE, so like, they can't even pretend that this is about mocking black people.

Except the entire issue is the fact that people who are definitely NOT IN AT ALL and have negative black friends are doing it and that how the language gets so heavily distorted.

I think you would have a problem if you spoke a language and then you discover that a bunch of people are speaking it wrong to sound more “interesting” and now people think that’s how it spoken and all in the span of like a month - that’s not how language works, a small portion of another demographic should not be able to rewrite the understanding of words that entire population speaks in popular consensus. It is very a selective process that is almost exclusively happening to ONE population.

Also you keep saying teens like a separate category as if black teens are the most affected by it?

Either way black people are just kind of being brutally ignored when they provide the correct usage and when they point incorrect usage so…

A crucial aspect that is not being mentioned is that these phrases only enter the lexicon of non black people from active attempts to imitate black people (that’s where the racism comes in), doing it poorly and then getting the incorrect versions immortalised as “teen lingo”

So imagine being a black american and having everyone pretend to talk like you do and then everyone a year later talks about how a word you have used forever is so “cringe - how did they even come up with that?”

for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the “question only a human can answer” which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?

"hey, bobby, ginger's kid came out to her as non-binerary! can you believe it?"

"non-binary."

"huh? wha? what'd i say?"

"you said 'non-binerary.' the word is non-binary."

"right. non-byrony."

"oh my god"

People make a lot of good "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" posts about like school bullies or homework or puberty. But actually my #1 top of the "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" list is the fact that I can leave the event when I want to.

Any event I'm at! I can say "okay well I'm tired I'm going home goodbye." Could not do that shit as a kid. If you're a kid it's like yeah you will sit here at your brother's soccer game in the cold for the next 1.5 hours. You will sit here at your sibling's football practice. You will stay at this BBQ until the whole family is done with the BBQ. You are stuck at the mall until mom finds the pants she needs. You are stuck at the grocery store. No we don't know how long. You are stuck at band practice. It's running late but you're not allowed to leave. You are stuck at the party that the adults said you're leaving soon but they keep talking to these 2 people who showed up late. What the Fuck.

And that shit is on top of having homework.
