One thing that still bugs me about that whole watertok controversy a little while ago was when people were criticizing the semantics of whether or not the drinks could still be called “waters” after adding all the syrups and powders, soooo many people were like “omg words MEAN something. That is NOT water. It’s like, juice ✌️” like wtf no it’s not juice either lmao. There was literally no juice in those things. Like personally I wouldn’t call them water either, maybe a mocktail or something I guess, I don’t really care, but if people making the whole “words mean something” argument and then supplying an alternative word that was arguably MORE WRONG, then I don’t really think they actually cared about the ~word meanings~ as much as they said?? Like sure there were some good constructive critiques about the nature of the trend and all but I think some people were kinda just getting on their high horse for no reason other than to feel superior about some trend they didn’t care about lol

#like at least the main ingredient was water. there was no juice lol #and like. I also don’t care if people wanted to call it juice tbh #my issue was more the people making a BIG DEAL over WORD MEANING and #how they thought calling it water was SOOOOO WRONG AND STUPID #and then just. said something less accurate hddjcjbffbgnfbfbf it’s about the attitude #the superiority complex of it all #like even when you go to the store a lot of juices say jucie drink on the label #not just juice. bc of all the extra stuff in em #granted there’s still some juice in those #but water + flavor powder + flavor syrups. where’s the juice. tell me right now.#anyway. this doesn’t matter either it just bothered me!!!!#I also don’t use tiktok so I just hear about stuff thru the pensé of YouTube and people posting here
