      “Digital blackface?” Get a fucking grip

        The term, originally spelled “thick,” dates back to the 90s and was used in black culture in reference to women, Dictionary.com says.

        Can we stop this “black culture” bull shit too? At this point, it’s just American culture. Why are we segregatting a questionably sexist term now?

        Stop categorizing every little thing as “black” or “white”. An American started the term for a specific purpose, and Americans still use it today with a broader application.

          Honestly, it’s not even sexist anymore. I’ve seen it used to refer to men almost as often as women.

          How about “thick” and “thicc” being 2 separate terms and having different origins?

          Why should they relate? I’ve only ever heard “thicc” being used on the internet.

            how would you be able to tell the difference in spoken language?

              You can absolutely tell the difference because “thicc” comes with gesticulations indicating the outer bounds of the x-axis of the subject’s frame

                Furthermore, additional C’s and/or spaces between each letter requires the gesticulations to include the outer bounds of the Y-axis

              Cause you’d say “Thick with 3 C’s”
