I also can't help but think of pedo when I see it. I am pretty knew to the movement but if I didn't know any better, it would have really turned me away. Even looking into the origins of it, it still seems a bit retarded. Willing to have my mind changed, but every time I see it, I cringe.
It’s old school from the Reddit Donald days.... people used it for years as a way of saying “friend” ...it came from the word centipede...maybe somebody else can explain that part better. I use it in posts, I’m not going to not use it because I earned 7 years worth of stripes on the old Reddit but I understand if you don’t use it... each to his own but free speech rules here
LARP more
absolutely it does
