Reply to comment by Clinically-Inane in AG: Police shot and killed teenager allegedly armed with knife in Gilford | New Hampshire Public Radio by ACOdysseybeatsRDR2

Wow you're really doubling down on that emotionally charged language, and reeeeeeally leaning into strawmans.

I understand it's difficult for some to understand how loaded language can be used to subconsciously imply bias or propaganda for various purposes.

Let's try this: These two statements are factually the same event but give two different views of an event:

>4 children slaughtered in streets after school by illegal assault rifles

>4 gang members dead following release from prison for rape and sex tracking, get into shootout over drug dealing territory one evening.

I know you "can't picture" things, but do these resonate differently with you?

I understand plenty about how seriously language can affect perception, and you’re in the wrong place if you think I give any fucks about your insults to my intelligence. “This is all sooooooo emotionally charged, please fetch my fainting couch! I simply CAHNT GO ON, it’s TOO MUCH EMOTION and I cahnt even think straight!” 😪

~”Child” has a simple meaning

~The technical and typical usage means “not an adult” and/or “under 18”

Good night

Judging your very angry response and refusal to answer my question, I sincerely doubt this. Good night!
