But there is a satisfying FAFO aspect to this.

Fuck around and find out.

Basically a vulgar way to say that if you do something very stupid, don’t be surprised when something bad happens.

Very vulgar and tbh very beaten, redneck level childish expression mostly used overtly in bullshit reactions with almost zero regard to the context.

I mean yeah it's mostly used by meatheads who get excited that somebody got punched, regardless of context...but I'm not exactly clutching my pearls at the use of a gasp bad word.

Dunno why that got down voted even though it agrees with and elaborates on the comment I replied to.

It is just a statement. I didn't even urge, encourage or request anybody to stop using that, so not even pressing on the toes of anybody except really insecure people like the other commenter on your level.

Hell, it is used by those insecure people who can't handle a criticism about their beliefs, usually in context where the subject is women, minorities, people living difficult lives, people enjoying crazy shit harming no one (else), rebellious populations that are directly or indirectly fucked by the colonialism.and fight back with whatever they have, even if it looks primitive in the face of their adversaries firepower.

And here I am making just one criticism about the use of a word that has almost become the Reddit's "this" in Lemmy political environments, and I'm the one clutching pearls or being insecure.

No kidding. As “that guy” who is siding with Apple on this ….. seems like they’re playing with fire

This might also be a LAMF moment.
