Lemmy news is a cesspit from a post POV but other than that shrug

I think there are more straight shooters here, could be dude just had bad takes.

It is too easy to accidentally downvote.

Straight shooters is a wiggle word to say asshole who doesn't care about others feelings.

[–] PuppyOSAndCoffee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

why do you say that?

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it is? The term used to mean someone who is honest and upfront about things but toxic assholes co-opted the term as a way to excuse bad behavior.

It's used infrequently enough that it's not as obvious, but it's a huge red flag for someone to say "I'm a straight shooter".
