I was wondering the same thing. I think I see what he's getting at but toxic is not just a social media trend buzz word.

Sure. You said one thing, got called out, and switch sides quick. Again, what does “did they have a gun to their heads?” Mean? Why would you ask that? This is rhetorical btw

As for the gun comment, it was in regards to the topic of personal responsibility, the topic you seem keen on dodging

Agreed. The term toxic has always existed. But the context in which it's used now is to describe a notion or institution that offends you or which you deem problematic. That's effeminate imo. That label is something women throw around.

Beacons of social justice are throwing it around, not just women
It's being used for more than that today, its used to represent anything that stands in the way of someones perceived view of social justice
Ex. Anything that denies women justice is "toxic"

I don't think that's how it's used. It's used to describe a self-centered, bratty adult that is not well adjusted and causes emotional trauma to others. It's not just something that people find offensive. Family members, partners and friends can be toxic. You may see women use it a lot but it's a valid description.
I wouldn't group it with terms like "throwing shade, drug, pick me" etc. Now those I'd consider feminine terms. Any man that uses that probably watched housewives of _____.
Everyone uses the word but very few consider the impacts:
‘Toxic’ is Oxford Dictionaries’ 2018 word of the year.
When a word becomes this popular, its true meaning becomes distorted in favor of how it makes people "feel" - a "buzzword" like you said.
A buzzword is a word or phrase, new or already existing, that becomes very popular for a period of time. Buzzwords often derive from technical terms yet often have much of the original technical meaning removed through fashionable use, being simply used to impress others.
It does a disservice to the definition of the word and the conversation as a whole.
There is a reason therapists / professionals don't use these words, as they are held to a much higher standard than the general public
"Ignore all adjectives. When one of my clients says someone in their life is selfish, or cold, or hot-tempered, it doesn’t tell me much about the problem. Adjectives are not facts.
That’s especially true of “toxic,” an adjective that’s become increasingly popular in and outside of my office (it was even the Oxford Dictionaries’ word of the year in 2018. It’s also easily overused — a way of reframing a difficult relationship as one not worth having.
So when I have a therapy client who uses “toxic” to describe someone, I don’t ask them to clarify, or to reconsider the word. Instead, I focus on the facts of the challenging situation they’re telling me about.
People use all sorts of words to describe their relationships. But when you sit with people long enough, you begin to see how wildly these descriptions will fluctuate based on their mood. We tend to feel more threatened by others on days we feel anxious, and we tend to be more forgiving on days we feel confident or hopeful. We love to hear that our feelings are valid, but I think another question is more important: Are these feelings useful?"
Also,
Some folks are extremely adept at labeling. Buzzwords are just one of the tools they employ to that end.
Labels keep the focus on others, not ourselves
When you feel threatened by another person, you tend to invest a great amount of energy focusing on them. You might scroll through their social media, quiz other friends and family, or flip through your own memories, looking for reasons to justify your belief that they’re toxic. What I call “other-focus” often leads to increased sensitivity to the other person’s behaviors — meaning that it takes less and less for you to feel disgusted, annoyed, or afraid of them.
It’s much more productive to take that other-focus and flip it back onto yourself. Instead of organizing people into toxic and non-toxic categories, think about how you want to respond to specific behaviors. Let me give you some examples.
Other-focus: She’s terrible for expecting me to pay for everything.
Self-focus: I will not become responsible for other people’s finances.
Other-focus: He’s toxic because he’s verbally abusive on the phone.
Self-focus: I will set the appropriate boundaries when others use harmful language with me.
Other-focus: My mother is hateful when I disagree with her about politics.
Self-focus: I will decide when it is important to share my beliefs, when I should change the subject, or when I should leave the conversation.
Again, whether the labels are true or false isn’t the point. When you have principles about how you should act in human relationships, especially when you feel harmed, used, or misunderstood, you’ll never have to decide whether a person is “toxic” or not.
Having these principles also helps you maintain strong relationships with the people you love. It’s a lot harder to stand up to a romantic partner who’s making unreasonable demands, than it is to a coworker you’re not emotionally invested in. But by staying focused on who you want to be, and what you’re willing to do and not do, you’re less likely to focus your energy on getting people to like you, or excusing harmful behaviors.
When people start slinging adjectives / buzzwords around it takes away from the subject at hand.
They move the conversation away from being productive to making everything about them and how they feel.
Basically becoming a human version of this:
We all do it to some degree - just some are OD with it, and it shows.

Lol what? Personal responsibility of not getting raped? Cosby is 100% at fault for what he did. 100% at fault. ALL OF IT. Is that enough of a stance for you?
“did they have a gun to their head” was you saying the girls were at fault. Period. I know what’s next,”quote me saying this”. That’s the reason you said it that way. So you could dodge once you caught flack for the idiotic comment.
what now? More “you in your feels?!?!??” Comments? Lol try that
you want to preach personal responsibility, who made Cosby sexually touch the girls? Who put the gun on his head? *but dats different doe* gif

Here we go again with the sjw mistranslation receipts, I knew you were gonna do it and you did, At least post the actual quotes, your dodging is getting sad
Where have I switched sides?
1. Rape is wrong
2. Noone forced these women to take these pills
If I'm wrong, say where I'm wrong
It's becoming pretty obvious that the only way you can argue is by misrepresenting people's words
You're right, noone forced bill to touch these women just like no one forced them to take those pills, kinda weird how that works

I mean it's a message board... you expect people to have differing views and opinions than you.
I don't think it's too outlandish to say women shouldn't be going to a man's hotel room or take random pills he gives you
I think it's possible to have that viewpoint and still think Bill Cosby is despicable.

You sounding more and more like an incel now.
You got a bad memory or something?
I said it way back when I replied to your post and all you could say is I was being emotional
It's funny given the way you're replying now.
Like I said before, might as well stop playing coy and be upfront about it. You are what you are.
I ain't either so what we talking about? I get this is the crutch you want to lean on when replying to me now but it wont work if you can't even get it right
Especially when you out here blaming women for getting raped and advocating for rapists.
I said you got toxic levels of scumbaggery and this guy bending and back flipping to say its something women do and is effeminate
This is sad.
It's strange how you side with the rape advocates when you want to get my attention and post about me.

cool, be proud of your criticism knowing you had to twist my words to make it
it seems like the only goofy energy is from these sjw mistranslation receipts, probably the result of poor reading skills
me - theyre not murder victims, why are we comparing them to murder victims
some weird translation, possibly a brain fart
you - at least they werent murdered
are these people going to acknowledge these misrepresentations or are they gonna continue to ignore their poor reading skills and made up "narratives" in the name of "social justice"

paraphrasing is when you keep the message someone says, but put it into fewer words, not when you change what that message is, but i wouldnt expect someone with poor reading comprehension to know the difference
Sjw, in your feels, feels everywhere, lol sounds like a right wing YouTube comment poster. That’s why you don’t respect
im actually not a right wing youtube poster, but keep up with the "misrepresentations"
i believe in social justice, i just dont care about other peoples high horse morals for being an ally
like SJWs who say things like "phylicia rashad doesnt care about rape victims" or "phylicia rashad is a rape apologist"
why should i care about anyones warped view of social justice?

Phylicia Rashad apologized for coming off insensitive shortly after. I don't think being against blaming victims of date rape is a warped view at all.
