General Discussion / The term "AWFUL" is now deeply offensive per the NY Slimes
« Last post by Ralph Wiggum on January 17, 2026, 03:10:10 PM »The Same New York Times That Called Trump a ‘Nazi’ and ‘Fascist' Objects to THIS Hateful Word for Women
Everyone lives by a moral code. But some, it seems, are more flexible than others.
Take the New York Times: As the long-reigning godfather of the mainstream media, The Gray Lady writes the narrative and publishes the template that other outlets follow. Even today, all across America, countless news directors will pore through the New York Times — our nation’s “newspaper of record” — before assigning stories.
~~~
So when the New York Times deems something “fit to print,” there’s an E.F. Hutton effect: Everyone else in the mainstream media stops and listens. They follow directions, sing from the “approved” hymn sheet, and add a few extra echoes to the left-wing echo chamber.
Been this way for years.
Even when what the Times is saying is flippin’ stupid!
Buckle up, boys and girls, because the New York Times is just FURIOUS over the latest pejorative term for Karens — i.e. those pushy, self-important, middle-aged white women who bully everyone else into submission. And for the Times to object, you know this word has got to be REALLY bad.
After all, our “newspaper of record” has been calling President Trump a “Nazi,” “literally Hitler,” and a “fascist” for years.
But I won’t keep you in suspense: AWFUL!
That’s the terrible term for white women that has the Times’ undies in a knot: AWFUL!
So said the New York Times on Jan. 17, in its explosive (and ridiculous) exposé: “After Renee Good Killing, Derisive Term for White Women Spreads on the Far Right”
The subhead prepared the Times’ readers for the scandalous story they were about to read: “Vocal Trump supporters are demonizing Renee Good, her partner and their allies, with some even using an acronym: AWFUL, or Affluent White Female Urban Liberal.”
Yup. Using AWFUL as an acronym for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal is considered a demonization tactic. (Those monsters!)
Affluent. White. Female. Urban. Liberal.
Which of those five words does the Times believe is hateful?

Quote
As the article piously reported:
In the days since a federal agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, Republican officials and conservative commentators have called the 37-year-old white woman “very violent,” a “deranged lunatic woman” and a “domestic terrorist.”
Some right-wing influencers have latched onto a different word — or rather an acronym: Ms. Good, they have said, was AWFUL.
“An AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) is dead after running her car into an ICE agent who opened fire on her,” the conservative commentator Erik Erickson posted on social media. “Progressive whites are turning violent. ICE agents have the right to defend themselves.”
Affluent. White. Female. Urban. Liberal.
