I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

Not hung up on anything, but I do acknowledge it’s a losing cause. To try and explain to socially inept people why certain terminology is frowned upon in certain settings, is like talking to a brick wall. As far as callous and bigoted, yup, sure am.
And you don’t consider that socially inept?
What, being callous and bigoted? No, I call that being human.
That is a truly terrible view.
I know, because being human is so terrible. It would be so much easier to allow people to ridicule me for my beliefs. 🙄
If your beliefs include being callous and a bigot then they deserve to be ridiculed.
I’m sure you believe that, because anyone who doesn’t fit a certain mold should be ridiculed. F**k off with that logic.
If they mold they refuse to fit is “being a decent human being” then yeah, they should be ridiculed.
But see, that’s the thing. Who are you, or anyone else for that matter, to tell me or anyone else what being a decent human being is?
If I say I don’t like trans people, that doesn’t make me a bad person, that makes me a person with their own, valid opinion. Or If I say I don’t give a damn what happens to them, that’s not being callous, that’s me, not giving a f**k about people I’ll never meet. I’m sorry but virtue signaling isn’t my thing.
