    Where exactly am I relying on a “hyper-literal” usage of the phrase? I’d like a direct quote if possible.

    It’s not factually inaccurate, she wants the attention it’s just not a negative. “She wants to be known for bringing attention to just causes and generally being empathetic” is only an insult if you’re incapable of empathy in which case who actually cares what they think.

    Again, I don’t think you’re listening and at this point you’re too invested in your odd belief.

    Similarly, yes or no. It was a simple question your avoiding because it would destroy your point.

      I’ve directly quoted the exact phrase people are taking issue with multiple times. I’ve explained to you that while not factually inaccurate, because you are using a phrase differently than most people, they take issue with it. The fact that you just ignore me and keep saying “it’s factual” and that I’m “not listening” proves you yourself aren’t listening to me telling you that it’s precisely because you’re using the phrase differently from most people that they’re upset. If you just want to be pedantic, that’s fine. I’ve only been trying to explain it to you since you didn’t seem to understand why people are upset. But I’m not gonna waste more of my time trying to help you understand why people are upset.

        Not the phrase, the exact comment where it is used “hyper literally”.

        I’ve explained to you that while not factually inaccurate, because you are using a phrase differently than most people, they take issue with it.

        Also you yep comments ago.

        Also, if we’re being hyper-literal, it is factually inaccurate. They are still trying to bring food and medical supplies. They are not only trying to raise awareness on the issue.

        Similarly, I’m not using it differently, I’m saying it doesnt fucking either way, slant no slant they mean the same thing. Civil rights leaders want attention, it’s the thing they’re most known for. I’m sure no one knew mlk’s name while he was alive right? No one knew Harvey milk before he got murdered right?

        Like I said, not listening though obvious lies were a weird choice.
