"feminist" in a soaring lead with 38%. Let's get it to 50% boys!

Quote:

If you hear that word one more time, you will definitely cringe. You may exhale pointedly. And you might even seek out the nearest the pair of chopsticks and thrust them through your own eardrums like straws through plastic lids. What word is this? You tell us.

For TIME’s fourth annual word banishment poll, we’re asking readers to vote another word off the island, following previous castoffs OMG, YOLO and twerk. Cast your vote, encourage your friends to share their curmudgeonly angst and we’ll announce the results next week on Nov. 19.

If you need help deciding (or a little background on the words), see our blurbs below the poll, in which we’ve channeled the type of person who would like to see each nominee launched into the deepest, darkest, most hopeless eternity from whence there is no salvation nor return.

It's at 40% now.

Vote early and often my friends.

[enderilluminatus]

Brilliant.

[Coldfire]

41% last I checked

[solo]

Why do you want to ban my favourite swear word?

[vinman]

At 46% now, and leading by a wide margin.

I'm kind of surprised more people aren't jumping onto this from the GG thread. Having a TIME headline saying "Banned word 2015: Feminist" would be quality cannon fodder.

Incidentally, it seems interesting they put that out there now, considering the SJW craziness going on.

Man, those feminist clickbait bloggers are going to have a field day with this one. "Why we need to have a conversation about problematic anti-word bigotry"

If you reload the page it lets you vote as many times as you want.

Gentlemen, start your auto-clickers.

Good, since "feminist" is off the market, maybe they can use a more realistic term like "spiteful five-and-unders"

[Cattle Rustler]

Do not tell gamergater-ers to troll this, some of them have rigged polls in the past. If time finds out that people are rigging the vote they'll disqualify such word

[Dr. Howard]

this will be like the time they had a poll for man of the year online, and Mick Foley/Mankind was voted to the top and they of course ignored it.

[samsamsam]

45%

[Sturmgeist]

I don't believe any word should be "banned" but even if Feminist does win this poll, the results will be swept aside and another will be chosen. Futile efforts.

[Krusyos]

I just want "feminist" to win so I can gloat in front of all the feminist trash on my facebook.

[Sonsowey]

Best tweet from that time article:

"Also, why is @TIME in the business of promoting word banning anyway? Since when is that something to be proud of? #Feminist"

I went and voted for feminist (still at 45%) but if I had have seen "bae" and "om nom nom" BEFORE I voted, I might have gone for them instead.

[DannyAlberta]

despite my hatred of modern feminism, english words don't get banned. ever.

also, it is perfectly in the spirit of the times that time f-ing magazine doesn't notice the supreme irony of a mainstream media outlet gleefully engaged in rumination about censorship of certain words because they hurt people's feelingz.

[Sonsowey]

If "feminist" wins either they won't publish the results, will remove "feminist" from the list, or something like that.

They are simply not gonna say "Feminism is banned" they would be buried for that.

45%

[Switch]

Everyone vote a couple of times. I want to rub this in feminist's faces. "Everyone hates you." will feel good with Time's support

[h3ltrsk3ltr]

They might be blocking people who link from this site. SEO monitoring should be able to specify if there's a high volume of click-overs from a specific website. I'd recommend googling it, then voting.

basic: You get it. Girls need a word for other girls who name-drop D-listers in their fake Louboutins, going around thinking they’re a Carrie, even though they’re really a Miranda — if Miranda had a less remarkable hair color and worked at TJ Maxx. But basic has become basic. Bad bitches can do better.

I didn't even know this shit existed until now. Just reading that block of text I can hear that dumb cunts voice and picture her exaggerated mannerisms. I am not happy! God damn I hate this type of western cunts.
