re: #128 Casual Talker
Then explain what you think it means, because I’m really not feeling that you do. You are asking for an explanation of why hate = sex. X is the new X does not actually equate the two, at all— as I’ve already explained.
So far, you seem like you misunderstood an idiom, decided that I was making a formal argument, and resisted all attempts at clarification. While being incredibly un-casual.
Hate is the new sex means that there is an increase in the usage of ‘hate’ to sell things, just as pink is the new black means there is an increase in the usage of pink in a season’s fashion. It is never a formal claim.
What more do you need explained to you?
