If a leftist wants to express dissatisfaction with a comic, a frequent accusation is I don't realize the name of the comic actually refers to someone addicted to crack cocaine. They simultaneously accuse me of appropriating their word to mean something else while claiming I don't know what the original word means. I know what the original word meant, it just doesn't matter because that's not what it means now: Based.

Based., Leftist: See, there you go., Panel 2: Leftist: Right-wingers are always appropriating progressive terminology!, Panel 3: leftist: How dare you change the meaning of a word WE invented??, Panel 4: Dillon: Don't worry, I'll still use it to refer to your crack addiction., Leftist: Well, I should hope so.](https://basedcomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/full-102523.jpg)
