I said I’ve seen the word so much it’s started to look fake, you stick in the mud. And yeah, that is genocide, though in Ender’s case it was unwittingly done. Bean is more to blame for realizing it and allowing it to continue without making sure Ender was aware by dissolving any remaining doubts he may have had about what they were doing.
What they’re referring to is a fairly common phenomenon called semantic satiation, though in this case for visually seeing the word rather than audibly hearing the word.
Semantic satiation occurs on the order of minutes. But they make it sound like it’s happened over months. I think they’re trying to change the subject to Palestine for no reason and deny the genocide there. I think their thesis is that those are false allegations, and they have eroded this person’s trust in the term.
The only thing closer to the bottom of this well than the enemy gate is my certainty “genocide” is a real word with how much I’ve seen it.
So you know how to invent memes about Ender’s Game on the fly, but you don’t think wiping out an entire species save a single egg is genocide.

That’s funny, I see the word “the” all the time and that never made me think it was fake. How come you think words that are used frequently are fake?
