Can someone please explain this to me...

Kek. Originally a world of Warcraft reference meaning "lol" has been... repurposed somehow... to be a hate term. Someone... please explain this to me... because I am literally laughing that a "for the horde" reference of lol is somehow demeaning or can somehow be repurposed considering that was being said back in 2004...

    its called cultural resignification. meaning the more people use it, the more likely the original meaning will be scraped off the face of the earth for something else new no matter how good or evil the meaning now carry.
