I have one problem with this:
slams
... siiiiigh
Everybody get up, it's time to slam now
We got a real jam goin' down
Welcome to the Space Jam
can you explain?
It's a very overused and absolutely terrible use of a word.
For two reasons:
- It has a predefined meaning, and if you read what the DA creators say, they're not actually "slamming" it. While they're pretty openly hostile - and for good reason - that's a far cry from what someone "slamming" someone else or a quote would be.
- It's inclusion in the headline is for sensationalism, which would not be needed as the "You're an idiot!"-quote already does that. Or maybe it's just surprising how desensitivized people on the net are nowadays.
To think it further, consider the whole headline had been slam-ified:
Dragon Age GOATs slam "woke" lollerz: "Cry moar!"
It's included in headlines is because it's a small word. At least historically. Now it's just a holdover.
