#1 reason to tolerate the word 'bae':
It’s a gender-neutral replacement for ‘boyfriend’ or ‘girlfriend’ but it’s less awkward than ‘partner.’
Plus it’s actually a really cute word okay and I like it
this is AAVE and it’s not up to white folks to “tolerate” it you’re actually not supposed to use it at all if you’re not Black jfc
Cool how people feel the need to justify “tolerating AAVE, lol.
