If he feels it's offensove then it is offensive, and discriminative. That's what matters. When I was at his age, when kids got glasses they were called all sorts of horrible things. It should be changed. I fully support him.Peter Visi (Oxford, 2023-11-29)

"nerd" emoji did offended me as well when I was in secondary school cause it was used to represent me in chat group 😂. It wasn't that bad but it helps people to develop stereotypes about academically smart people that wear glasses.Doniyor Nosirjonov (Warsaw, 2023-11-30)
