Slang use of hurt. It’s like a “this is such a weird situation it hurts, but not really” it can also definitely mean good but in an uncomfortable way, like if the person your you only met because your parents insisted they’d be good for you turned out to be the best date you’ve ever had. idk how to really explain it. I think it’s American gen-z queer slang based on who I’d speak like that to and expect any comprehension.
So in context it’s more like “I don’t think y’all understand how weird of a position family guy can put you into”
Well you can’t expect people to get that slang if you use it like doublespeak. Most people will still interpret the word as its classic dictionary meaning.
No offense, but you’re clearly not the target audience of that tumblr post. I wouldn’t speak like that here, but I do on my tumblr account. Just like how 90s kids wouldn’t call something sick to their grandparents unless it’s feeling unwell.
The target audience understood the meaning of the post, I saw it, laughed, and thought that it was sweet that oop and their dad are able to connect even if they barely understand each other. My wife felt the same way.

So “you don’t know how much that stings”.
gen z making shit up 'cause they’re basically illiterate, but somehow can only understand nuances from 1-minute videos that pander to 11-year-olds
Huh.
case in point

What are you talking about? That’s literally how slang works?
not in a situation where the original use makes more sense than the slang use, and the slang use is already close in meaning to the original use. 🤷
