It’s not a word that can, or should be, “reclaimed”.

Dunking on chuds/libs/etc. is awesome, but it doesn’t need that specific framing.

    Just because it’s ok to do something to an adult doesn’t mean it’s ok to do that same thing to a child. Many such cases.

          i mean you literally said “it’s ok to do something to an adult” where ‘do something’ means bullying. if you want to present a more nuanced view than that you should phrase it in accordance.

              It’s threads like this that make me realize “Oh there actually are people who are more concerned with getting performatively offended to virtue signal than meaningfully oppsoing fascists” and it’s always such a let down.

                  Bespoke struggle sessions are the best and worst part of this website.

                  Anybody can argue about broad topics but there’s only a couple places where you can have a 300 comment struggle session on one completely unique and incredibly tailored topic.
