    The issue isn’t the hisotry of the word so much as the current implications.

    I agree with this, but you don't.

    I don’t feel bad at the prospect on losing insults with a history of bigotry behind them

    So which is it? Does historical etymology matter or does current use and meaning? Again, the vast majority of people do not find "Stupid" to be a bigoted phrase associated bigotry. The current, descriptivist definition in how it's actually used is not bigoted so you criticized it on it's history. Then you say the history doesn't matter but how it's used?

      Both matter and both indicate it shouldn’t be used but the way it’s used is more important. It’s not descriptivist lol, I’m referring to the way it’s currently used and historically

            descriptivism = good, correct

            prescriptivism = bad, the opposite of correct

            I agree your statement isn't descriptivist, it's prescriptivist, which is why it's not correct. Hope that clears things up.
