While I said I don't want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn't find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.

    ageist, good, abelist, abelist, abelist, meh, abelist.

    we need some solid language. how about loathsome dungeater (crap this could be kinkshaming)? Maybe insults aren't viable?

      The only "pure" insults are gonna be ones based off of your target's actions or beliefs, or insults that are just kinda calling someone a curse word without any specific meaning (ie "fuckass"). Anything that's based off of a trait that that person didn't actively choose to have is going to have an implication.

        For many insult throwers, the implication is the point.

      i think slurs need to be fresh (or maintained) to hold any weight. I guess polack was a slur? but i've never heard anyone besides gary coleman use the term and there's no anti-polish racism in my culture anymore so nobody would even know to scold you for it. ukkk might be different but i don't think it's reasonable to consider dialects that aren't local. every sentence we say is probably something horrible in cockney rhyming slang.
