Yes, it is fine to say "kill all fascists/slave owners" because they are making the choice to be that thing. At any point they can stop, and, critically, being that thing is what makes them evil. Not whether or not they have a weak chin or a small dick or whatever.
All you're doing is catching innocent people in the crossfire when you use insults that apply to more than just your intended targets. You can say nearly anything and set a Nazi to fuming. Using rhetoric that alienates onlookers (who might otherwise be on your side) is foolish at best and actively harmful at worst.
And it seriously undermines your claims of "no actually this isn't bad at all! it's cute and enjoyable!" when you use it as a bludgeon against people you don't like. You must understand that.
e: And yes, obviously, bullying Nazis is fine. Murdering them is fine too, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to shoot through someone else to get to one.
I don't think I can explain it any more simply than I already have.
You're not fighting the Nazis by doing body shaming on a tiny communist forum. You're just making your alleged comrades feel bad about themselves and engaging in the kind of toxic masculinity you allegedly don't care for.
"Oh but everyone should understand that when I'm denigrating bad people for something unrelated to their badness, it doesn't mean that thing is bad!!" wow you have such keen insight into the human mind, i could never believe you're actually a shitlib.
This is basically the “it isn’t homophobic to make fun of Trump sucking Putin’s dick because they are bad and rightwing” argument, ie the Vaush argument.
It’s not ok to use slurs or problematic attacks against people just because they are bad. It’s either ok to use an insult or it isn’t.
Vaush famously used misogyny against JK Rowling and said it was fine because she’s a TERF, this is the best example of this type of unprincipled thinking

I'm reminded of why I rarely talk to children.

When the most likely place to agree with you on the internet isn’t agreeing with you, maybe use some introspection
