yeah idk the user the i assume now-banned guy was complaining about was saying stuff about it being ableism and a slur. i don't really buy the arguments, but after seeing this magicker catto get so fucking mad about it i think we should put in in the slur filter to piss off chuds.
No, it's not banned, it came across as a troll at first but it appears to be a genuine user. The mods said
In addition, we would like to reiterate that Hexbear is a space for all our comrades, even if you may not understand their experience, please refrain from labeling a fellow user a wrecker or troll. Using conditions as a pejorative is not allowed, please engage in good-faith and remember the human!
I'm not sure where the line is with "narcissistic" tho.
i meant i assumed the dork in the screenshot is gone, not it,
and i stand by what i said in the other thread about plain narcissism not being the same as NPD in a way analogous to anxiety not implying an anxiety disorder before it made some unreasonable comparisons and I said ppb.
I think using a term like "self-absorbed" or "egotistical" or even "main character syndrome" could work well to separate someone being self-obsessed from someone with actual NPD.
I think it was the same person who ranted in a comment about how all human beings are evil because they don't respect his status as an "otherkin" and are species-supremist and are willing to eat him because he's "not human". I think there was much more going on psychologically than their (claimed) NPD, I think.
That said, taking into consideration the effects of the words we use isn't a bad thing regardless, so it's not like entertaining the concept of banning the word was a negative.

What are you really changing about what you're communicating when you do that though?
you're pulling out a medicalized term and replacing it with something more accurate
