  • People should not think less of you on the base of the amount of sex you have, and you shouldn't either.

    This is a nice thought, but insults based on amount of sex are absurdly common. I have seen quite a few people on this site who still do these insults, and it doesn't get removed when I report it. The incel article from a while go was about how we should critique incels for their misogyny rather than them failing to have sex, I see this as pretty similar to the arguments about not body-shaming fascists in that most of the people who will get hit by the insult are not the actual target. From what I remember, that article good job explaining why these insults are harmful and how they hurt a lot of people who they really shouldn't, unfortunately the discussion on that post was very off topic. In my experience, most people who have sex fail to recognize that not everyone who is celibate is an incel ("If so many terrible people have sex and you can't, that must mean you are worse than they are!").

    I would say that insults based on amount of sex a person has should not be allowed, but I am very pessimistic about this actually leading to a change in site culture.







  • Maybe call it a 'ride'? It would still be a car reference, think about how people talk about cars as their 'rides'. At least to my understanding, calling a car a 'ride' also implies some level of the car being special. 'ride' is also only 4 letters, and isn't any harder to type, some of the other comments have really long terms which are a bit annoying to type.

    On the negative side it is also 1 letter away from 'rice', so that might not be ideal.
