Nope. They all have the same origin and mean the same thing. The one reason retard isnt okay but idiot and moron are culturally is because of the age of the words.
And at least youre logically consistent then.
She is so much worse. https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamingcirclejerk/comments/119qt6p/nsfw_language_empress_who_cracked_hogwarts/
Isn't she also talking about a trans woman using masculine pronouns?
She's a massive transphobe. ~~Despite (to my understanding) being trans herself~~ (probably not true, edited to remove)
Okay hold up, I'm going to need a reference on her being trans herself. Because no, as far as I am aware, she is in fact just a transphobe.
Honestly I don't keep up with her drama all that much but when I was more in the loop I definitely recall people referencing the 'fact' she is trans.
Literally no source now though because its been years, so feel free to disregard it as baseless.
Edit: Honestly, thinking about it now, that might have been some misogynists who just couldn't accept that a cisgender woman could be talented enough at computer related stuff to crack denuvo. So I'm gonna erase "empress is trans" from my brain.
Are you thinking of fitgirl? She's notoriously been a target for hate from Empress, who I think may have accused her of being trans at one point? Though like, as a trans girl myself, I can see her being trans just from this webpage: https://fitgirl-repacks.site/games-with-my-personal-pink-paw-award/
Edit: both because of the page itself, but also there's a bunch of stuff with queer themes in that list. A couple of non-binary protags and a few sapphic romances.
No it was definitely empress being discussed at the time, but I could definitely see fitgirl being trans, as a fellow trans girl!
I've seen people accusing her of being a trans woman before, which obviously she has always responded to with transphobia and denial. I see no reason to believe her to be trans unless you have evidence
Yeah, I was in the process of editing my comments when you commented. Hope the edits are suitable, communism.
as long as she is cracking denuvo she can say all the slurs she wants as far as im concerned
She makes a handful of digital toys free. Slurs hurt real people. Keep this in context
Have some self respect.
Naw, she can fuck off. https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamingcirclejerk/comments/119qt6p/nsfw_language_empress_who_cracked_hogwarts/

Yeah cause bitch, shithead and fucking alut are choices people make, it reflects their behavior.
The other is a slur for disabled people who never chose that.
Make fun of people's actions, not what they were born with. Simple stuff.
Is one of those a slur for marginalized, at-risk members of society with special needs?
I know, "bitch" and "slut" were originally sexist, but were taken back. These days men, women, LGBTQ+, and all races call each other both. There's no "punching down", unlike with the antiquated 'R' word...
Women can't be "punched down" on? News to me...
Did you read any other words than that, or are you just trying to be argumentative with that strawman?
I clearly didn't say that. But contrary to those, using 'R' or 'N' words is always punching down.
If I misunderstood your post, it wasn't intentional. Would you mind elaborating?
Well one of those is ableist while the other ones are just fun.
Sex shaming is fun?
She said slut referring to herself, and within the context of being a slut for something that isn't inherently sexual.
Edit: Nope misread that. Either way there are a lot more contexts where one can use slut and not be shitty.
True, but I don't think that's the case here.
