"Affectionate” insults—I don’t really do them.

I don’t call anyone the "n" word, I don’t call my friends "b*tches","h*es" or "c*nts". I didn’t grow up with that kind of thing. It feels like a disconnect to me. I heard it enough from enemies, I don’t [b]need[/b] it from so-called friends. 😞

Recently someone told me the "B" word was considered in this culture to be as bad as the "n" word. I don't think it's even close. When I was young, F*CK was the worst word you could say. Now it's like saying uh or hmmm

@originnone It definitely doesn’t have the same kind of history behind it. But it is a way of putting down women, so I can’t understand why anyone would [b]want[/b] to own a word used to degrade as a term of "affection". And that is why I also don’t use the "n" word and don’t have much respect for folks who do.

@bijouxbroussard Yeah, b*tch is actually an ok word to use in some cases. The other doesn't. I did hear someone use the word a few months ago. It was surreal honestly.

@originnone Yes, Indeed, though I don’t know why any woman would want herself equated with a female [b]dog[/b]. I’ve seen the other when some of the new posters arrived, even received a dm or two. That’s about sorting out the folks who have Stormfront.com among their other sites.

@bijouxbroussard I had to look up Stormfront.com. I find it interesting that being anti-vax became a far right issue....

@originnone I personally think that the only reason the pandemic became politicized is because Trump encouraged it to be, by implying that it was a hoax rather than starting out working with the various health organizations who were trying to identify its source and stop it from spreading.
