     @sandyx the offense takers have created a linguistic arms race in which by forcing old slurs to be discontinued new slurs are created to fill the perceived void. everyone assumed was made by banning certain slurs they go away, they dont, more are made and the older ones are forgotten by most and retain the hurt they inflict often becoming harsher as less know it even is a slur. accidentally people parrot them elsewhere without even knowing it is an edrich slur.
     
     it is a source of much schadenfreude to me to see the artificial acceleration of the evolution of hateful nomenclature as the direct outcome of trying to end hate entirely using social shaming.
     Machismo repeated this.
