Lots of quality responses to the original post.

Also, darwin tries to point out slut shaming, fails to convince anyone

Also,

Being called a nazi has a serious probability of derailing your current employment and making it difficult in the future to find another job. Being called a hoe is…well I presume unpleasant, but won’t end your career in a snap. A more analogous situation would be if Peterson or Shapiro were called jerkfaces, or some other insulting term that isn’t also a highly political accusation.

Edit: The mods deleted a comment? I can’t believe they finally resorted to censorship. smh

the [proof](https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/8jc7i6/culture_war_roundup_for_the_week_of_may_14_2018/dz4k7q0/) they offered that being called a nazi was bad was entertaining as well spoiler: "being called a nazi" very rapidly became "being spotted at a nazi rally"

>On the SSC, we don't use insults as labels, even when they are accurate. But it's so much fun! Also, *the* SSC, not to be confused with those other off-brand rational circles where they only pretend to be charitable as a motte-bailey against critique of hideous beliefs.

Frankly, even as a fan, I’m not sure if I believe this

It always amazes me that the denizens of the rationalitysphere think like this

Tiny brain: girl streamers are thots
Normal brain: no streamers are thots
Glowy brain: all streamers are thots
Astral brain: all streamers are thots except Mathil
Galactic brain: Existing where other people can see you is essentially streaming with 0 latency; all non-shut-ins are thots
