Your prudery and moralism bores the hell out of me https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant04-2024-07-18

  • That’s very beautiful, but do you feel that way too when Trump says vaccines cause autism, Elon Musk goes on rants about the woke virus, and then that racist uncle who likes to drunk-drive and catcall mentions them as beacons of morality protecting society from transexuals?

    Regardless of nature and nurture, at some point people must be responsible for the things they do and say, else we are going to have to excuse everyone for everything, as nature and nurture is no one’s fault… and I don’t believe that. One can understand all the context of why they are like that, and still want them to fuck off.


  • There are insults that I feel like are moralistic, majority seem linked to non-marital sex but the root overall is trying to shame someone for sexual activity that “should” be shameful. From those aimed at women like removed (lol lemmy, I’m saying the female dog here), slut, removed (ugh, the way devs treat everyone like children is ridiculous… it wouldn’t prevent a troll from writing wh0re, just prevent adults from having a conversation), etc, to homophobic insults, and even some more “neutral” like bastard… I don’t feel like people talk about bastard enough, like, you are trying to shame that person for their mother not being married? Like, single mother = bad person? (like son of a removed, bastard is pretty misogynistic)

    However, when someone says something really dumb, and you try to come up with an insult to his intelligence, I think inevitably someone will try to link it to people who are mentally impaired. Even the word “dumb” here, it’s used for people with speech impairment, and people believed they couldn’t talk because they were idiots, which meant mentally impaired as well… given enough first-world-boredom, someone will make the fight against “dumb” and “idiot” their cause too.
    What about when there is data and evidence to something and the person refuses to see or hear… you gonna call them blind/deaf? You will have a hard time finding an insult that first-world-boredom won’t try to link to shaming people with disabilities… even calling someone crazy, insane, demented, deranged, etc, those are all used to demean people with real mental conditions, it’s ok to make them the butt of the joke?

    I’m all pro using insults like asshole, piece of shit, etc, instead of moralistic stuff when you are trying to insult a person’s character… but what if you are trying to insult a person’s cognitive ability? People dead set to be offended will find a way to say you are being prejudicial towards people with cognitive impairment.
