Oh noes, the target of the insult is insulted in a way the target would not approve.
It’s like the insult is meant to inflict abuse on the target.
Logic circuits breaking down.
What will society do?
Insult Caitlin Jenner about everything else she’s a horrible person about. She killed a person, she supports a fascist, she’s an adultular, a narcissist, was on the Kardashians, seriously take your pick. I could talk trash about Caitlin Jenner for a long time without ever bringing up her transition. I don’t need to be transphobic to “inflict abuse”.
The reason people are pin pointing her transition is because she’s actively advocating for a world in which she is deadnamed. She is asking for it, it is mean to show her again how it feels and how stupid she is.
Sure you don’t need to if abuse is the only goal.
It’s a weird boundary to set for abusive language specifically disparaging that quality of their identity that conflicts with their support for a person whose policies are hostile to that identity.
Do you know insults aren’t good?
she supports a fascist, she’s an adultular, a narcissist
First, adultular?
Second, that’s exactly what they’re doing & who they’re proudly supporting: restating what they’re shameless about isn’t much of an insult to the subject as it fails to demean & offend.
was on the Kardashians
Do you understand the concept of insult?
They’re unkind.
