    Yeah, it’s based on the Greek character Narcissus, who was hated for being asexual. One of the incels he rejected prayed to Nemesis to make him fall in love with that which he cannot have, so she made him fall in love with his reflection so he’d starve to death. It’s a story about how Greek culture was aphobic. They didn’t understand asexuality and attributed not wanting to fuck anyone to hubris. So if you call someone a narcissist, you’re saying they have an asexuality motivated by pride. Which is honestly aphobic and disgusting nonsense.

        No, I’m just trying to convince people that using slurs is a bad idea because if you do, you’ll be subjected to “banal whinging” about how slurs are bad. Thread top could have avoided all this by not using a slur, and nothing bad would have happened.

          It’s not a slur to call Trump anything you fucking want. Stop trying to police language. Punching up is ALWAYS acceptable. YOU brought up asexuality first. You’re the one with a problem.

            Warning: hate speech

            faggot ladyboy tranny autist r*tard orange-n****r

            , you would 100% agree with this move and applaud the person describing Trump with these words?

              I couldn’t give a flying fuck if some monster wants to call a worse monster bigoted nonsense. My world is so much bigger than the grumblings of morons.

                Well, as a gay and trans autistic person, I don’t think those words are appropriate to use in earnest in any context. Maybe you should try listening to minorities on the subject of slurs.
