Ask Hexbear is the place to ask and answer ~~thought-provoking~~ questions.

Rules:

  1. Posts must ask a question.

  2. If the question asked is serious, answer seriously.

  3. Questions where you want to learn more about socialism are allowed, but questions in bad faith are not.

  4. Try !feedback@hexbear.net if you're having questions about regarding moderation, site policy, the site itself, development, volunteering or the mod team.

While I said I don't want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn't find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.

Hadn’t really thought about it, but words other than “stupid” or “dumb” make you sound more self-aware

Archaic, insipid, dull, tired, weak, backwards, incoherent are all much better

ageist, good, abelist, abelist, abelist, meh, abelist.

we need some solid language. how about loathsome dungeater (crap this could be kinkshaming)? Maybe insults aren't viable?

i think slurs need to be fresh (or maintained) to hold any weight. I guess polack was a slur? but i've never heard anyone besides gary coleman use the term and there's no anti-polish racism in my culture anymore so nobody would even know to scold you for it. ukkk might be different but i don't think it's reasonable to consider dialects that aren't local. every sentence we say is probably something horrible in cockney rhyming slang.
