(18,600 posts)a person can always hide behind saying 'I'm not shaming only stating a fact' or the 'I'm fat too excuse (completely verifiable on an internet forum) Because of the readily available excuses it is easy to use.
Some posters have pointed out other easy ones (all real men are hung like horses so someone we disapprove of is obviously "lacking" but there are other subtle slurs.
If you watch carefully you will see sexist, homophobic, ableist, racist and about any other -ist slurs used here daily.
Challenge- the next time a "Karen" picture is posted note what words are used to describe her and what criteria is used to judge her. (Spoiler, likely much of it will not be related to actions for which she should rightly be condemned)
But it's ok because we are the good people.
