Say whatever horrible word you want which expresses your terrible sentiment. [View all]

Just don't think the rest of us have to maintain the illusion that what you said wasn't horrible. That really is the issue at hand here.

The argument right now seems to be over whether or not there is an innocent way to use slurs and sexist/homophobic insults when the point all along is that there is no way to do so innocently. There is no target deserving enough of such vitriol.

That's the entire goddamn point of establishing the unconditional inappropriateness of epithets. We cannot at any point justify their usage by the simple nature of designating someone the "real" enemy.

So, let's just be entirely real with ourselves by abandoning the "logic" that Rude Pundit isn't being a disgusting pig by using such disgusting language. Instead, we should accept that disgustingness as an actuality and move on in the discussion.

Should we be endorsing disgusting piggishness? Yes or No? That is the real debate.
