    If you’re comparing two words, and you cannot even say one of those words out loud, that one is the worse word.

          yeah idk the user the i assume now-banned guy was complaining about was saying stuff about it being ableism and a slur. i don’t really buy the arguments, but after seeing this magicker catto get so fucking mad about it i think we should put in in the slur filter to piss off chuds.

            the i assume now-banned

            No, it’s not banned, it came across as a troll at first but it appears to be a genuine user. The mods said

            In addition, we would like to reiterate that Hexbear is a space for all our comrades, even if you may not understand their experience, please refrain from labeling a fellow user a wrecker or troll. Using conditions as a pejorative is not allowed, please engage in good-faith and remember the human!

            I’m not sure where the line is with “narcissistic” tho.

            I think it was the same person who ranted in a comment about how all human beings are evil because they don’t respect his status as an “otherkin” and are species-supremist and are willing to eat him because he’s “not human”. I think there was much more going on psychologically than their (claimed) NPD, I think.

            That said, taking into consideration the effects of the words we use isn’t a bad thing regardless, so it’s not like entertaining the concept of banning the word was a negative.
