re: #101 Cato the Elder

Well, a lot of them do, but that is their right. It’s a well-known psychological effect: people scourged with hateful words adopt them, often, as a badge of honor and a way of saying “you can’t make us feel bad with that shit anymore”. Of course it still makes them feel bad when people use the word as originally intended; it’s a defense mechanism, nothing more.

I also know Jews who call each other “Hebes” and even the K-word. Doesn’t give me the right.

I, OTOH, reserve the right to tell them to fucking stop that shit.
