Has anyone else employed the practice of using modern PC language as slurs?
This has happened with the word woke, and the MANY words for retard before its time. Imbecile, moron, lame, dumb, etc. "Queer" is still halfway between slur and PC language, same with "person of color/colored person" so I'll avoid those until I know I can use them around the right person.
Some examples:
"Gee, you look kinda body-positive in that dress!"
"You look like the type of girl/guy who calls prostitutes 'sex workers'."
"You're acting neurodivergent, shut the fuck up."
"Stay away from that girl, she's sex-positive and LOVES stealing boyfriends!"
Liberals get FURIOUS every time this happens because it proves what they try to deny: the words CAN be used as slurs in the same context, because they're describing something or someone objectively unpleasant. Changing the language doesn't change that fact. Being retarded, fat, or a slut will never seen as a good thing because we have literal evolutionary instincts to fight that.
TL;DR: Discuss this practice and the implications, post funny results of using it, and come up with more amusing things to say.
