      The W for this site is getting to say narcissist is a slur? Uhhh okay. Honesly tricking you guys into going for that would be fine with me even if other guy also wants that because of their evil brainpan

        I generally think people can be worked with and aren’t intrinsically evil. It’s specifically scared-fash that get all essentialist about peoples biology vis a vis their usefulness to society and that’s why they get the pit.

        Understanding where people are and not wanting to insult them is very different from giving them free reign to hurt other people.

          I don’t think they’re ontologically evil I was being silly don’t worry

          It is extremely funny the site flipped back to saying narcissist is a slur and I hope to god the mods double down. I need it to happen

            I’ve been watching this from the start and it reminds me a lot of how people reacted super-negatively to the pronoun tags too. In the end it was more telling on them than anything else.

            I’ve had plenty of bad experiences with people with poor emotional regulation, from a number of sources. I’m fine with people treating it as something for serious discussion and not levelling it flippantly as an insult. That’s more what I have an issue with, I don’t see how drawing a line at name calling over something people might legitimately be working on (especially as it relates to their own life) is difficult or enabling.
