Darkwolf in the explain pages is a fucking retard. And he earned the slur. Antivaxxers are plague spreaders.

Agreed but let’s not call people slurs if they “earned it” lmao. Would you call a black person the n word if they did something particularly bad?

DrQuint ,

I have no expectation behind wolf’s actual mental impairment the same way the N word would expect it, since it exclusively only targets black people. So no, I shouldn’t use it, but using it doesn’t justify any other slur the way you imply, either lighter or worse.

And with that said, I’ll use it anyways. Because, fuck it, I despise people like that, double down time. Someone should take anyone who makes antivaxxer media or argues antivaxxer rethoric and institutionalize them IN THE MORGUE.

The problem is not about the person you intend to insult “earning it” or not, the problem is that by your choice of insult, you’re implying that you also despise other mentally impaired people, no matter if they’ve done anything wrong.

Does it imply hate, the term? Or just limited cognitive capacity?

Well let’s not kill each other.

You’ve clearly never experienced a special needs person get physically attacked by a gang while calling them that word. I sure did in high school. I never used that word again. After that I could see it’s just another N-word.
