omg. i’m baffled that i even have to have this conversation.

one, it is childish to get bent out of shape about a word. particularly a word that is referring to an imaginary object.

two, your assumption is incorrect. using the word had absolutely NO CONNECTION to their gender or their appearance. it’s a word used just like the word asshole. you don’t call someone an asshole because they literally LOOK like an asshole. also, i’ve called the ground a whore, on those odd occasions that i’m walking and trip for no reason. it’s a word.

three, using that word in regards to a fake being reinforced gender roles and power structures? wow, you are reading WAY too much into a flippant comment. also, stick and stones? do you get this anxious about words in real life?

four, maybe you’re getting downvoted because you’re crybabying about stupid things and you hijacked a valid post because apparently you’re sensitive and easily triggered. ppppfttt. some people in the real world might call that behavior “attention whore”. note that it can be a man, too. whoa. crazy.

five, i am a grown WOMAN and i have every right to use whatever the hell word i want to. i’m a bit ashamed that a fellow woman is acting like this. get a grip, lady. seriously. otherwise GTFO.
