I prefer the terms hetero and cishets
Yeah youâre right. One has been much more widely used. Then it fell out of favour in a big way when people realised how stupid, cringey, and damaging it is.
It went from being said nonchalantly by everyone to now almost exclusively being used in an ironic fashion by people who arenât straight. I know I do.
Letâs not try to have some kind of weird, pathetic culture war with straight people as some kind of quest for retribution.
Even if one is âless badâ according to some made up metric you decided on, why would you want to stoop to the lesser of two evils? Why donât we all just not use someoneâs sexuality against them?
Whatâs offensive is using someoneâs sexuality as an insult as stated in the OP. It doesnât matter how you try to justify it. Itâs a dick move. I donât care if youâre gay. Iâm also gay. It doesnât give anyone the right to be an asshole.
