In this thread: People so upset about using the word cunt they are willing to ignore the actions of some celebrity contributing to the culture of excess that is harmful to our world, while at the same time making herself look like an uneducated child by tossing threats that have no bite. She’s now Mini-Elon to me.

That’s the thing for me about this kind of ad hominem bollocks: the discussion invariably goes: “she’s an ugly cunt” “no need for that” “why are you so offended” “you should focus on the point at hand rather than calling names” “people are so upset by a word that they lose focus of the point at hand”, then the conversation just becomes about why we’re not talking about the thing we were talking about.

Plus like, if someone’s reading this who’s worried about being ugly, they might feel a bit worse about themselves, and I don’t think that’s the kind of environment we want to cultivate. So, selfish cunt: certainly. Ugly cunt: bit far.
