Was WFC's "Broads w/ Swords" titled by a man or woman? Many will say it doesn't matter, but in-group slur appropriation = diff than bigotry.
@SheckyX @saladinahmed Yeah, it'd be nice to reduce ethical behavior to tidy lists of OKAY and NOT OKAY, but unfortunately context matters.

@chaosprime@saladinahmed ... is wrong for one group to do, it's wrong for everyone. -
@SheckyX@saladinahmed Sure, because if it's wrong to feed a phenylketylnuric peanuts, it's wrong to feed them to anyone. -
@chaosprime@saladinahmed Not at all the same thing and you know it. Stop playing the pedant card, okay? -
@SheckyX@saladinahmed People play the pedant card with you a lot, do they? -
@chaosprime@saladinahmed Generally, no. -
@SheckyX@saladinahmed Yet you don't get at all how it isn't that "broad" is a Bad Word, it's where and when it's used, after what problems? -
@chaosprime@saladinahmed But it *is* a bad word when applied to women. That part doesn't change. -
@SheckyX@saladinahmed Okay. I'm going to stop snarking for a minute and talk to you like your neural net works. Don't make me regret it. - 3 more replies
