Yeah, it’s based on the Greek character Narcissus, who was hated for being asexual. One of the incels he rejected prayed to Nemesis to make him fall in love with that which he cannot have, so she made him fall in love with his reflection so he’d starve to death. It’s a story about how Greek culture was aphobic. They didn’t understand asexuality and attributed not wanting to fuck anyone to hubris. So if you call someone a narcissist, you’re saying they have an asexuality motivated by pride. Which is honestly aphobic and disgusting nonsense.
No, I’m just trying to convince people that using slurs is a bad idea because if you do, you’ll be subjected to “banal whinging” about how slurs are bad. Thread top could have avoided all this by not using a slur, and nothing bad would have happened.
It’s not a slur to call Trump anything you fucking want. Stop trying to police language. Punching up is ALWAYS acceptable. YOU brought up asexuality first. You’re the one with a problem.
I couldn’t give a flying fuck if some monster wants to call a worse monster bigoted nonsense. My world is so much bigger than the grumblings of morons.
Well, as a gay and trans autistic person, I don’t think those words are appropriate to use in earnest in any context. Maybe you should try listening to minorities on the subject of slurs.
Etymology is cool. Too bad it doesn’t have any effect on what a word meaning is today because when I say you’re being silly, I’m not using the original Middle English meaning, which is ‘blessed.’ I mean you’re being silly.
Telling people that Trump is neurodivergent and his evil is caused by being disabled is also fucked up. It simultaneously garners sympathy for a fascist and villifies disabled people.
You’re the one who brought up NPD. If it’s not a slur against disabled people it’s a slur against asexuals. You’re completely ignoring the influence of Christopher Lasch’s book on pop culture vernacular.
Let me preface this by saying that when I tell you “stop being daft, dude,” I am not suggesting you cease to be a well-mannered city person who doesn’t know how things work around here.

Do you honestly think you’re changing anyone’s mind with your banal whinging?

So, if someone were to call Trump a

And now you’re just being dishonest. He was called a narcissist, not someone with narcissistic personality disorder.
It’s not a crime to say you were wrong, you know.
