Is one of those a slur for marginalized, at-risk members of society with special needs?
I know, "bitch" and "slut" were originally sexist, but were taken back. These days men, women, LGBTQ+, and all races call each other both. There's no "punching down", unlike with the antiquated 'R' word...
Honestly I don't keep up with her drama all that much but when I was more in the loop I definitely recall people referencing the 'fact' she is trans.
Literally no source now though because its been years, so feel free to disregard it as baseless.
Edit: Honestly, thinking about it now, that might have been some misogynists who just couldn't accept that a cisgender woman could be talented enough at computer related stuff to crack denuvo. So I'm gonna erase "empress is trans" from my brain.
Are you thinking of fitgirl? She's notoriously been a target for hate from Empress, who I think may have accused her of being trans at one point? Though like, as a trans girl myself, I can see her being trans just from this webpage: https://fitgirl-repacks.site/games-with-my-personal-pink-paw-award/
Edit: both because of the page itself, but also there's a bunch of stuff with queer themes in that list. A couple of non-binary protags and a few sapphic romances.
I've seen people accusing her of being a trans woman before, which obviously she has always responded to with transphobia and denial. I see no reason to believe her to be trans unless you have evidence
I do have an issue with those terms actually but I think we both know you are being facetious trying to say those 2 are on the exact same level as the slur.
Nope. They all have the same origin and mean the same thing. The one reason retard isnt okay but idiot and moron are culturally is because of the age of the words.
