Ironic Icon Usage

[cephiedvariable.livejournal.com]

The thing is that "bitch" is a gendered insult (and a pretty ugly one at that) which carries a lot of unfortunate social connotations. The difference is between shaming and gendered shaming.

Personally, I'm not bothered by the whole "bluh bluh huge bitch" meme because I always thought it was meant to be hyperbole and I'm less good about PC language than I should be durr hurr :C, but it's completely reasonable for people to be uncomfortable with it, especially since it bolsters the often very sexist frothing that surrounds discussion on Vriska's character in the fandom.

by which I mean you kinda proved anon's point

I guess my thing is that I've never seen gendered insults as a problem. They can be used problematically, of course, but so can any word.

The problem I've most often seen is when women are called bitches for being too ambitious or trying to get ahead in a 'man's world'. But that's not an issue with the word itself, it's the attitude that drives the insults. Complaining about the use of bitch is, in my opinion, missing the point and pushing focus onto the word instead of the attitude itself. Sexism doesn't go away just because you're not using a gendered insult to express it.
