Meh. I can see the anon's point. It's not necessarily commentary on the secret itself, it's the whole witch-hunt mentality that has infested some corners of fandom.

It doesn't bother me personally, because I don't give a fuck, but I can see that it is a serious problem in some places. I've seen people get piled on because they used IC dialog where they called a character a slut. Honestly, though? I don't particularly care one way or another if someone actually thinks a character is a slut. Not my problem.

I can see anon's point too! I just thought they were giving OP too much credit. It's absurd when you're able to conceptualize that people write about violent rape fantasies without being rapists, but can't imagine people writing angry, IC dialogue that they wouldn't use in RL.

I use the word, but I think it's pretty clear to everyone I know that I don't think it's an insult and I don't apply it solely to women. Online, it's the kind of language that gets used by the worst kind of misogynistic bottom-feeders, so while I wouldn't judge anyone just for using it: Context is everything?

Yeah, fair enough. Context does matter a lot. At my job, my coworkers are... extremely caustic about certain things. But we're used to it, and the climate is such that we can get away with calling each other a fat lazy fuck who ate all the pies (as one example) because it's not actually meant seriously. While I might call Coworker 1 that, I probably wouldn't call someone not used to our workplace environment that.

But it's also the sort of thing we're used to. We do it all the time, and everyone knows it's not actually meant seriously.

Is this making any sense? I'm kind of loopy on NyQuil. Stupid cold going around...

yeah makes sense. it's the difference between your workplace, where you know everyone and their sense of humour, and the internet. I know that a lot of people online, probably even the majority sometimes, see the word slut as exactly what people are saying down-thread: the easiest way to imply a woman is worthless. So like, among my friends I reclaim the word, but on a webpage anyone can read I'd rather just be boring and PC.

No worries, you're not tripping on NyQuil yet heh
