Re: Pet peeve about use of the word "stan"

[(Anonymous)]

No. A person named Stan is using it in a neutral way as their name. However usage which is inherently negative, as in the derogatory term for an obsessed fan ought to be avoid due to it only being able to be used as a negative. The fannish usage, incidentally, is technically just as insulting to people named Stan as it is to peoples from the Stans; although I admit that few people named Stan will give it enough thought to realize that they ought to be offended. We probably could find someone named Stan who is offended by that use, and that in itself ought to be reason enough not to use a word that is a proper name as an insult. It has a disproportionate effect on those individuals and can, in cases where the name-as-insult is adopted in the mainstream, lead to the proper name itself dropping out of usage (consider the name "Fanny" for example and its vanishing after it was adopted in the UK as a colloquialism for a certain part of women's anatomy).
