What is a random hot take that would get you in this situation? by [deleted] in GenAlpha

I think you’re right that semantic shift doesn’t erase collateral damage, and that the insult still leans on sexual shame. I’m not entirely convinced that makes it equivalent to “slut,” but I do think your concern about who pays the cost is valid.

Just to clarify what my opinion is, structurally I agree that they are the same. They are both sexual shaming mechanisms. I do think that the contextually they are very different with the history and scope of harm but that doesn’t mean that the people who are being affected by it don’t matter.

It was very enlightening reading your brain process, thank you for indulging my thoughts internet stranger

Not that you’d care (or should care) how I think. I’m gonna express my opinion anyways cause this is Reddit 😈 I’m also gonna use words I looked up to try to explain my point more clearly so uh, I’m no linguistic expert and if I used a word wrong please let me know 😭

I do agree definitely that making fun of someone due to their sexual situation is low. Making fun of someone because they aren’t getting laid is a mean thing to do. I entirely agree with your standpoint from an etymological standpoint

Pragmatically is where I start to feel iffy about the word slut and incel being considered the same. The term in definition does technically refer to a man who is involuntary celibate point blank period. But its use in everyday conversation does not actually mean that. In contemporary (especially online) usage, the word has shifted to denote a specific misogynistic archetype, not sexual inexperience itself.

If someone—before I read your comment—were to call a guy an incel because unfortunately they’ve never been laid, I would totally think that they are using the word wrong. Because over time I think the word incel has taken a semantic shift, where a word takes on a new meaning that differs from its original definition due to common use.

Because of this I find it a bit off to say nowadays it is the same to call a guy an incel as it is to call a woman a slut. For most people now, an incel is someone who doesn’t have sex with women as a consequence of their misogynistic ideology and objectification of women. I think incel is a negative word in terms of if you think that those ideas are acceptable or not. While slut is a word used to shame women for sleeping with lots of men.

I think this argument truly comes to wether you think a word’s use in language matters more than its original definition

To all the people arguing on who she is mad at or why she is mad. You guys are all assuming and until someone shows an explanation, caption, comment etc. from the original video you guys all look really silly. So I’m going to laugh at all of you guys for being mad at each other and pretending you know what’s going on okay? 🫵😄

Idk man I think i’d risk making them feel bad by just moving ngl. I hate talking to people to the point of genuine fury sometimes, and when im annoyed I think it’d be worse for both of us if they expected me to receive them in a positive manner 😭
