I always thought that slur was a stand-in for “psychic” because it was used in Runescape to refer to a (albeit completely friendly and even helpful) Romani-coded character.
When Jagex took out that part of her name, now just being “Aris”, I remember the internet going APESHIT.
This past weekend, I went to Lollapalooza in Chicago. I wore my new shirt, which in big letters, states “Sarah Palin is A C—.” I knew in this extremely liberal city, the hometown of Barack Obama, that I would not get lynched, but I wasn’t expecting so many compliments. Literally over 100 people complimented me on my shirt, from “I love your shirt” to “I love your shirt.”
