Why stupid though? Is being a terf correlated to a lack of intelligence? No, it’s ignorance, and hate, and a lack of empathy. I get it, I default to stuff like “stupid” or “idiot” a lot, but we just miss a moment to really call them out in favor of a small moment that makes us feel good
Idunno how to feel about that tier of intelligence based insults, like, they’re literally the words children just learning the concept of insults call each other and by adulthood are incredibly firmly ingrained for many of us as such, a largely harmless and childish yet effective insult.
I don’t really know where the line is, so I just try my best to avoid it as best I can shrug
all I can say is that I don’t think calling someone an idiot on twitter makes you a bad person or a bad leftist, but it’s something I personally am trying to avoid doing
