What. The. Fuck? Have some class, bitch.

That last word isn’t in my vocabulary cuz potential sexism

That piece of shit should have some class

Erasing words because there is the potential for damaging feelings isnt the way to go.

I agree re sexism, etc., but I don't think we should rewrite books or words. Let people know what they mean, and then explain why it's bad.

For ex. Re-publishing Enid Blyton or Mark Twains works with certain words that are racist removed or edited. I don't think that should be done. Let people learn how they were used and why they are wrong.

Or pulling down statues of Confederate leaders because they were racist and fought to have slaves. Don't do that. Keep the statues up. Add a plaque or a message stating why they were assholes. Don't erase history. Don't rewrite it. Just make sure people have the knowledge.
