I don’t think about it as normalizing because I view these kinds of words as weapons, you don’t go spraying them in public like a psycho, they need to be saved for someone especially deserving and ideally without an audience.
It’s unfortunate that the horrible people of this world are still people, and have all the same insecurities as any innocent person, but that won’t stop me from using the tools at my disposal.
I mean this is only a society wide issue when dealing with the social media panopticon.
If you are for example dealing with a bully in person, they don’t respond to the pressures of society correctly, attacking any of their insecurities is fair game if it will correct the behaviour or otherwise keep them away.
Who the hell would think “oh no, there’s someone across the globe that might have a hurt feeling if they knew about this private conversation”?

I get what this picture is saying, but I’d like to point out this is an issue that was never a problem outside of celebrity before the turn of the millennium. I say if used in defence with private issues, use whatever works if the collateral damage is only imagined people, just don’t make hating a part of your identity.
These are catgirls that abuse themselves
I don’t count being polite in public small talk, I mean things like being at a party where you don’t know anybody, work events, ceremonial events, those kinds of small, short hells.
Talking random bullshit with someone you know well is great, performative socially masked pleasantries specifically chosen for their generality, and uncontroversial nature is immensely draining emotionally and mentally.
I’m inclined to agree, because some of the major consequences that should happen need to go through Alberta’s energy market and the bought and paid for traitor Danielle Smith, whom Carney still refuses to treat with anything other than kid gloves.
