It’s just experience in dealing with people online. I apply the same filter to “cuck,” “Overton window” and “Hegelian dialectic” for example. Offline it’s much easier to ascertain intentions and attitudes, and there aren’t millions of people all screaming at once. Online you have to filter, and alt-right buzzwords are excellent components of a healthy filter.

It's a very anti-intellectual approach to dialog. It explicitly ignores the logic of the argument being made. It disqualifies any language containing words that are allegedly associated with some ideological perspective from even being considered. It creates an ideological echo chamber, as it is completely intolerant to any view that even hints at falling outside of it. If you do utilize such heuristics, at least don't brag about it, as if it's something reasonable.

  Ignoring people is part of life; I’m not interested in every random I come across on the net taking up a little corner of my head. My goal isn’t intellectual purity, it’s living my life. Fortunately though, as your argument(s) seems to be largely logic-free, it turns out to be very helpful. I can understand why being dismissed without the hearing you want is frustrating, but I don’t know you and don’t care.

    You can ignore people all you like. But to post a comment telling people you're ignoring the comment because it contained blacklisted words like "female" or "pernicious" is absolutely toxic to a constructive environment for dialog. You're not simply ignoring a party at that point. You're promoting a pretty extreme form of ideological intolerance, where merely using a particular word is enough to make a snap judgement about a person's entire argument. >>Fortunately though, as your argument(s) seems to be largely logic-free, it turns out to be very helpful. Trying to insult me like this is not mature at all.

  I encourage you to spend time in actual academic fora, where language choice absolutely will get you disqualified from a conversation. Nobody is obligated to listen to anybody.

    Those in the academic fora do not discount an argument for containing the word "pernicious" or "female". The kind of behaviour that does that is ideologically intolerant to the point of being anti-social.

Since when is "overton window" exclusively a right-wing concept? It's been commonly discussed for a very long time. It seems like a bad idea to shut out any conversation that mentions that.
