I don't think that tweet was ever acceptable - calling someone a "cunt", "whore", "idiot" and telling her to "go fuck yourself" all in 140 characters is really going out of your way to be unpleasant.
- mosselman 7y agoI agree, was referring to the following more than the original tweet: > Is there a list of gender-neutral insults that we can refer to for compliance reasons? The thing is that even if there is a list like this now, in 9 years saying 'woman' might not even be acceptable because it has 'man' in it. If 'woman' isn't something we say in 9 years, I don't think twitter, in 9 years, should start banning everyone who every tweeted it now.
- nilkn 7y agoIt's always been acceptable so long as it's directed at the right person. What's changed in the last 9 years is simply who can be targeted with such language. Twitter supports and publishes language like this on a mass scale today.
