i agree, sounds strange and like something that should have never caught on at all.
the moral argument of this being a derogatory term aside, it doesn't even seem to capture that well and sounds so out of place. another that comes to mind is "toasters" from Battlestar Gallactica. both terms to me just feel weird and "written".

- sidrag22 1y agoseemed like a discussion point in this thread, didnt really care to engage with it, i think it was more about human desire to create a derogatory term to describe something they dislike more so than an accusation of being immoral by using the term. but again, wasnt something i was interested in engaging with much
- curtisblaine 1y ago> human desire to create a derogatory term to describe something they dislike Isn't it...expected, calling something you don't like in a derogatory way?
