Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
Victim and Unjust are also there, which lawyers prob love to never be able to use.
I donāt think āvictimā is really a word thatās even used especially much in āwokeā (for a lack of a good word) writing anyway. Hell, even for things like sexual violence, āsurvivorā is generally preferred nomenclature specifically because many people feel that āvictimā reduces the personās agency.
Itās the rightoid chuds who keep accusing the āwokesā for performative victimhood and victim mentality, so I suppose thatās why they somehow project and assume that āvictimā is a particularly common word in left-wing vocabulary.
Good point, had not even thought of that. Shows how badly they are at understanding the people they are against. Reminds me how they went, a while back going after the military for actually reading the āwokeā literature. Only the military was doing it explicitly so they would understand their enemies, so they could stop them.

Iām not sure lawyers file for many NIH grants, but āvictim" probably comes up in medical/science research. Pathology would be one possibility.
I was already assuming the pc word list would spread to other subjects.
@Soyweiser
A quick pubmed search finds NIH such supported research as:
"In 2005 the genome of the 1918 influenza virus was completely determined by sequencing fragments of viral RNA preserved in autopsy tissues of 1918 victimsā
Insights on influenza pathogenesis from the grave. 2011, Virus Research
"death of the child victimā
Characteristics, Classification, and Prevention of Child Maltreatment Fatalities. 2017 Military Medicine
Etc
