bad words
@Felthry "that hoe over there", it started as a slur for women posting pictures of themselves on Instagram and was both
reclaimed (?) by people who use it to describe themselves in a positive way (like someone would refer to themselves as a slut)
and became a thing in the term "begone thot" like a banishment? I'm not sure why people use it but it's not in a nice way, at best as a problematic meme
re: bad words
@noiob @Felthry I've been told there's also a racial angle to it - that it originated in AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) and has been appropriated from and disconnected from that context.
fuck if I know why so much of the internet decided they're comfortable with that.
