You know, I think this post sums up the quality of the debate quite well.

[livejournal.com profile] laura_holt_pi arrives to inform us that the criticisms are totally wrong and should quiet down because we are criticizing words we "don't fully understand".

I then triply source that every single point [livejournal.com profile] laura_holt_pi made about draggletail is wrong: it is a noun. It does mean slut. And while it may occasionally have been used about a man, it is a gendered insult primarily aimed at women.

She then blankly ignores this and repeats "your overreaction to those words is based on misunderstanding"
