Out on the beach for a while today, i ran across two people waving for attention; turns out they were stuck right past the ‘4wd only past this point’ sign. I got them unstuck, made sure they didnt need anything else and was about to head on my way. One of the women offered me a couple road sodas, and i declined- i havent drank alcohol in about 13 years and have no inclination to start again. The other woman actually scoffed, and said ‘what man isnt going to accept a beer from a couple women on the beach, are you a f-slur?’
So i left.
Why the fuck do people who drink alcohol act this way around people who dont drink?
I can see where there may be some classist connotations with the insult “loser” but it is categorically not the same as a slur like the one OP was called. “Loser” just doesn’t have the sort of splash damage (or history) that an actual slur does. There’s a reason why this site will ban a user on the spot for calling someone else, even the most vile chud, the f-slur, but “loser” can be tossed around without much issue. But I do agree, it’s always good to examine these things and even an insult that seems innocuous can have some baggage that might make it worth reconsidering its use.
Yes, definitely. It depends on the context when this one.
