    Having swears that hit hard that aren’t:

    A) homophobic
    B) sexist
    C) religious
    D) sexual
    E) body parts
    F) bigoted/slurs
    G) demeaning or punching down

    is difficult and very rare.

    I hypothesize following some of these patterns but punching up at those/that which is unethical/bad whilst avoiding immortalizing that which doesn’t deserve it, for true disrespect.

    I think that by novelly correcting the common lexicon, we can attempt to redirect/rewrite values in society that need to change, by utilizing shame and rhetoric in a way that is more constructive than things like putting down healthy human acceptance, trauma, or class struggles.
