    You’re spot on, but it’s not “the people” it’s just the incels on 4Chan. Same with “thots”. No one says that in real life, it just internet brainrot.

      Idk, my coworker loved to say, “be gone, thot!!” I thought it was hilarious.

          To be fair, we had zero women colleagues, and he was saying it referring to other men (basically, I need to get work done). Knowing that individual, he would’ve stopped if we had a female join our org.

            normalising words is still problematic - you never know who around will take it as “oh it’s okay to say then”
