If someone were to call her a "nutcase Ch*nk," or some other slur which many people find offensive, I wonder how it would be taken. Would we have arguments that if she took offense it was her own problem? If she did take offense (which she might not -- I don't know) would she be correct in demanding the language's removal from the forum?
I feel like all slurs (that autocorrected to sluts, what’s have I been typing about? 😳), are covered by the prime directive. Nutcase...I don’t know. It’d be pretty fucking rude for someone to call her a nutcase based just on that she’s had mental health issues. But, for example, if she said the earth was flat, I wouldn’t be bothered by someone calling her a nutcase. She might be bothered by it, and she’d be within her rights to be bothered by it. But nutcase isn’t the same as a slur and I don’t think it is nor should be covered by the PD
