i am lightly suggesting we let go of the use of “freak” as an insult… i don’t use it personally because i don’t like implying that being abnormal is bad (or rather that ‘normal’ is inherently good) and if the person really does suck then just saying what they do that is harmful is infinitely more damning
maybe i’m just jaded, but i have no interest in, even by proxy as this insult does, protecting or establishing any standard of normalcy because such standards have continually proven themselves useless in telling us what matters. “you guys are missing the point” is like my catchphrase at this point. if i’m going after somebody or something that hurts people i’m going straight for the throat
