    @PaulaToThePeople not expecting you to educate me (though happy to be educated if you are willing), but do you have a link to a resource on this use of language as I've looked after reading your post but only find articles essentially just about not using curse words in polite society etc.

    @solarmunk

    I'm especially talking about slogans like "fuck nazis" and here is my thought process:

    If you say fuck nazis you are telling victims of sexualized violence that its okay to rape people as long as they are "bad" people. And that implies to victims, who tend to blame themselves anyway, that they are "bad" people, as bad as nazis even. So they deserved what they got.

    Its reproducing rape culture.

    @PaulaToThePeople thank you for sharing. I love using the word but not at the expense of others. I will do my best to not use it again.

    Obviously, if the Nazis were consenting then it would not be rape, but also would not really be a punishment then. Unfortunately, "Ostracise Nazis" or "Proportionally punish Nazis for their crimes" lacks the oomph, so we need a new chant.
