  1. Regular reminder to not use violent sexualized language to talk about toxic people.

    Victims of sexualized violence, no matter their age, often blame themselves. That is a normal psychological reaction to traumatizing abuse. When you say "fuck nazis" you're basically telling women, men, non-binary grownups and children victimized:
    "Yes its okay to use sexualized violence against bad people. They deserve it."
    And that means:
    "You must have deserved it too, which means you're as bad as a nazi."

    Show empathy to the victims by not normalizing the acts and language of the perpetrators.
