What is the best way to react, if someone calls you a degenerate? Just leave them, remembering the insult?

This type of insult targets disabled people specifically?

    I know a fairly large number of amazing people who use the word degenerate somewhat frequently. That said, they are all definitely degenerates and proud of it.

        It’s not even reclamation. It’s literally just using the word for its primary definition:

        Morally corrupt or given to vice.

          Sure but the n word also has a non offensive primary definition in some countries, now most people agree it is offensive regardless
