From what I've seen it's better in terms of consistency.

why is slut still a derogatory term

Good question, I recall reading that people are trying to change that. That said, still pretty certain that Nanna wouldn't fit the definition of slut, unless...

It's sort of like using "bitch" and "bitching" and "pussy" as derogatory

To be fair, this goes for the majority of insults because that's all part of the intent. It's just the association with femininity* (and usually submissiveness) that gets me and the double standard, hence the use of "man-slut" or "man-whore" to clarify when one is referring to a male. Unless his virility is being celebrated, then he's a player. I just don't understand why people feel the need to use their amount of sexual activity to gauge how much of a "prude" or "slut" another person is.

All this is separate from cheating though. That's not cool if all the parties who went into the arrangement weren't okay with having an open relationship.

*Technically "pussy" comes from "pusillanimous"
but in my experience it's usually associated with female genitalia
and goes down the "you throw like a girl!" train of thought
in that "Haha! You are male and are doing (or not doing) something that is not commonly associated with your gender in our society! I shall continue to laugh at you for acting outside of my expectations for this gender even though this action (or lack of action) is perfectly acceptable! Haha!

That sounds merciful. I don't particularly like merciful.

Now I'm becoming confused, when did one's own sexual activity come into play, unless you mean how one determines "average" to figure out if someone else is "above average"?

Not sure what you mean by that.

Mafia game joke, voting to Lynch or get rid of in this case

I haven't played a good game of mafia in a while

Lord Dragelsnart wrote:Mafia game joke, voting to Lynch or get rid of in this case

Oh.

I never have time for mafia... I tried playing recently, and just felt like I couldn't be active enough and dropped out (which I hated to do because it was One Piece Alabasta Mafia, which is my all time favorite One Piece arc...).

mafia sucks
