    English mugs other languages and their associated grammatical rules all the time, especially Greek and Latin, and especially especially words related to mythological figures, like Herculean, Titanic or indeed, Narcissistic.

      English isn’t a person, it’s a language. The root word narcissism was pulled into english by people. Those people were late 19th century psychologists.

          It was put into general use by a book which claimed comtemporary america was normalising NPD, and later by self help books selling the old Hitler special - all your problems are caused by a vulnerable minority and please give me money

            Just fyi, your posts in this thread are getting passed around on chan sites and are getting dozens of (You)s, I didn’t start it. Don’t try to delete they were using archive links and screenshots.

            It’s absolutely deserved. You’re talking about a term for an aggressive personality that is sometimes related to a DSM classification that’s a lot closer to psychopathy than, say, autism or schizophrenia when it comes to carrying a stigma, having symptoms which interfere with life & socializing.

              really showing self-awareness when you say

              when it comes to carrying a stigma, having symptoms which interfere with life & socializing

              while gloating about the harassment this user is going to receive from 4chan. classy.

                Eh, I don’t mind being 4chan’s “lolcow” or whatever other ableist bullshit they’ve invented this week if it means I’m making radical queer identities more visible and making more common queer identities seem more normal. I mean, Trump singlehandedly normalised fascism in the US by being such a fascist clown. Maybe I could go a little way to being the opposite of that. Let them parade my identity around in front of everyone, that’s what we did ourselves at Stonewall and we ought to be doing it more often.

                  nah fuck that. I’m bullying 4chan weirdos any day of the week and once I’ve got some good material this is going in the dunk tank for the rest of hexbear to dogpile. fascists can get fucked.

                    You’re not getting any good material. This is like saying you should ban the phrase “stay mad” over the existence of people with diagnosed anger management problems. Hexbear already dunked on the person you’re replying to for this. This is just round 2 on a bunch of obscure chans, none of which are your beloved Trumpists.

                  They’re making fun of you for being an obvious wrecker with zero self awareness and trying to get people to stop using a word - (this is my addition) when it would be better to redefine narcissistic personality disorder. Just like histrionic is deprecated

                Not 4chan lol

                I like how you think people being made fun of online for bad takes now constitutes the same kind of difficult experience autistic and schizophrenic people have with socializing lmao. The new Chapo crowd isn’t worth a damn.

                    They’re absolutely correct that hexbear is taken over by narcissistic wrecker radlibs and seeing the site almost move into banning “the n-word” (funny because it would be exactly like banning “cracker” like it’s the real n word) is just the cherry on top for them
