Sounds like it is just "the insult word" then. The words change over time, if it isn't trannies it's something else that's invading and ruining their previously high quality forum. The forums functionally stay the same they always were though, quality and all. Buzzwords come and go and people pretend it used to be so much better back-in-the-day, when the same trite discussion rituals were being performed with nostalgic buzzwords.

It was "fag" when I was big into doubleplustwochan. That's just what it was, "you're a fag", "suck a dick you fag". And it feels to me like times were better when we were calling each other fags, even though it's all the same old shit and I'm not even there to soak in what makes it "worse" now. I'm sure it's there though, subjectively speaking, new buzzwords and all.
