Best Insults 2015/16
A dear French friend explained to me that when things are not going well, people choose a nonaggressive person to attack and take out all their stress, rage, and frustration on that person. The reason that a nonaggressive person is necessary is that otherwise they would risk physical aggression or even death.
By attacking a nonaggressive person, they ensure their own physical safety when they need to blow some steam.
“You give the impression that you’re not serious”
“Feminist swill”
“stop being the victim of society.”
I have never wished to identify as a victim, and make a point not to, but that does not stop other people from aggressively naming me a victim
“Fais-toi aider (Get help)”- sarcastic and implying just like so many others that I am “crazy,” and this from a person who claims to be a feminist, just spitting out the most misogynistic clichés imaginable
“More prescription, less description”
“Jordyn, I know you won’t take this well, but you must see a shrink (Jordyn je sais que tu va le prendre mal, mais il te faut un psy).”
“…this is becoming very unsettling, from a psychological perspective (…ça devient très inquiétant, d’un point de vue psychiatrique.”
“Je ne peux pas vous aider (I can’t help you)” or “You don’t exist [unless you pay money…]”
Someone whose job it is to help claiming they can’t is in fact an insult
“AGGRESSEUSE”
despite the fact that I am one of the least aggressive persons on earth, and one of the shyest, French feminists hurled this one on me without any explanation or proof
“Most people who are affected by poverty aren’t whining about Starbucks in Paris or relying on GoFundMe to get a masters. Those are privileged problems.”
actually I arrived in Paris with no money this year, and have struggled with poverty for years because the jobs I have worked in France — which were the only work I could earn money with legally — provided monthly income well-below the poverty line, this coming from Morgan Given, who somehow afforded law school…
Insults specifically in response to my efforts to implement a recycling program in a Paris dorm
“Zinzin” “Putain de merde” “Conne”
“Réveille toi Jordyn! J ne suis pas ton père pour te faire la leçon mais ouvre les yeux! Avant que tu partes tu dois comprendre!
Comprendre que tu fou la merde de partout. Et qu’au final:
Les habits sont à l poubelle, les résidents n’aiment pas ce que tu fais et que tu as insulté des gens!!
C’est grave d’insulter de gens! C’est mal! Ça ne se fait pas en France!” and “une des residences de pitié n’ont pas de porte d’entrée (cassée), des dealers de drogues qui squattent .. Une autre résidence on des murs pourris avec des champignons dans les chambres, Dans une autre résidence il y avait 2 terroristes et du trafic d’arme…”
These words are from a person paid to represent students in the dorm where I lived, the student representative. I never insulted any person: I only said it was ridiculous not to recycle in a university dorm when France literally hosted the largest environmental conference in history, and it is ridiculous, in fact, I stand by my assertion.
“It’s not about that who speaks, but what he/she says. If you speak illogical things nobody will listen you no metter which gender you are or how important you are. And here the thing is not that you are woman, but that your attitude is not appropirate. And instead of answering directly and facing with reality and your actions, you are turning the tables on us.”
“You also stop with your smears and insults toward others. Stop writing just to write. Even in your cover photo , you sleep on carbage. Isnt it true ? Why your photo isnt taken down?, good luck with your carbages.”
“Jordyn Pfalzgraf, I have an impression that you seek for attention and leadership here in the group, and not really only for recycling, because you are terrorizing us with your non-stop commenting, sharing personal life and insulting others. I come here to find useful, short news, not to read your timeline of shopping.
People are putting garbage and skin of banana (dangerous) in corridor, what kind of recycling you expect then and you attack everybody who says something different than your opinion.”
“I agree with Jovana Filipović, we dont have to see your arrogant and agressive comments. Jordyn Pfalzgraf Who are you to speak in a such way with people ? You can sleep in rubbish can if you like so much your beloved rubbish. ;)”
“Va jouer les femens autre part et arrête de pleurnicher stp”
BRAVO for all the misogynistic clichés, ad hominem attacks, the conniving nonsense, the pathologizing pop-psychology, guys, how original, what mental rot, what lamentable bullshit bravo bravo bravo 👏 👏 👏!
