What's the deal with liberals suddenly calling people on here "troglodytes", is it just because it's offensive but won't get them jumped for ableism? (hexbear.net)

I feel like it's been a popular 10-dollar insult for a while - something that makes you feel clever because your interlocutor has to spend the 30 seconds a dictionary search takes these days to look it up. The higher prevalence is probably a sign that there's more teenagers around and you should just respond by telling them that sesquipedalianism is a coital impediment.

Rpgs have poisoned my brain. I've always known troglodyte bc it's a dnd monster from 40ish years ago.
