What is the best way to react, if someone calls you a degenerate? Just leave them, remembering the insult?

This type of insult targets disabled people specifically?

    No decent person would use the word degenerate. Just don’t interact if you can

      I know a fairly large number of amazing people who use the word degenerate somewhat frequently. That said, they are all definitely degenerates and proud of it.

      I may not be a decent person, but I do have a discord channel called The Department of Degeneracy where we post dark, spicy, and doomer memes that would make grandma gasp and clutch her pearls.
