User:Marianna251/Insults

To be clear to anyone who stumbles across this page: this is not a list of insults from me directed at anyone else. It is a list of insults I have received from vandals as a result of reverting vandalism edits.

I started this list on 11/03/16 (date written UK-style, i.e. DD/MM/YY) because I had been getting the impression most of the insults directed at me were specifically directed at me as a woman, rather than being gender-neutral. However, I wasn't sure if I had that impression because I genuinely was getting more like that, or because I just noticed the gendered ones more. I tried going back through my edit history to find a few obvious examples and found a few, but I know I've missed a few. Given that I won't catch every insult directed at me anyway, I won't bother classifying or analysing this list until I have a much bigger sample size.

For clarity, I consider an insult to be anything that refers to me directly in a negative, patronising or invasive manner, and/or deliberately changes my words (such as template messages or my user page before it was protected) to represent me in a negative way. I don't count gibberish, anything not in English (amended since google translate has made non-English insults obvious), or blanking as insults. I've realised that the insults could cause distress to people reading them because they could be sexist, racist, anti-semitic, homophobic or otherwise be generally distressing, so their text has been hidden so you have to highlight it to read it.

This will only ever be a partial list, not least because I don't go looking for insults.
