Uh, I hate to break it to you, but misogyny and racism is still misogyny and racism when weaponized by assholes.

Words have no inherent moral value. They can't be racist or misogynistic.

The people posting them may very well be racist or misogynistic- or they may just be trying to emotionally damage someone that is otherwise untouchable.

You cannot use misogyny or racism without perpetrating misogyny or racism. By treating gender and race as a weakness, one is engaging in the discrimination at the most fundamental level.

It's not "may very well be". They are.
