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.
