The worst insult

[lacktheknack]

Well, someone ranted at me and accused me of being a child molester, moralistic murderer, unfeeling robot of cruelty and a few other colorful things. On the whole, it has the double-honor of being A. the most unpleasant set of insults ever leveled against me, and B. the worst ATTEMPT I've ever witnessed of insulting me.

And before you ask... the topic of conversation that started the tirade was whether the kids in Fallout 3 were tolerable... and I was on the pro-kids side (which apparently makes me a child molester).

I hate the internet sometimes. >_<

If you're asking for the insult that actually hurt the most, well... none spring to mind. I guess me and Mom have exchanged a few choice words that we regret.

Trying to hit me. Speak all you want about me, call me whatever name you want, I sincerely don't give a fuck. Try to hit me or attack me, now that shows a disregard for my physical person, and I can't allow it.

Trying to discredit me behind my back is also a good way to piss me off.

 

[VashtaNerada]

after being insulted throughout high school...they don't really have any effect on me anymore...but i think the best one is when my mom called me a "son of a *****"

 

[SadisticFire]

Some one called me a stereotypical house wife, which I found almost heart breaking. I try my best to break every stereotype most of the time then there she goes, telling me I am one and going to be one. But it turned out she was just quoting a bunch of movies and trying to find one that I watch.

I watch none.

But it was meant in no ill will so it was kayyyyyyy.

 

[Wraith]

My mother called me a failure once....yeah. Still burns.

 

[ToastedCorpser4Lunch]

One of my friends implied I was autistic. I felt a little offended, mostly because I have a hard time making friends. Though I blame this on transfering schools and being exposed to games as a youngin.

This wouldn't really by my worst insult but my memory is awful so yeah.

 

[King of Asgaard]

I remember the insult like it was yesterday...
'Ye drink bilge water, and your mother dresses ya funny!'

One internet cookie for those who get the reference.

 

[Busard]

"You look like Robert Pattinson"

I still hunt the remaining members of his family to this day

 

[BlackStar42]

I reckon this comes pretty close.

 

[Stasisesque]

I've been called worthless, ugly, a whore, a *****, a ****, pathetic, thick. I've been told my dreams are ridiculous, I'll never amount to anything, no one will want me. A few of these have been said by my own family, which is nice. Others by other peoples' mother's (imagine you're fifteen and your best friend's other friend's mother decides you are the reason her daughter and your best friend haven't been close lately, then goes on to call you ugly, pathetic, stuck-up and worthless), but most by idiots I've spent too much time listening to.

All insults hurt. But the one that got me the most was when I was accused of lying about sexual assault. By a police woman. I hope she's dead.

 

[Subscriptism]

One of the worst was one I received on these very forums. I was kinda sad and went on here moaning about my relationships with some people, including someone I liked. Bottom line was, a guy said something that hurt because:

1. He was totally right.
2. How blunt he was.

If I ever met him again on here, I'd like to have a word because of how insulting he was. Even if it was sort of justified.
I know his username, and I'm waiting.

Would you have paid him the slightest bit of mind if he had put it politely? I doubt it.
I wasn't there but he probably did you a favour, only a shock will sometimes snap you out of it to improve yourself.

OT: Someone said my father smelled of elderberries. Right in the feels.

 

[Caffiene]

Aw. This thread gave me a sad.

I cant think of a particularly bad specific insult thats been directed at me - generally I hate being called stupid, and tend to get upset by it, because I know Im smart and being seen as stupid feels like a failure. But I dont take things people say to heart as much as actions. Some of the stories in this thread, on the other hand, are pretty harsh. Speaking of which:

she said that my dad probably killed himself because of me and for how much of a failure I was to him.
[...] May seem petty

Id like to offer a sincere opinion of "Um... No". Thats not only one of the harsher stories in this thread, it also sounds like it came at one of the most vulnerable times. The fact that you seem to somehow feel guilty about it is kind of heartbreaking. Reading your post, "petty" was the furthest word from my mind.

I was once a moderator on an RP site, and I cast the deciding vote on someone's test (there were positions in the story that needed them). It wasn't really up to snuff, so I said no.

The individual in question exploded into a rant, declaring that I had obliterated his muse forever. There were a few insults, but none quite like the fact that I was apparently a Jewish robot santa that set his standards too high and killed everyone. The two insults were separate, mind (the Jewish bit and the Futurama reference), but came in quick succession. I wasn't really insulted so much as perplexed (and surprised that he went for blatant, slightly random racism), but it was very odd.

 

[fallendong]

I've never taken insults seriously. For some reason that shit just slips right off. Probably because I'm better than everyone.

 

[Whateveralot]

I have had lots of events where people called out for being childish. More often then not, they called me that because they were losing an argument that they themselves started.

 

[knight steel]

The worst insult I've been called:A neckbeard retard.

Well I have 2 major reason's why this pisses me off to no end here they are:

1-I have a Neckbeard......so fucking what? It's hair on my Neck how is that something derogatory,It's just hair on my neck yet somehow that a sin or a transgression-I can't grow a beard elsewhere if I could I would,I don't know why it doesn't grow elsewhere but it's not my fault-and no I don't want to spend time cutting it week after week and getting scratch's.

2-I have a personal reason to hate the word retard especially when it directed at me,one that just thinking about the reason makes my skin crawl and feel dirty and this word always brings this experience up in my memory and so having this used as an insult makes me feel horrible.

The first one's just a pet peeve-mostly because it get's brought up so often that it's gotten irritating and it's always singled out,the second as stated runs more deep and no I will not tell you why so do not ask me.

So yeah thats basically it.

 

[Aetera]

I've been called a dyke a few times and been screamed at that I'm an abomination and I'm going to hell. I think that is the worst, other than the time my dad called me a burden.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Well, after I?d had a bit of a vent over a lot of crap that was happening in my life, my friend said to me, ?Wow, I?m glad I?m not you, you have a shit life.? I don?t know why, but that?s not the response I expected from him (although I?ve since drifted away from him and we?re not really friends anymore). Unfortunate thing was, I did, and still do, believe I have a shit life, for multiple reasons. It?s always easier to point your flaws when it?s yourself doing it.

Or then there was that time my friend claimed that I didn?t have OCD because ?I?ve never seen you do all that cleaning stuff like the other ones?, as if he knows more about my condition than me. OCD isn?t just obsessive cleanliness; it can manifest in different forms. Granted, I hadn?t been diagnosed back then, but I still knew I had it and now I have been diagnosed, I can be 100% sure that he was wrong and I was right. Of course, no-one knows me better than myself.

And a woman at this youth club I used to attend believed that I was mentally retarded because I licked some ketchup off my friend?s knee as a joke. I wasn?t retarded; I was just a weird kid.

And another time, my sister and I were getting ready to go out, and I was kicking up a fuss about something I can?t quite remember know, and she just said to me, ?You really don?t help yourself, do you?? However, I don?t hold it against her, because she?s the person who?s been helping me the most through my problems and encouraging me through therapy and whatnot, not to mention I?ve long been used to her other sarcastic comments. It?s just that one was kind of cutting, even for her.

I also hate being called ?such an idiot? or ?African? (I?m British, my parents are African, get it right, cunts).

 

[davidmc1158_v1legacy]

I suppose the most painful insult I've had directed at myself came from someone who's opinion I highly regarded. She called me "worthless" and an "idiot". That hurt.

I think the most imaginative insult I've personally heard was when a friend told someone she REALLY hated, "You are a single-helix mouth-breather."

What made the moment so perfect was his response: "I know you're making fun of me 'cause you're using big words."

Thank you for your comment What i meant by "petty" was that i still feel angry when i think about what she said and i guess I think i'm being petty in still getting angry about it after 5 years. I feel bad because I understand that she was going through a bit of a hard time after having her child and I do think i probably could have made more of an effort to be there for her. but then again it has also been pointed out to me that i have a tendency to assume blame for such things. I think its a built in fault of mine to feel guilt after ranting. I should change my guilt to throwing faeces at people.
P.S being called stupid is a pet hate of mine especially when those calling someone stupid clearly lack the intelligence construct a half decent sentence, so never feel like a failure and never let someone else who calls you stupid get to you. The more than likely should be deeming themselves stupid.
