Linguistically and culturally, bitch has been integrated into the English vernacular and the connotation isn’t as misogynstic anymore. Stemfag though? You hear someone pull that one out then thst raises alarms.
Plus, if this is the internal process of someone then I wouldn’t be surprised it bleeds into their every day life, with or without them knowing.

On the one hand, I agree, people don’t always talk in real life the same way they do online. On the other hand, just the mental space where you think “stemfag” is a normal thing to type is enough of a signal that even if you don’t say it in real life, you probably aren’t the most pleasant person to be around
And I know that things like “stemfag” are part of 4chan’s culture, and it is normal to say it there… But isn’t active engagement in 4chan’s culture enough of a red flag on its own?
