slut shaming

The act of shaming someone for seeming to be more sexual or want more sexual attention than you'd like. It pertains to the idea that sexuality is related to being "conquered" or degraded- and so if you're someone who takes part in a lot of sexual activity, you've forfeited your right for respect and have earned yourself the label of a slut. It's particularly aimed at women, and seems to be concentrated in high school, university and frat house culture.

It can also be used to label someone who seems to have low standards for who they engage in sexual activity with.
"Do you see what that girl is wearing? What a slut!"

minority shaming

1. What anyone who uses the term "special snowflake" is doing. Commonly done by edgelords of the internet to look cool.

2. People failing to recognise that third gender individuals and those who lack gender identity have existed long before Tumblr.

People pull out the words “special snowflake” when someone does any of the following:

- Have a profile/blog that talks about their non-“traditional” gender identity, sexuality, or neurodiversity.
- Ever mention that they have a non-“traditional” gender identity, sexuality, or neurodiversity
- Ever talk about any kind of non-“traditional”/non-white/cis/straight/neurotypical/etc. identity
- Want words to exist for that identity so they can talk about it
- Want people to accept that that identity exists

None of that is about thinking they are “special”. It’s about wanting to be able to talk about identities in the same way that other people can by default. That’s when you'll see people use the words “special snowflake”. I’ve never actually seen anyone who made up a non-“traditional” identity because they want to be special, but I have seen a lot of people shamed as special snowflakes for talking about their non-“traditional” identity, and people assuming they are lying, treating them as lying, etc. far beyond how likely it is that they actually are lying.
Calling minorities "special snowflakes" for existing is minority shaming.

Slut-Shaming

Judging a woman for having sex with who she likes. Rarely, if ever, happens to men. Men get called stud and cheered on by their mates. Women get caled sluts for the same behaviour.

Paradoxically women get called frigid and receive the anger of the lonely red pill blokes for not having sex with them but get slut-shamed when they have sex with the actual men or women that they WANT to have sex with.

Literally a double standard with which to judge women for having sex with who they want because men are heroes for having as much sex as possible but women aren't.

More formally known as sexism and usually used by dick heads who laugh loudly that women should make them a sandwich because they are too fucking lazy or incompetent to make their own sandwiches.

Used mainly by neanderthals who think they are macho when inside they are quivering emotional wrecks who could barely speak if they had to name and recognise an emotion besides anger.

Basically another way to judge women because whether we sleep with you or not you still judge us so we might as well just avoid you altogether.
John was slut-shaming Sophie because he was an unevolved sexist moron. John is spreading STDs because he regularly sleeps with multiple women unprotected but calls them sluts for sleeping with him and blames them when he finds outs he has crabs.

dumb shaming

Using well-founded evidence in a public forum to point out the titanic and obvious stupidity exhibited by someone being, at best, a half-wit about something of which they know little or nothing.

Unlike “fat shaming” dumb shaming has less of a perjorative edge for the accuser than the accused, as unlike fat shaming, the person being a stupid fuck-knuckle is in a perfectly good position to not act that way.
Sheesh, didn’t that anti-vax crank just invite a total fucking dogpile of dumb shaming with his latest woo-woo tinfoil-hatted rant?
