Phobic denotation ordeal

The curious and unpleasant yet unsurprising and common experience of looking up a person's name (perhaps your own) on Urban Dictionary and finding that the results become more and more

A) disgustingly homophobic (gaynotation)
B) shaming of fat people (fatnotation)
C) slut shaming (whorenotation)
D) racist (racenotation)

as you scroll down or go past the first page.

Option A occurs mostly with typically male names. When occurring with typically female names, it tends to be that the definitions are about male homosexuals anyway.

Option B and C occur mostly with typically female names.

Option D occurs mostly with typically male names, for some reason.
1. Francis is "some fag"
3. Sarah is a "dyke" and also a "noun" (Thanks for the clarification! Nothing gets past you, homophobes.)
4. Ashley is "usually a fatass"
5. Karen is a "hoebag"
6. Mario is a "Jew bitch cock"
