The word flat out? No. I don’t feel it crosses a hard enough line. Plus, while I doubt a gmod player would use it in this way it has an alternate use that doesn’t just refer to “mentally handicapped” or whatever the pc word is this year. There’s a list of words that should come first that have less uses and are directly more -ist than this one.
It’s use, in the way you’re envisioning? Yeah, you really could swing an argument for that but tbh I don’t see that argument going far in this community. The first word we adopted is the poster child of banned terms and even that people have tried to reel back, to obvious results. The second is a newer term and has become particularly inflammatory on the internet these days. “But it can also mean a bundl-“ that’s with one g, and it’s certainly not a still used technical term. Your proposed term can be considered harassment or another issue in the right scenario, which probably happens daily, but is widely enough accepted that - well you can see above posts.
