It's also worth noting that insults don't need to be real language or any language.

Just laughing can be incredibly offensive.

So an aggressor has infinite words to use and is effectively impossible to censor.

I hesitate to mention SouthPark, but they do an episode where Cartman is especially cruel using laughter as his weapon. It's quite effective and obviously offensive. Unlike the list in the article.



I expect laughter will be a banned behavior on next year's version of the list.
