absolute unit

“Hidden cat …”

Just because PewDiePie is “a nazi” or a “white supremacist mouthpiece” or “straight up promoting fascist authors on his channel” doesn’t mean it was okay for someone to pour chemicals into his pool in order to turn his skin blue while he takes his morning swim, and put orange pigment in his shampoo to make him look like a party clown. Nor does it make it okay for them to put super glue on his Bluetooth earpiece so it gets stuck when he’s trying to call his assistant about getting turned blue by his swimming pool. That’s illegal, and the person who did it should go to jail.

in a Young Adult novel it would just be called The Storm

In a Terry Pratchett novel it would just be called Alfred. Not Hurricane Alfred, or Tropical Storm Alfred, just Alfred. This might be brought up once by a naive, sympathetic viewpoint character, but some wiser (for certain values of wise) character will admonish them for discrimination against natural phenomena, and noting that we would never call a human “Human Jim”. Later in the story, the Alfred’s individuality and relatability will be a significant plot point.

in a cyberpunk novel it would be the second half of an ordinary word, with an apostrophe at the beginning. the ‘phoon, the ‘cane, etc.

goddammit you’re absolutely right
