These are largely pronoun sets that were coined without investigating context and have slurs in them, typically by accident. Some others were just poorly thought out. Some of these may be reclaimed or used with discretion.
Animals
- coon/coon/coons/coons/coonself [raccoon themed, "c--n" is an antiblack slur]
- ra/coon/coons/raccoons/raccoonself [raccoon themed, "c--n" is an antiblack slur]
Myth and Folklore
- cryp/cryp/cryps/cryptids/cryptidself [cryptid themed—okay over text, when spoken "cryp" sounds exactly like the ableist slur "crip"]
Plants
- co/lum/bi/bine/columbineself or columself [columbine flower, "columbine" may be misinterpreted as referring to Columbine High School/the Columbine shooting]
- nar/narc/narcir/narcirs/narcself [as in the narcissus flower—"narc" is an ableist slur for people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder]
Nonthemed
- heshe/shim/shims/shers/shimself ["heshe" and "shim" are transmisogynistic slurs]
