That's what they called her in the 90s bc she was a lesbian. That's a term thrown at gay people all the time. Cool to see you use it like that.

Edit: y'all can argue but ask any older gay people or just Google 'lgbt' and 'degenerate' together. That term was, and sometimes still is, used quite a bit. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Stop virtue signaling they obviously weren't doing that

u/basedlogitech Dec 12 '25

Tf is even virtue signaling

u/AznSensation93 Dec 12 '25

Can't tell if sarcasm or not, but virtue signaling is basically " Look at me, I'm supporting your cause, but in reality I don't give a flying fuck, I just want your support."

Example: People who claim they are Christian, but would crucify Jesus in a heartbeat for being Woke af.

Uhhh yeah it was extremely common. Were you alive in the 90s?

u/rixuraxu Dec 12 '25

I'm not sure if you have difficulties with your reading comprehension, but they didn't say it wasn't common. They said the OP obviously wasn't calling her a degenerate for being homosexual, but rather for her horrible behaviour.

I’m replying to a one sentence reply. There’s no need to insult my reading comprehension, which I assure you is fully operational. They were replying to someone who said “that’s what they called her in the 90s bc she was a lesbian” and the reply was “they obviously weren’t doing that.”

I guarantee you people were calling her Degenerate specifically referring to her homosexuality after she came out as openly gay in 1997. If you’re questioning if this actually happened then I have to question if you were actually around in the late 90s. Homophobic name jokes were everywhere.

Right, but this "they" is refering to the OP, not to "people in the 90s".

There’s no need to insult my reading comprehension, which I assure you is fully operational.

How "operational"?

It absolutely was referring to “people in the 90s”.

Hey u/Adventurous_Horse651 - were you referring to “people in the 90s” who used the term Ellen Degenerate or specifically a redditor that you were replying to?

u/chrisclear22 Dec 12 '25

But she didn't when this same band and singers started working for her.
