Side note, but I’m pretty sure Stockholm syndrome was disproved, because the robbers were relatively normal people, and the police were such assholes the people ‘afflicted’ just didn’t want to help them.

This is correct. The police were incompetent and endangered the lives of the hostages, and afterwards one of the hostages (a woman) told reporters “At least the robbers expressed some concern for our safety.” The police were indignant and smeared the hostages as emotionally unstable and brainwashed by the robbers.

“Stockholm Syndrome” might have been forgotten as baseless slander but a couple of years later the Patty Hearst trial was all over the media and defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey (whom you might remember from the OJ Simpson trial) tried to use a “brainwashing” defense for Hearst, who had actively participated in crimes committed by her kidnappers. The defense failed, but the “syndrome” was implanted in the public consciousness.

As you might know, Bluesky has been a haven for sex workers from its launch because of the difficulties they experienced on Xitter. As a result, they have well-established follower networks on Bluesky and their advice to new arrivals is being frequently repeated. The term “SWers” is accordingly in relatively high usage right now.

So of course we are now divided as to how best to spell out this term in a Size context. My suggestion is “Shrunken Womanizers,” which I would happily apply to myself, but others may disagree and are invited to make counter-proposals.

This is how I imagine most of you look.
