parlance?
:I know it refers to >humans, but I'm not sure if it means anything
special.
:Tusker, that's pretty obvious. Dandelion-eater, >that's easy enough to
:grasp. But breeder...there must be something blatantly, glaringly
:>obvious that I'm missing. Enlighten me, please.
:However, since it's almost always applied to humans, I feel that it might
:also refer to the fact that humans are the only metatype that has
children
:goblines/UGE into another BREED.
I think looking for a reason inside SR genetics is a mistake.
<spoiler- inflamatory political rhetoric- used to convey MEANING and
USAGEof term, not as commnetary- go off list if you wish to debate issues
involved, and don't debate them with me, since I have no involvement on
either side- I'm just documenting the lingo for those interested in its
origin>

The current common use of "breeder" is a as a term of insult for
couples who have children. (Not a horrible sin, I know).
The insult is most commonly applied to (suburb dwelling, sports-ute
driving, braindead corp shil environment wasting debt building) wedded
couples- I.E. breeders. Its usage and coinage probably orriginated with
urban (pinko commie liberal baby killing satanic witchcraft rollplayer
drug addict HIV bait) homesexuals, who oppose suburban "breeders" in many
political views.
It's a reactive insult, born of frustration, used by people who reject
the "normal Amerikkkan nuclear family". A sort of "only stupid breeders
have 'normal' fammilies" thing.
So, why would orcs and trolls use the term? Well, they ain't accepted
by norms, can't live in the burbs, and nobody wants them to have
children... Counter culture terms of rebelious insult have a way of
getting recycled into odd usage like that.
