Soft bigotry: all too happy to take Koerner to the "cleaners" :) in that there's actually something OG-Darwinism here, not even "social". I'm of the opinion that all personality-disorders are (genetically) adaptive one way or other. Maybe Regency aesthetes do find the dour Colin Firth look+manners as attractive as bronze agers found their perverts? Think PH had something about the sadist-masochist pairing having strong selective (coevolutionary) pressures at the moment of orgasm? It's very mechanical, so sorry that Sade was born a century too early.

Hard bigotry: I'm with you on this one, so let's look at

Sharp bigotry: projecting personal suffering on other tribes or, less sensibly, your own tribe. Upper middle class intellects- "existential suffering". From zero to minus one? (Original sin sounds like a weird rationalization for inventing laughter?)

The M-H scales that I like best right now are the ones that separate flawed democracies from the others :) it looks like we only have to rotate the emo-xpressivity axis by a small angle ;)

Kidult. Yes. Minor correction to be explicated later
