Here is the problem: These people very carefully choose their words.

This has not been my experience with Trump supporters on the internet. Ever.

Yes but they are a different species. North America has the appropriately named North American beaver whereas they have the Eurasian beaver.

Eurasian beavers were actually nearly hunted to extinction by the onset of the 20th century but fortunately conservation efforts have led to their population numbers rebounding considerably.

Like a remake of The Godfather but all the characters are played by Larry The Cable Guy and that guy with the racist puppets, Jeff Dunham.

Wow that's quite the thorough list. You've included a bunch I've never even heard of. I use a combination of public SearXNG instances, DDG, and Leta (Leta acts as a proxy for Google and Brave search results and is only available for Mullvad customers.)

I'll just drop this here:

This dude isn't just your run of the mill conservative idiot, he's exceptionally stupid.

Apparently so! Although, a reasonable person would have to conclude that their relative's feelings about their use of ableist slurs is not an actual consideration. Assuming they aren't just lying of course. Nobody lies on the internet to win an argument. Especially not people who freely choose to die on the hill of "I'm allowed to use slurs."

The in-universe explanation is that his surname is Kravinoff and it was anglicized to Kraven when his family was exiled from Russia. The real world explanation is the character was inspired by General Zaroff from The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell and he was a super lame Spider-Man villain for 20+ years until Kraven's Last Hunt in 1987. So it's best not to put too much thought into the name beyond accepting that it's intentionally oxymoronic - it wasn't supposed to be a flattering depiction of big game hunters.

Well that makes sense, after all, Nazi bars do tend to be hostile to members of any minority group and Twitter is the biggest Nazi bar on the internet.

Gotta lay off the avocado toast, Swifties.

They aren't debating the definition of the word. They're pointing out that Sony did not create the character. Marvel did. Specifically Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

AUSTIN, TX—In the latest round of layoffs for the company’s struggling automotive division, electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla fired the entire team behind brakes, sources confirmed Wednesday. “As we continue to rightsize the Tesla workforce, we have come to the decision that stopping the car is no longer a critical function,” said CEO Elon Musk, whose announcement came as a shock to the team of 500 Tesla workers responsible for the electric vehicles’ braking systems. “As the brakes never really worked anyway, we figured the team’s existence was redundant. Going forward, none of our models will be outfitted with brakes. Instead, we will shift our efforts to making fart noises louder.” At press time, Tesla staffers responsible for wheels were reportedly nervous after receiving an ominous meeting request from HR.
