Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

"ghouls" is no longer sufficient for these creatures
Yeah, I can’t think of a more apt word tho…
Demon has religious connotation which I try to avoid, but maybe that would piss off the Christian zealots… idk…
Monster is non-denominational, but doesn’t seem has potent as “ghoul”…
Either way, these freaks are deranged… yearning to see people tortured is fucked beyond understanding, but especially so when it’s a victimless crime.
Vampires, demons, redcaps (works on two levels), wendigo, stallo
Wendigo is probably not a good one given the rampant appropriation of indigenous culture surrounding it.
That's very true. Another great thing about ghoul is the adjective is just as good.
I googled for synonyms to see what I got...
- banshee
- bogeyman
- cacodemon (a malevolent spirit or person)
- demon
- devil
- fiend
- ghost
- goblin
- monster
- spirit
- vampire
- wraith

Edit
I think the best solution is if a load word from another language becomes popular.
Fiend is a good one actually.
I guess fiend is best but I don't think it's a good substitute. And it has a certain degree of levity: He plays guitar like a fiend.
Yeah thats a good point. At this point just calling them evils pieces of shit could work too, it just doesn’t have the same brevity of a single word lol.
I'm going to go with descriptor + ghoul: evil ghoul, vile ghoul, horrible ghoul, the worst ghoul, a repulsive ghoul
But nothing is better than an apt noun. Oh, well.
I've thought of ''wight'' before, because it sounds like ''white''.

No fedposting Flakes, no fedposting!
we really gotta start grinding these people into dog food
What did the poor dogs do to deserve that?
oh they're perfectly innocent, as you'd expect.
the doggirls on the other hand...
if you get a little note from a doctor like Megyn does for her drugs, your drug use is okay, but if you don't then you deserve being tortured to death by the state
Protect ya neck!
Urge to fedpost increasing.
Seems about right for a conservative contributor to be saying that out loud
She must be talking about the Sackler family, right?
The clock is still ticking down until they propose literally hunting the homeless for sport.
the american right will finally turn on trump when he refuses to nuke portland
Do we...trust that he'd refuse to nuke Portland? He seems to want to nuke a lot of other things...
He'll compromise with another MOAB strike.
Gavin Newsom was born for this
But if you don't kill them instantly they might tell someone they're fishermen/migrants and not 'narco-terrorists'
