"Degeneracy" is cope anyways, existing as a biological creature is inherently degenerate, people just like to draw lines in the sand with whatever they are comfortable with
I mean think about what you've already done for the day, excrete bodily wastes (solid and fluid), release various waste product gases (through both ends), etc, existing as a biological creature is inherently disgusting and undignified, saying "x is degenerate" is a cope at that point, were all degenerate just by existing, some of us just get to enjoy more of it, and those of us that can't have the habit of labeling those individuals as "degenerate"
