someone [comrade/them, they/them]

It was well intentioned, and I think most people reading his comment in context will probably be OK with it. But I think it’s also one of those things that may be linguistically clever and technically not a slur but also just massively unwise. Like referring to a politician known for their spending cuts as “removedrdly”. There’s just better synonyms out there that aren’t going to cause a media shitstorm.

Update, I hadn’t realized that would be filtered out here. In any case I’m referring to a synonym of miserly. Just look at the list of synonyms for the obvious problem one.

I love this comic.
