The antifascistAntifascist techTech wikiWiki '''tells it like it is'''. This means, for example, we will describe a person who [[ATW:Reliable sources|verifiably]] proclaims [[Fascism|fascist]] politics as a fascist, regardless of the possibility of offense taken by the subject or any potential reader. However, editors are not encouraged to over-utilize direct language such as this, as shocking but accurate terminology might weaken the arguments presented by an article if used carelessly. This policy explains how and when to use labels with a negative connotation (fascist, racist, sexist, homophobic, Nazi, and so on).
 
=== Using controversial labels to refer to the article's subject ===
Line 8:
 
Be sure to use the label which is most ''topical'' in these cases. Many labels can apply to one bigot - they may be a racist, a white nationalist, a fascist, and a homophobe all at the same time. In fact, it's likely they are! Use whichever label is most applicable to the article's subject.
