    Thanks, I’m used to Ivan as a slur for Russians

    Igor evokes “hunchback mad scientist assistant” to me.

    As in Marty Feldman from Young Frankenstein, but others as well

      It’s too obvious when Ivan is used.

      Agreed usually Igor for me too but I’ve seen Ivan and Igor used so much here by specific accounts it’s sadly be becoming interchangeable when on fediverse. Or honestly anything that is critical of democrats
