      Straight shooters is a wiggle word to say asshole who doesn’t care about others feelings.

          Because it is? The term used to mean someone who is honest and upfront about things but toxic assholes co-opted the term as a way to excuse bad behavior.

          It’s used infrequently enough that it’s not as obvious, but it’s a huge red flag for someone to say “I’m a straight shooter”.
