malicitor ( n., adj.)
Applies toheadmates

Malicitor was coined as "a system member who is actively malicious, rarely with the intention to genuinely help the system, who is unable to change". The term was used for persecutors who will “never change” or don’t have a good chance to change, who don’t seem to have a reason to harm.

Malictor is a controversial label and should only be used for self-identification. Some persecutors see this term as a type of slur, against persecutors, as the coiner made the term to harm their persecutors, and labeled people outside of their system malicitors.

It is now a reclaimed term for persecutors, or people who could be seen as persecutors, even if they aren’t.

Persecutors can reclaim it even if they were never called it, and people who aren’t persecutors anymore can also reclaim it.

Malicitor should only ever be a self-identification (or at least consented to, unless they’re non-sapient).

The term was originally coined by Neptune's Sanctuary, but has since been reclaimed.
