- 2014 June 23, Amanda Marcotte, "Let's Put an End to 'THOT': The Misogynistic Phrase That's Sweeping the Nation", The Daily Beast:
- ...the appearance of the word “thot” in the whole mess shows how much it’s morphed into the same kind of word as “slut”—a catch-all way to put any woman in her place by suggesting that she’s somehow too sexual. But, of course, it’s a game women can’t win, because if you’re not obviously sexual enough to be called a “thot,” then you’re simply going to be disparaged for failing to be sexy enough.
- 2017 May 8, Roy Wood Jr., "State of Black Shit", The Daily Show:
- That's why we're counting on you, Black Twitter, to continue the innovations in the field of slang. Never has black slang been appropriated so quickly. The other day, I heard two middle-aged white dudes calling each other thots. That word is gone.
- 2018 May 25, Samantha Cole, "Pewdiepie Is Teaching His Audience that Women Are Asking For It", Motherboard
- While Kjellberg struggled to keep his eyes off their chests, he "jokingly" called women in the video “stupid Twitch thots,” a derogatory term for women that stands for “that ho [whore] over there.”
