degraders
Those who demean
Degraders are things or people that degrade—that lower quality, status, or condition.
In biology and chemistry, degraders are organisms or substances that break down materials: bacterial degraders of plastic, protein degraders in pharmaceutical research.
The term appears frequently in environmental science, where degraders decompose pollutants or waste.
A person who degrades others—through insults or humiliation—might also be called a degrader, though this usage is less common.
