What is the best way to react, if someone calls you a degenerate? Just leave them, remembering the insult?

This type of insult targets disabled people specifically?

No, it is a general insult usually aimed at your moral character.

So is it an okay insult to use depending on context?

I am not justifying the insult, just explaining how most people would use it.
