We Don't Need No Theme Mafia - Game over, RED wins

What is scum? Is that a new derogatory term? If you don't make a compelling argument soon, my vote may change to you because you are being too skeptic without any explanation

Scum is a general term for all Mafia/Serial Killer/Werewolf/Cultist factions. If you've ever played more than a crumb of Mafia, you would know that there's more than just Mafia.
Oh, no wait, it's obviously just a derogatory term that I'm using to make myself look like scum by calling people names.

...I'm scum because I'm too skeptic without explanations? Don't you think if I was scum I'd be all jolly-go-lucky hop on the Synthesist bandwagon for this?

Dual:
I wasn't saying that because I was silenced I'm not scum. I'm simply saying if we ever discover who the silencer is, they're most likely scum.
