Since when is "the community" roughly analogous to "yuppies" and since when is being a yuppie a bad thing?

At least some would identify with the lifestyle, etc you deemed “yuppie”. You understand what you are doing with comments like that, it’s divisive and not productive.
Edit: I won’t edit my comment to better address your comment since you edited after I responded.

Surely some identify as yuppies but I think that's immaterial here. Yuppie isn't a slur. It's a colloquial expression for a set of demographics.
You know what's divisive and not productive? Drive-by low effort comments quoting the guidelines and projecting offense on other's behalf.

Are you kidding? It's been a slur for a long time and you were clearly using it as one.

You are intentionally being obtuse and abrasive, please reconsider.
