So the kid is TECHNICALLY by definition a bastard. A child of unmarried or divorced parents is a bastard. Probably why it's falling out of use as an insult since so many people now qualify as one. It used to be highly looked down on (basically "your moms a ho" ts) but now it's pretty tame if you actually know the meaning. So they're not wrong tbh. Just shrug it off or get married before having the kid.
