>"You are being mean to me."
we can break this up into a few parts
>you
>are being
>mean
>to me

we can discard "to me" since it doesn't impact the rest of the sentence.
>you
>are being
>mean

being, a conjugation of be is an auxiliary verb. These types of verbs are used as the auxiliary of the present participle in progressive tenses expressing continuous action, which in this case it the state of being unkind

so in this case it's actually not comparable. Mean is a adjective. We can rewrite it to something along the lines of
>you are having the state of mean

haha lol if you've read this far into the post it means I've jimmied your rustles lol lol lol
it just looks weird okay? I guess it does work out grammatically (what the heck do I know? I'm not Luke Smith)
the examples I've seen don't use it as a drop in replacement for derogatory

I really tried to be right in this internet post but I've failed and don't want to resort to being dishonest
you win lol
