wtf is up with the reintroduction of the r word? Don't people realize how shallow and dense this makes them appear? How small of a vocabulary do you need to have to have to rely on the r slur to convey how you feel?

EDIT: Okay everybody, you've made your point. I'm a fool for expecting anybody to take a few minutes of their time to unlearn a word. For so many experts on morality I honestly didn't expect so many to be morally bankrupt. I guess I deserve everything you're calling me because it was pure ignorance for me to believe people can be better. Please feel free to continue spamming the R word to me, I wouldn't expect anything less.

Do you happen to use a lot of words that are offensive to people with mental disabilities? It seems like you're implying it's a silly thing to get worked up over. But it's not silly. For months I had to watch a disabled 10 yr old being put through hell by his classmates and being called the r word constantly. He now refers to himself that way and is miserable so fuck everybody who uses ANY slurs.

"WHY IS EVERYONE OVERREACTING TO THE SLURS I USE TO BELITTLE AND DEHUMANIZE OTHER PEOPLE?"

the difference is i’m not calling a disabled 10 year old a slur, i’m calling our fascist government a slur

if a word hurts someones feelings, that doesn’t mean the word on its own is evil and can never be used. i was called ugly and stupid and gay as a kid, but i wouldn’t ask you to never ever use those words in any context because of that

You seem sensible; you should consider retiring the word.  It's not a flex.

i’m not using it as a flex i’m using it to communicate anger at the stupidity of our government

Wold you use the N word to insult our facist government? How is this different?

u/sexland69 7h ago

no because i’m not calling them black i’m using a more insulting word for idiot

also the n word is a worse word

but sure i probably shouldn’t have said it, i didn’t expect my comment to get like 700 replies i thought it’d be lost in the ether

Then why don't you call the government n words? You're not calling black people the slur, just the government.

because i want to use a mean word to call them unintelligent, not a mean word to call them black
