I'm genuinely curious as to why people put so much 'power' into these two words. I mean if we hadn't put any meaning behind, them no one would have to be offended. We wouldn't have to care if we were called them, because at the end of the day, they're just two words said by people.

I mean sometimes in songs, there are people who would say them because it's not really directed towards anyone. However, sometimes when I've others say the [n-word] or the [gay slur] people go off on them.

Yeah, I understand that people now and of the past were called this, but if we just stopped putting meaning and 'power' behind it, it would just be a word among other words.

But just curious though: Why do people put 'power' in words like [n-word] and [gay f-word slur]?

Well, I came across yaoi while in either 5th or 6th grade (age 11). I was trying to see what male anatomy was like since all I ever did at the time was just draw females. So, I wanted to draw other things too. I was looking at some webtoon on webtoon/.com for ideas and I stumbled across a promotion for another webcomic that was gay. I was curious so I looked through it.

Also, at the time I didn't know being gay was considered to be "not accepted" and I also had a small idea of what 2 people fucking was like. (lmfao i had no idea how i knew but i just did) AND I didn't know people could actually be gay.

So, somehow I wasn't so fazed as other people might be. I don't know. It was strange experience for me. Yaoi didn't technically made me uncomfortable because I knew damn well some of this shit just don't happen in real life. But from there on, I kinda just got more curious. Well, here I am on this website. Hbu?
