do some of you even know what reclaiming slurs means?? seriously go touch some real fucking grass I’ve gotten tired of slur discourse in the LGBT community
They’re right though. Slurs are meant to be derogatory, not everything needs to be reclaimed. These are words used to opress us, not fucking Pokémon cards. “Gotta catch all them slurs!!!” How will you ever use the word faggot in a nice way.
Even when used now in a joking manner, it’s always used as an insult. Say with the word “retard”, you can’t possibly reclaim it. Y’all don’t treat slurs like they’re actual things that cause people trauma and distress, y’all treat them like it’s a trendy word that you’ve been dying to say.
Like I get you using it in a joking way (albeit annoying, but I do it too), but thinking that “retard” “dyke” “faggot” and other words are something that needs to be genuinely reclaimed is stupid. Imagine telling others to touch grass when you see slurs as collectibles instead of violence.
I'm sorry what? people can use slurs that they can reclaim in a joking way, for example I use the F and T slur and joke about it with my friends BECAUSE I can reclaim them, I never say it with something negative in mind. also I didn't say anything about the R slur in this post so why are you bringing that up? oh yeah you just used 3 slurs just now so I hope you can reclaim those, like @eijiroustar said.
Wait huh? Are they trying to imply that no slur other than the n-word can be used in a non derogatory context? Do they even know that there are slurs other than the n-word that people use similarly (I mean I personally don’t say it but I don’t have a problem with other bipoc saying it). I’m not sure about the r and f slur because I’m not appart of the group of people who use those slurs and neither are my friends but I’ve called myself a dyke in a positive way and I have Mexican friends who refer to themselves as the b-slur. Why is this person acting like they’re so educated on the topic when they’re clearly not?

I have no idea, but why are you saying the d slur when you just stated that you’re not apart of the lgbtq+ community?? sorry if I misunderstood
