could it be possible that it doesn't affect you because you arent gay and nobody has a slur that they can use to dehumanize and degrade you? could it be possible that the reason the word "faggot" is associated with being "oversensitive" and "ridiculous" is because those are both pale stereotypes that have been and continue to be attached to gay people? could it possibly be said that you can use a thousand different words that aren't actual slurs against homosexuals instead?
i don't get it. most people understand not to use the n-word casually because it's insanely offensive and calls back to slavery and segregation, but barely anyone bats an eye at a term that originated with throwing gay people directly into fire because they weren't worth tying up on the stake with the witches. we live in a society where its Completely Necessary to start a campaign telling gay teenagers not to kill themselves because It Gets Better and people will eventually stop treating you like shit. we live in a society where a guy can donate to organizations that actively hurt and degrade human beings because of their sexuality or their gender and be Praised for it and people will eat his fucking chicken just to prove they dont care about the well being of gays. all this and its Perfectly Fucking Okay to use a slur to describe people you're mildly annoyed with.
AND THATS ALL I HALF 2 SAY BOUT DAT. faggot out
