> uses "faggots" unironically

It's not in the subset of ironic use approved by the sexuality discussion police, but I'm pretty sure it's still meta as fuck.

Spoilers: It's because it pisses off SRD.

Yeah, only SRD could potentially have a problem with a hateful word like that!

I didn't say it was exclucivly SRD, I said it's one of SRD's buttons. This sub is getting blatently played.

edit: Wow, I'm not even trying to be confrontational, pull one over on you, troll, or anything. Just laying out that the word "faggot" is going to start drama in SRD if you let it, and you're letting it.

Saying nigger and tranny etc. will also start drama, should we be throwing those around like sweeties just so that edgy teenagers think SRD is cool?

I'm not saying that SRD should throw them around for affect, I'm just saying that if and when they do get thrown around people choose whether or not they let it wind them up.

Its really not. If you have no control over your reaction to reading second hand words, that are not even popularly supported in this space, you have issues. The harm from words like this, mostly come from when they have exclusionary power, and say for example in a large community of which you aspire to membership of, that can be hurtful and harmful to a person.

An unpopular individual using the word "faggot" or "tranny" should matter a lot less to you in a place like this, than it would if it was a general opinion, which was exclusionary to you, showing lots of support, upvotes and comments in this place if you aspire to membership in this community. I've seen opinions thrive in here, which are exclusionary and hurtful to LGBT people, and no one bat an eyelid.

I'd be more inclined to say that was stupid, and shows the lack of understanding and sensitivity in a community, not people bitching about individual and isolated single words, being spoken in the absence of popular support. This circlejerk reminds me of how people bitch and moan about Ableism and make it exclusively about policing words, and not about understanding the lives of disabled people.

Policing isolated solitary words is fucking stupid.

You're right.

They're offensive for a reason.

You can't reappropriate a word overnight. It takes time.

The fact that words affect us as much as we let them is unpopular.

Sarcastically invoking the crackpot space alien lizards and antisemitic conspiracy memees to discredit your opponents wont work here SRS shill, we all know the SRS conspiracy to bring reddit down is a very real threat upon the establishment here.

There's a difference between quoting someone and actually calling someone a faggot.

It's still bullshit. I don't agree with using any of the slurs. I especially whether a quote or not, want to see it in titles.

They aren't just quoting someone, they are using it as an excuse for using hateful words.

How you figure that? I am far from sjw's, but I still don't think slurs are cool. Do you think that they are?

I am so confused right now, am I getting down voted by srs, or anti srs people.
