is the R word a "slur" against? I'm failing to comprehend how a word can universally be a slur without the definition or origin of the word being derogatory.

I'm failing to see why I have 2 violations for a word I was using in context of it's definition:

you can't, that's literally against the point of a slur. slurs are socially designated actually i've already said this so we finally hit repeat. OK i'm done we can lock this now

Slow name a separate "slur" that contains the definition of the people it's "slurring".

nazis isnt censored, but n@zi is. using "you can't post it on the forums therefore it's a slur" is bad reasoning, bc the censor isnt actually 100%


actually i don't really care what you think, it's just convenient


so how much longer before you spontaneously combust again and leave?


whenever this stops being fun. it's not that serious, you need to stop being perpetually frustrated. it's not good for your mental health, anyway.

The R word isn't a slur, read the definition.

I'm saying that if you can say "lynch this homo" there shouldn't be a problem with using the R word to describe someone that shoots the uncc'd cop.

Or in the case of my first violation where use of the R word improved the content from the person it was used towards.

Nothing funny about your inconsistent beliefs and the hypocrisy resulting from such.

i'm not offended by my own usage of the word homo and no one else would be because homo isn't a slur and it was used jokingly

you're literally making the "blacks shoudln't be able to use the n word" argument, but instead about gays and homos, which makes it even funnier


I would never make this argument. I'm not one to dictate someone speach outside of being deliberately hateful, and through that I wouldn't blanket ban words because that's petty seeing as we have moderators that should be making the call instead of blanket banning words.
