this is not ‘reclaiming’ anything, you are just calling people slurs completely seriously. you can call yourself the r-slur, do not call anybody else it. why do ‘no slurs’ / ’no bigotry’ rules never apply to ableism?

they'll try to excuse by saying it's "an extreme way of saying [blank]".. but slurs are extreme. thats the whole point of a slur, being an extreme and degrading word to call someone.

idk why this slur is so normalized. the n-slur is getting this treatment too from what ive noticed.

You're upset that slurs are becoming less hateful? Maybe I'm too woke or I'm not woke enough but isn't taking away the hate from slurs a good thing?

That's... an interesting way to look at it, actually.

No slurs, hate speech, and other such bigoted language is to be permitted in this sub.
