I think it's too easy to be misinterpreted in a text based format even if you think you know your audience and you'll just villify yourself eventually online. Have you ever heard the internet wisdom about certain communities that are all about pretending to be X as a joke eventually just being overwhelmed by people who don't realise it's a joke?
Real life and in video form? Eh it depends whether I know if the person/host interacting with me is actually hateful or not. I don't partake myself as a white cis dude from Canada, just feels wrong so I won't use the words myself. At the same time I can watch a comedic person skirt that line for a laugh like PayMoneyWubby.
My best friend who is also living with me is both autistic and pansexual with a trans partner. They absolutely call eachother slurs for a laugh and that's fine with me.
Oh yeah, ofc, there is an Italian community on redsit that is all about pretending to be boomers or in general very old people trying to use reddit, some times you see posts of real boomers XD
