Because it's a hateful slur unless you're talking about a bundle of sticks.

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's in a meme. Reading it doesn't harm you. Anymore than reading the other stuff in the meme does, or even just knowing it's written

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Censoring it doesn't harm you, either. It's a word that's only purpose is to spread hate. Nothing of value is lost.

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

It does, because I call my bf a removed teasingly. And a lot of my gay friends do the same.

You're welcome to say whatever you want to your family and friends. This is a public forum.

So.. you have been asked to not spread hate, and you ask why?

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

A word is not hate.

I think you meant "fags". Not quite the same word.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Derived from the same word, but an abbreviation of it.

removed is the word that people are getting sensored for I honestly didn't even know that was a slur I just thought it was just a insult like fucker or bitch classy no but you haven't noticed people tend to insult and get into fights with people like you know someone is sheltered if they are surprised that people fight online

You obviously haven't had it used against you as a call to violence have you?

[-] kleenbhole@lemy.lol 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No, I got called other words. Not banning them either. The R word is our word.

[-] UnculturedSwine@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I would rather people don't use it at all if you don't mind and I gladly censor myself when it comes to other slurs. I can't convey the mental anguish and self hatred that I've suffered all because of an immutable characteristic of my sexuality. You can treat it lightly because you haven't gone through that suffering. It's one thing for someone to make fun of you for kicks. It's quite another for entire groups of people to hate you because of what you are.
