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
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.
Because it’s a hateful slur unless you’re talking about a bundle of sticks.
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
Censoring it doesn’t harm you, either. It’s a word that’s only purpose is to spread hate. Nothing of value is lost.
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?
So… you have been asked to not spread hate, and you ask why?
We respect Christ in here
Or a packet of cigarettes
I think you meant “fags”. Not quite the same word.
Derived from the same word, but an abbreviation of it.
According to Wiktionary, “fag” as in “cigarette” is probably derived from “fag end”, (from “fagge” meaning “flap”), rather than “faggot”.
“fag” as a slur is derived from “faggot”, of course.

Faggets?
So?
You obviously haven’t had it used against you as a call to violence have you?
No, I got called other words. Not banning them either. The R word is our word.
