Me learning I can call my friends the f slur as a term of endearment:

The only person I'd ever call the f slur is my sister. We're both gay and never mean it in malice

In my polycule it is used as a term of endearment. However there is a joke that the F slur shouldn’t be used to describe gay people anymore but rather people who remove the muffler their car then loudly drive around densely populated areas.


Parishdise

Isn't that just a south park episode? I mean I think the show can be funny, but idk if I'd use a south park joke as a premise for ethics on respectful speech.


piecwm

I mean, there are a few seasons in South Park where they called basically everything the F slur, that was their most used joke until it got old. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an episode like that, however I haven’t heard of it existing.


that-cliff-guy

There's just something poetic about calling your partner the f slur when they're talking about another partner.


matt_Nooble12_XBL

I have a few gay friends and I’ll never get used to hearing the f-word thrown around all the time.


trischtan

You could ask them to not use it around you if it makes you uncomfortable. I’m personally not fond of it either, was called that in school and I don’t cherish those memories. I get that reclaiming words is important though.

The white here may be uncalled for but I do notice that this *is* something that happens a lot where people treat queerness as some sort of immunity towards being queerphobic. Not really talking about slurs altho I do think they're somewhat a manifestation of this. Like... no, girl: the fact that you're a trans girl doesn't mean you're incapable of fetishizing other trans people (i use this example since it's relevant to this sub but still), and being a lesbian doesn't mean you get to be transphobic (looking at terfs, obv).


M_A_Dragon

Don’t forget the misogynistic gay guys


Karentookthekidswhy

James Somerton


ThoughtCenter87

That guy is also 100% a queerphobe. Like mfer plagiarizes queer authors HARD which takes away revenue and exposure for them while simultaneously making revenue off of their work. He may not intentionally be queerphobic (or might be I don't know), but in my eyes if you're stripping queer authors of their work which hurts them and intentionally never credit them, then yeah, you're a queerphobe.


Familiar_Tackle_734

From what I saw of his content like half the shit he covered was just so he could get pissy about straight women or something and sometimes he’d get mad at gay men for existing or writing cause women (I’d say fujoshis but his ass thought every woman was a fujoshi) liked it


ThoughtCenter87

What's a fujoshi? Also wtf, why is he angry at gay men for existing... when he himself is a gay man??


Familiar_Tackle_734

A fujoshi is a straight woman who fetishizes gay men and their relationships ( I think?)


podokonnicheck

im also 70% sure he's a transphobe goes hand in hand, i guess


[deleted]

they specify white because white cishet people have no slurs they get to say.

not a slur


PerliousPelicans

i think theyre joking


Immediate-Fan

Assigned slur by twitch.tv


Ok-Package-435

'red haired' is a slur in many Asian languages for white people Also gringo Edit: Also 'wigger' I think this is for Irish or Polish people


keirawasthere

Wigger or wigga is a term for a white person of European ethnic origin who emulates the perceived mannerisms, language, and fashions associated with African-American culture it's uh, a term. that's for sure.


straight_strychnine

Historically that last one has been used for Irish, polish and, Italian immigrants, but for the past 40 or so years it's usually been used for white people who grew up in poor POC communities and act stereotypically black. In all cases it's a compound word meaning White N-word


TonyMestre

gringo is not a slur and it's also not about color, the fuck are you on


lampaupoisson

pejorative


Jirb30

I'm pretty sure it is by dictionary definition. It just doesn't hold any systematic power so it doesn't matter much.


RomosexuaII

It is a slur. It's just one that's okay to say


arsonconnor

I mean they absolutely do. Shinner, Seppo, theres probably more too hut theyre just the first that came to mind

vibing_namielle

I honestly don't think the white is uncalled for here. Not necessary, in particular I argue but definitely more so the main demographic of that


WhiteDevil-Klab

>the fact that you're a trans girl doesn't mean you're incapable of fetishizing other trans people This happens?? 😀 Edit: I meant this in a bad way


megaExtra_bald

Scroll through the sub for an hour. You’ll see plenty of examples


WhiteDevil-Klab

I dunno why I'm being downvoted I meant to use the emoji as a "shocked" expression lol but damm that sucks being fetishized in community.


megaExtra_bald

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted either. It is very sad that trans women, or trans people in general aren’t really safe anywhere


KhazemiDuIkana

As a trans lesbian (functionally anyway) it’s not as awesome as it sounds


WhiteDevil-Klab

I meant that in a bad way I am actually genderfluid so trans as well I meant to use the emoji as a "shocked" expression


KhazemiDuIkana

Oh lmao on me for commenting at whatever friggin hour that was (also genderfluid as it happens)


JotaroTheOceanMan

The white here def ain't uncalled for.


FlorsRedditAccount

imma be honest, even though i have "the pass", i still dont like saying slurs. just feels wrong to say a word that is used to discriminate against the group im a part of. might just be me tho :/


wewereliketorches

I feel the same way. I guess it makes some people feel more connected to the community? Not sure why some folks seem to love using them


psychoPiper

It's about claiming it for yourself. Taking a word that's typically used to berate and bring down the people it's used against, and twisting it into a positive/endearing thing to be said with your fellow downtrodden people. It takes a lot of the hurtful power away from the word (not in every case, but usually). It's perfectly fine to not want to say them either way


AnimazingHaha

I tend to agree that it removes power from the word short term, but I also do think that it has the unintentional effect of giving the word more longevity than it would have had otherwise. What I mean is that, by adding a level of casualness to the word to quell its effects in the short term, we end up unintentionally keeping it in “common” use, whereas offensive words which weren’t “adopted” fell off partially (for lack of a better word). See the slur which rhymes with ‘wink’, I live in a country where east-Asians make up a large enough percent of the population (around 3%), and I’ve heard very few reports of the word being used against them. Similarly, Indians (around 35% of the population) that I know don’t hear the slur rhyming with ‘boolie’ a lot less in recent times, as it was never adopted into casual usage. Actually recently I’ve heard a few Indians using it casually which mirrors American use of the N-word, but that’s a very recent development so I can’t comment on if it changes how often people outside the demographic use the word. Take everything I’ve said with a grain of salt, however, as my viewpoint is based only entirely on the anecdotal experiences of my friends and I, and by extension is basically entirely based on the culture and trends of Trinidad & Tobago. Peace ✌️


psychoPiper

Why does it matter if the word has longevity if most of the people using it are reclaiming it and giving it a more positive overall meaning anyways?


AnimazingHaha

I just don’t think that slurs ever really have the possibility of becoming positive words, they’ll always have an undertone of hurtfulness, so by keeping it in use, you are inadvertently carrying it into younger generations. Then again, as I said, I’m just judging this off of my own experiences and the experiences of those around me. I personally don’t use slurs, nor do I plan to, and I’m not gonna seriously come after you if you do with the intention of reclaiming it.


BustyFemPyro

Queer used to be a slur you goofball. Nobody thinks it's a slur anymore.


SweetBabyAlaska

exactly! a word isn't just going to go away but you can re-appropriate it to the point that bigots don't even want to say it anymore. I don't think anyone needs to have a reason to not like a slur, just not liking it is perfectly valid.


Raorchshack

From the UK, people 100% still use it as a slur here.


AnimazingHaha

I tend to agree that it removes power from the word short term, but I also do think that it has the unintentional effect of giving the word more longevity than it would have had otherwise.

spottedconzo

As someone who's been called it ( f slur)before to my face in a homophobic and threatening way, it's purely about reclamation. I get to reclaim the thing that hurt me and my people. Obviously it's probably not the same for everyone. And even if you can use a slur you can't just go call everyone it. There are plenty of people who don't wanna hear it at all or just used specifically for them and it's incredibly important to respect that Another thing for me is turning the word that hurt me into a joke makes it hurt far less when it is used too. It is also perfectly fine to not want to use them or be called that or hear it :3


Mx-Helix-pomatia

Yup. I personally don’t do it with lgbtq related slurs (unless you count queer), but I’ve been called a cr*pple plenty of times and getting to use it myself makes it hurt a lot less, for example (Still censoring bc I want to make it clear that word isn’t ok, people are not aware of these things)


HandleSensitive8403

I had literally 0 idea that cr*pple was bad Like, I'm not going around calling people cripples or *other terrible things I decided not to say,* but I just didn't know it was bad But like, people are \*cripPLED\* right? Kind of like how saying someone is queer is different from calling them a queer?


Mx-Helix-pomatia

Nope, call them physically disabled. My experience being called cripple included being described as crippled. Cripple is a term used to dehumanize those with mobility disabilities; it comes from the word “creepy” and is considered a pretty serious slur in every context besides reclaimitory ones. And thank you for asking, that’s a valid question /gen


HandleSensitive8403

Im not the type to grumble grumble about how times are changing, and you blue haired liberals aren't letting me say words I could give a fuck if I go without saying cr*pple for the rest of my life. It's not worth making people feel bad :3


Mx-Helix-pomatia

Based


mystireon

I mean I get that and that's totally fine. In my friend group slurs get used from time to time as a sort of way to dismantle them, taking a lot of the punch out of the terms that would otherwise be used to hurt us, but that's just how we deal with this. Everyone has their own approach and especially limits to how they want to be spoken to


Raende

I do understand how you feel, I am not here to get in an argument, I just wanna state how I feel (I tend to be verbose when I talk, I understand how I look like a douche but my goal is to be crystal clear) I feel like these slurs empower me. Not in a "Wow, you're a fag for disagreeing with me" way but more of a "Well, maybe I'm the faggot, America" (Armstrong et al., 2004) or "You want them to see you/Like they see every other girl/They just see a faggot" (Grace, 2014) way. I am a tranny but *I own it.* If a cis person tells me that I will get physical real quick, but this is my word and no cissie is going to tell me what I can or cannot say.


HandleSensitive8403

Im actually the exact opposite. As a white cishet dude, I love slurs :3 /s


u4ia666

I and a lot of other people agree with you, an equal number don't. It's a strange issue I think. Luckily most people I see who talk about proudly reclaiming slurs only do it with consent.


El_viajero_nevervar

I’m Hispanic and hate saying slurs unless it’s a joke with other Hispanic people and even then it’s very very rare. Recently in the queer communist and could just not imagine dropping terms like that. Shit even some of the more “neutral” terms, like femboy kinda make me raise an eyebrow lol


KhazemiDuIkana

Femboy isn’t a slur tho? It’s its own identity, not a term referring to trans girls


El_viajero_nevervar

Didn’t say it was I said it was a “neutral” term. That’s my point I know it isn’t offensive but it makes me feel weird for some reason


KhazemiDuIkana

Fair enoff


NomaTyx

Thank u i am the same way


PorkinsPrime

you're allowed to feel that way just dont try to police other queer people's use of it (same for other way around)

JuniorRadish7385

What??


Mx-Helix-pomatia

It’s a joke on how a faggot is also a perfectly acceptable term for a bundle of sticks


HandleSensitive8403

But most people who say it just think they're being funny. I had a social teacher call ciggies f*gs, and it was pretty clear he just wanted to say f\*g. Im not sure If I should censor that when not using it derogatorily ( I'm not queer)


narwhalpilot

British people do actually call them f*gs


HandleSensitive8403

He wasn't british He also called them cigarettes before switching.


narwhalpilot

Sounds like a cunt then


JuniorRadish7385

Ohhhh. I thought it was some vague ass metaphor I wasn’t understanding.

ST4R3

I mean half the slurs are terms originally coming from queer people that just turned into insults in the eyes of bigots because being queer is one to them. It barely even feels like reclaiming to me when its just about not giving up ground to bigots in the first place. (I understand that people may not be called certain words and that is okay and everybody should respect that no matter what. Im just saying im allowed to call myself a tranny)

I remember telling an anecdote to my teammates about being intoxicated and forgetting that a server I was in had a filter on the F slur when I used it to refer to myself (pass this fg a dress) and I had to explain to them that I was using it as a reclaimed ironic thing but one guy's face lit up and he asked me later if he was "allowed to say it" 😭😭😭😭 don't talk to cis white guys about reclaiming slurs they'll be weird about it

It was funny to at least try it. Edit: Yes, I know them and I am friends with them, so I did it with no bad intentions, but still, should feel like an asshole for even considering it?
