    I reported a bunch of Republican saying the F and T slurs on Facebook yesterday, and every single report said it didn’t go against community standards. Facebook is shite.

      I was like, "what’s wrong with saying FUCK and… Wait what’s the t word? Oh, got it. "

            Sticks and stones may break my bones, and single words here and there won’t hurt me, but en masse they normalize an attitude of supremacy and derision toward folks that super don’t need any more. No snowflake thinks they caused the avalanche, but lots of us have to live with the consequences of this in daily life regardless. Shock value slurs are also just… tired and played out at this point. Whatever humor they had at one point doesn’t really land in the same way anymore.

                I was reading through that for something to refute but it’s all just flowery words to the point of pretentiousness for the most part imo.

                “I skimmed the article for gotchas but it’s above my comprehension so I’ll just go back to simplifying the issue.”

                If everyone is telling you that you’re wrong, did you ever stop to think that you might actually be wrong?

    I mean I got banned from a lemmy community for saying I didn’t like cops so this is probably more accurate than you think
