I think it depends on the context, environment, and the people. It's bad to say it to the stranger. It's fine to use it within a group of friend who are comfortable with it.
I don’t think so. Just better not do it than sorry. Ik it’s not the same but like white ppl who has black parents, they still can’t say the n word even tho both their parents are black
personally i think only gay men and transfem people can say the word, since thats who the word was meant to target thats who it was made to hurt, and those groups need to reclaim it first before anyone else can say it. just like how the d-slur was and is aimed at lesbians, therefore only they can reclaim it, even if a non-lesbian can be called it.
that doesnt mean that it removes the history that it was specifically made to target gay men and transfeminine people though like you can use any slur against anyone even people who arent affected by it and itll still hurt because its a slur and youre using it to hurt people but youre not using the slur as intended if that makes sense?
'its always been used as a derogatory term for the whole community' well,, if it started of as only targeting gay men and transfeminine people, that isnt the whole lgbtq+ community nor is that always
like you can easily called a non-disabled person the r-slur and itll still hurt because its a slur and youre using it specifically to hurt someone, but that doesnt mean that person can reclaim it because they were called it, because theyre not disabled
where did i say that im just stating that even though i am the minority opinion (and i know that because ive had this discussion before about this same slur) no-one has managed to change my mind yet.
i am reading them... but i never said anywhere that i wasnt allowed to have an opinion? nor did i hint at it? im asking where youve got that thought from
yeah i just wanted to share my opinion even though mine isnt as popular ^_^ if you dont agree with it, great, but im not forcing my opinions onto you nor am i saying your forcing your opinions onto me i just wanted to say why i didnt think the whole lgbtq+ community could reclaim the word because its important to hear from multiple perspectives
i agree with pisces. they were made to target specific people and just because it's used against others doesn't mean they're able to say it, personally.
ಠ_ಠ: if a black person said their white friend could say the n-word, would the white person be able to say it? hell, even if that person was also bipoc, like if they were asian or hispanic, would they be able to say it? no, no they wouldnt. that slur was made to target black people and people of black heritage, not other races, even if they are also bipoc
okay but its coming from the person it would effect. If he says its alr bc i too am Gay (1/2). and it too would effect me.. And isnt their literally an n-word pass? that MULTIPLE white ppl have bc they grew up in the 'hood' or grew up w/ black individuals.. So i think there is also a f-slur pass..?

but again, this is just what i think, you dont need to think the same way i do at all
