You don’t get to decide what slurs are.

It is a slur. You cannot pretend that it is not.

All I said was that using slurs is bad, and you’ve become incredibly angry and hateful over it. “Using slurs to own the libs!” is especially pathetic behavior.

I hope you learn to grow and change as a person.

You cannot decide that up is down. You cannot decide that black is white. You cannot decide that cats are dogs.

You do not get to decide to override facts. You can’t decide that a slur isn’t a slur any more than you can decide the sky is red.

You brought it into this thread to let the whole world know what your behavior is like. It’s not nosy to reply to your posts on a public forum.

It is a slur. That is a fact, you cannot just say “nuh-uh” to facts.

It’s honestly very disappointing to see this here on Lemmy. I’d expect this from Reddit, but I thought people here were better than this.

You’ve used the slur countless times in this thread.

But no one in this thread has every said every man on the planet is toxic. Where did that strawman come from? Who are you quoting?

Reclaiming a slur to describe oneself is a very, very different matter from using it to insult others.

You are shootin’ the shit… by using intellectual disabilities as an insult. You can’t pretend that that’s not what you’re doing.

You are literally using intellectual disabilities as an insult. That is what you are doing.

using words like ‘toxic’ to describe every man on the planet

Who are you quoting?

So you understand why it’s bad to use a slur that way?

Maybe try to come up with a more creative way to insult people than by using a slur?

This is the same logic behind saying the f-slur is okay if you’re not using it to describe gay people, you’re just using it to insult a straight person… by comparing them to gay people. See the problem?

Using autistic as an insult, the same way Joe Rogan wants to use the aforementioned slur, is absolutely not okay.

If it’s not a big deal, why were you insisting it was the end of the world when Hillary did it?
