it genuinely sucks that words change and become racist. the R word was meant to be the correct term. but assholes exist.

language changes, too fast if you ask me. but it does. we have no choice but to keep with the times.

problem is that reversing it is hard. can be done be the affected communities, like how they did with “Queer”, but not outsiders.

that’s like saying I’m allowed to use the N word because I’m an ally and want to destigmatize it. fuck no. it’s a battle I can’t win and will likely cause harm.
