Or is it the other way around?

    It’s not about my reading naughty words. It’s about marginalized groups being attacked every day and our language reinforcing their status. You aren’t hurting Trump when you call him those names. You’re hurting the people you’re using as pejoratives.

    I am angry too. I don’t call people slurs in retaliation. Appreciate the apology but let’s just maybe not use that language?

      I am not going to self censor for you and your feelings, however I will use a different word that conveys the same affect in the future that should be more descriptive and colorful.

        I’m not asking you to censor yourself for me and my feelings. This is the exact same logic as not running around calling someone the N-word or queer people their common slur. Do you think you are censoring yourself for my feelings when you don’t call someone a slur?

        Quit being a fucking edgelord and grow up
