Trigger Warning for Use of Multiple Slurs
Alright. As you can see, a variety of ableist, homophobic, and violent slurs are used. Let’s begin with the c slur.
This is a sexist term. If you’d like to know why, I pulled something up that I think explains it well:
“The fact that it [cunt] is a woman's genitalia and acknowledged to be the most insulting swear word in the English language simply means that to really insult someone you call them, in effect, a woman. Says it all about the status of women doesn't it?”
Moving on. The r slur. This is an ableist term. I honestly don’t know how to put this into words, so I’m going to pull up the best thing I could find:
“Retarded means slow. Mentally retarded is a common diagnosis when referring to someone who has an intellectual disability. People who have intellectual disabilities are people who have dreams, families, jobs, lives and in some cases - spouses and children. They are not any less of a human being than someone who has a genius level IQ.
Having any disability isn't easy. No one asked to have a disability but lives life the best they can with what they have. To have someone say 'retard' as a put down or meaning something not good or ridiculous - is the ultimate slap in the face. You never know who can hear you and everyone has feelings.
Words have meaning. If you're trying to say that something you did or said is silly or not your best thinking - say something like, "Wow, what was I thinking?" But please do not put down someone's disability that they have absolutely no control over.
Now that you know, it's time to go and educate others about why we shouldn't use the word 'retarded' in a derogatory fashion.”
“Cracker” is a term that should never be used. In the past, it was used to refer to the white people who whipped slaves. It should never be used to refer to someone, especially when the person isn’t even white.
The Q slur is a slur, whether you like it or not. I don’t care who the fuck you’re talking to. You don’t use an umbrella term that is commonly used as a violent slur.
And finally, for the slurs, the d slur. What the fuck. The word dyke is a lesbophobic slur. It is not okay, under any circumstances, to use a lesbophobic violent slur.
And don’t even get me started on the constant “Go kill yourself”-type posts made. This is not okay. The use of multiple violent ableist, sexist, and lesbophobic slurs is not okay, and should not be treated as such.
