#offensive language

[kemetic-dreams]

The term "Bushmen," now often considered pejorative, originated from the 17th-century Dutch term "Bosjesmans," meaning "people of the bush," and was used to refer to the San people, the indigenous hunter-gatherers of Southern Africa

While the term "Bushmen" is still used, it's now often considered derogatory or offensive by many South Africans, and the term "San" is preferred in official contexts

Agatha Christie's Novels Edited to Remove Offensive Language

Agatha Christie's Novels Edited to Remove Offensive Language

Agatha Christie’s novels are the latest books to be edited to remove offensive language this week.  According to The Guardian, novels including Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple written between the 1920s all the way to 1976 had passages edited, reworked, or removed in new editions by Harper Collins.

Just a casual reminder that the terms GNC (gender non conforming), femme, hell even f e m b o y exist, and are all far less offensive than tr*p/tr*nny/s*ssy.

Because even if someone is cis and "a tr*p", you are still implying that by them being comfortable and wearing feminine clothes is inherently decieving and "tricking" straight/other cis people into dating them. Thats what that term means. Thats what people meant and mean when they call people that. Even if you didnt do it deliberately, you should be able to look at the information out there and make your own informed decision.

There is nothing wrong with cis men being feminine. There is nothing wrong with cis women being masculine. There i s something wrong with using inherently transphobic words to describe them and then saying "its fine cause they're not trans".

BNHA - Villain_AU (Big Brother time!)

In this AU Akarin’s parents died in a car accident and Tomura found her alive. He decided to take care of her and raise as his own sister. Their bond has become strong and nowadays Akarin - despite her young age - is truly a powerful villain. No wonder that Chisaki decided to take advantage of that... ;)

(Shigaraki Tomura, Kurogiri and Chisaki Kai are from BNHA. OC Akarin belongs to me. Don’t use/repost my work without my permission! Reblogs and likes are really appreciated! Check my masterlist or my DeviantArt page for more art! ♥️)

**pre-hansongate confession

“Just when I think I can get behind the guys in what they are doing their ignorance shows in ways  that are incredibly disappointing. It is 2020, it is way past time to stop using the term “retarded” to refer to something as stupid or to insult others. The term is derogatory and is considered a slur by those with physical and cognitive delays. I completely understand that they were joking, but honestly it’s time to remove the word from their vocabulary particularly in podcast scenario. Grow up guys, time to own your privilege as able bodied cis white males and stop being offensive.”
