Nah. I’m good. I never was going to pass the “wholesome” purity tests.

maniclucky@lemmy.world 12 hours agoYou look like them when you drop the r-slur. Don’t let their shit behavior and punching down make you worse.

The test was ‘don’t use slurs’. I suspect you have larger issues if that is the hill you want to die on.
I’m autistic. I don’t like seeing that word come back. So I called out shit behavior. Have some godsdamned creativity if you’re going to insult people. Don’t emulate the people you’re insulting.

As usual with all things, it’s a spectrum when, where, and what I’ll use. And I think it’s plenty appropriate to direct it to hurt these fascist nazis.
But to be clear, no I will not pass your test to never use any slur in any context. I don’t think most people would, even on the progressive side of the spectrum. Nor do I think the bar will remain the same for certain people and they are just annoying people into fascism over every single fucking micro aggression.

So. Coming down from my high horse and taking a breath. A good faith question for you? I can understand the first paragraph and disagree with the second, but I would like to let that go for just a second.
Why are you attached to this word? They defend pedophiles, the steal from the poor, they commit atrocities, and they do really bizarre shit like wearing diapers because their leader is incontinent. I get the ‘hit them with what hurts’ angle and can’t say whether or not it’s effective. Is casually hurting others, because two different people in these comments have positively asserted that they were offended, worth not choosing a different word?

Oof. Way to embody your slur of choice.

Just because someone has a mental disability doesn’t mean they are Republican. That seems way more offensive.
