i’m watching the video he posted called “honesty” IAHDIWH WHAT IS THIS GONNA BE ABOUT

BRUH 4 MINUTES IN AND HES SAYING ONLY PPL ON TWITTER GET MAD ABOUT THE R WORD I-
ik he doesn’t live in america,,,but twitter isn’t the only place where people are upset by slurs.

he’s saying that when you forbid people from saying slurs it gives them more power i-
only the people in which that slur affects are able to reclaim the word. it doesn’t matter how much power you think it’s gives by calling it a slur, it’s still a slur.

(1) i don’t understand why people think slurs suddenly have no affect if everyones allowed to say them like i reclaim faggot but when someone locked me in a closet twice and called me a faggot multiple times for nothing, it was used in a derogatory way. when those slurs are-

-(2) used by people who they don’t affect, it is always used in a demeaning manner. no matter the context or anything like that, a slur is still a slur and will always hurt people. the power the word holds isn’t gonna go away if (for example) cishet ppl can say lgbt slurs.-

-(3) it just doesn’t work like that.

end of thread thanks for coming to my tedtalk
i won’t be finishing this video and i’m disappointed in the amount of people agreeing with him in the comments that have mcyts as their pfps.
