I mean, yeah. A lot of people do. I’m not somebody who swears a lot anyway, so slurs aren’t my thing. That, and I don’t want to be an ass to anyone if I can help it

Yes there are many better words to use if you’re upset you can’t use one you’re not creative enough with your insults

They’re different words with different historical contexts I don’t think they’re comparable. I just don’t get why people are so upset that some people are uncomfortable with the use of a word. I’ve have had friends change names or titles because they got married and it’s so easy to change the language I use.
