Probably because they’ve been called it but chronically online queers say they can’t reclaim it and make up stupid reasons as to why

90% of the time people who have to think about reclaiming slurs are white queers who want to have their cake and eat it too when it comes to anti queer slurs. they want the shock value of saying a naughty word but fear actual repercussions of using that language so they just hide behind “oh it’s okay I can reclaim it!” no matter their original intention

saying slurs is fun like saying curse words is to a 12 year old and doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. words are words and throwing paper at my house of glass will not break it so idgaf🙂‍↕️

I don’t disagree with you, but I’ve been called the d slur for some reason and as a gay man I wouldn’t say it. Even if I’ve been called it it seems more mean spirited to repeat than other things I’ve been called

I do think fighting is dumb but also like. If uou’ve been abused with the slur, lived life viewed as part of that group, you can say it

That’s why it’s all about intention, no? I have lesbian friends who say the f slur and gay friends who say the d slur but neither use them derogatorily. I also have no white friends who use the n word because that’s a whole different thing, whereas the d slur and f slur are both gay slurs.

That makes sense, I guess it really does depend who you’re with and how you’re saying it

I once had the pleasure of meeting this trans gay guy who within an hour of meeting me started calling me a t——- f——-, when everyone else was like “wtf” he said it was okay because he could reclaim it. Obviously he meant it in a derogatory way and we explained that. I think everyone in the group cut him off after that
