@autogynamelia I’m confused what reclaimed slur are you saying
@autogynamelia oh I didn’t know that was one sorry
@autogynamelia correction I knew that used to be an insult and people reclaimed it for themselves I just don’t really know the definition of a slur other then An insult so I guess I did know
@schemmentislove I honestly don't know if most people here would consider it a slur or not. I'm just trying to be careful because this is Mastodon and it has a reputation.
@schemmentislove Generally the difference is that a slur has power behind it. It's a tool by members of a ruling majority to dehumanize members of a marginalized group.
@autogynamelia thank you that’s a very helpful definition
@autogynamelia interesting
Idk most people pay no mind to the word anymore if you’re saying it in a positive manner
@schemmentislove Good to know!
@autogynamelia yeah same with milf which I’d hoped you know but I tried to explain that one to my mom the other day and she didn’t understand but
@autogynamelia I specifically know this from seeing a majority of lesbians and women saying both those in positive manners and not minding, although they are the people it’s targeted to but they said those words towards other people as well but I’m not like god or anything so I would assume it just goes into a persons background if that makes sense
