        so calling him any slur is okay, or just this one?

        i mean, fuck that guy, but that word has a heavy and hateful impact on some people. i just think it’s easier for people to ignore that one than to ignore several others, unfortunately.

          I can get over minor things and words that don’t matter just fine. Can you? Thick skin and resilience matters a whole of a lot more than nagging other people about certain words.

            Do you say the same thing when someone uses the n-slur, f-slur, c-slur, b-slur, s-slur, w-slur, or any other slurs?

            If you can really get over minor things then why did you post this? Seems like you’re still nagging people over word choice. Some thicker skin would avoid this problem.

                I feel myself lose control of my bladder and sphincters all the time. How would I feel myself lose control if I didnt have control to begin with? Checkmate. /s

      The reason good people don’t need rules is because they wouldn’t violate them even if they did. Using that to rationalize being a jerk is misapplying it.

      If you’re a “good man,” you wouldn’t be using the r-slur in the first place. The exact cognitive dissonance which allows fascists to be fascists is that they believe themselves to be good people and therefore don’t need rules. But instead of actually being good people, they use this as an excuse to be terrible to others.
