    No, I’m just trying to convince people that using slurs is a bad idea because if you do, you’ll be subjected to “banal whinging” about how slurs are bad. Thread top could have avoided all this by not using a slur, and nothing bad would have happened.

      It’s not a slur to call Trump anything you fucking want. Stop trying to police language. Punching up is ALWAYS acceptable. YOU brought up asexuality first. You’re the one with a problem.

        So, if someone were to call Trump a

        Warning: hate speech

        faggot ladyboy tranny autist r*tard orange-n****r

        , you would 100% agree with this move and applaud the person describing Trump with these words?

          I couldn’t give a flying fuck if some monster wants to call a worse monster bigoted nonsense. My world is so much bigger than the grumblings of morons.

            Well, as a gay and trans autistic person, I don’t think those words are appropriate to use in earnest in any context. Maybe you should try listening to minorities on the subject of slurs.
