Their is no objective measure of if something is a slur. Their is simply a word and some quantity of the population that find that word subjectively offensive against themselves. If enough people say that a word is a slur then it becomes a slur.
People are just insecure about gender; even though it, and all of the traits that come along with it, are entirely made up social concepts that only exist for those that acknowledge them.
Because it's not a real actual thing, it 's entirely open to interpretation and as such some people will see the same thing as good while others see it bad. Because it's found only with a social baseβi.e. an 'identity' or how other people perceive youβthe more aware someone is of other's seeing them, the more likely they are to be passionate about the concept and adhere to it.
Just cos its a made up social concept (I don't think it is but I'll accept the premises for the purpose of the argument) doesn't mean its a bad thing. Morals are a social concept should we do away with morality in the name of tearing down oppressive social concepts?
Oh, that's not up to you, though. This is something determined on an individual level so you have no control over how other people perceive it. It is entirely a brain by brain basis.
So, for you it's not a bad thing, but for others it is. Just as others don't even think about it or care for the concept at all. Involvement in any identity is involvement in how others perceive you. If you're passionate about your identity, how others perceive you, you'll likely be passionate when their perception doesn't match what you're trying to make it.
There's people offended by being given any gender label. Then there's those like me that don't care and see it as something for others to decide, since my identity exists only in their minds and it's not up to me to control how they see the world, or even care too much. That's how we know it's a social concept. If you were born the only person on earth, you wouldn't even have an identity to worry about. You wouldn't know which height is best, which hair colour is best, your "role" in society, what you're supposed to wear, etc. All these social concept never got invented and you're just you.
You are so full of shit dude π
It has to be accepted as legitimate by the most of the population for it to be considered a slur guy not just the people getting offended (hard for you to imagine a small group doesn't get to define legitimacy of words and ideas eh?)
Sometimes a group is right in the complaint about use of a word BEFORE its legitimized as a slur by the greater population, but yeah that's not how any of that works
Its complicated but as for the reductive or objective reasoning on a complex social issue you did, ya done failed bad.
And I don't usually do this but you used the worst fucking one, it's "There" bro
Most basic man alive today does analysis, keep trying but you got some learning still to do
Let's argue about the content of my argument and not resort to personal bad faith attacks on eachother.
So any word that has a 51% of the population say its not a slur is thus not a slur to use? I don't think you are aware of how this would turn out.
So this paragraph exists to negate ur previous paragraph when I inevitably point out that many words u belive to be slurs don't meet the criteria u outlines as slurs. But u can claim that its still a legitimate slur cos its offending a special snowflate "protected group".
Usually an explanation as to why accompanies radical claims line this.
But u did it anyways didn't you. Just couldn't resist being a grammar Nazi hey?
Again have some class and engage my ideas instead of be a condescending insufferable asshole.
Look at all that bullshit you posted, thought just is not your thing is it? But you really want it to be for ingroup status ππ
Your ego is weak and your intellect is softer then mushy applesauce, you attack without thinking about what your even trying to do and emote all your frustration without realizing how weak it makes you appear (reveals)
Gotta get the reigns back bro
Have a better day then this would have me believe your can cause this is unhappy witless person, with an agenda bullshit "wisdom" masquerading as a witty critique (but I suppose to your people/family that's genius so you think it has to be right guy? πππ)
Tho it pains me to see, Ill live through it, I promise π
In case your interested in your answers to your questions, I elaborated in a comment down bellow π
You might learn something about actual intelligence πͺ
you're
See how that's the grand sum of your ability to contribute to the conversation being had?
Yeeeeeeaaahhh that's what the term grammer Nazi was made to point out, not for people going wow, that's not making you look intelligent, might want to fix that so people don't rightly presume youre an idiot cause it certainly seems likely enough already
But hey you do you, and if this is what you feel the priority work is here (and if its the only thing you are really capable of accomplishing today) you get on it bruhdda
I know youre just being a petty shithead cause you think CIS is a slur or whatever but I like to make the world less shithead petty, more smart people funny petty with a point/lesson
Have a fucked day! (Kidding, just be better then this stupid shit next time alright guy?)
