    Yes. 🤦 Jfc, “asking me not to use a slur against disabled people is a slippery slope to asking me not to tell people to kill themselves.” Fucking, good!

    how many times do i have to explain that im not using it against disabled people.

      I like how you completely ignored my arguments.

      Is it acceptable for a white person to tell another white person they’re “acting like an [n-word]?” Yes or no.

        it wasn’t good, you just threw some shit in a bowl and went “ooh argument”

        Is it acceptable for a white person to tell another white person they’re “acting like an [n-word]?” Yes or no.

        again, i’m not saying that people are acting like retards, i’m calling them one. There’s a contextual difference that you don’t seem to understand.

        Now if we’re going to fix that argument for you, free of charge you would say something like “is it ok for a white person to call another white person the N word?” could go either way depending on the context. Heavily context dependent usage.

          God, what a shit perspective.

          Comparing someone to a category as an insult is also insulting the people in that category regardless of whether the person it’s directed at is part of the category or not. Calling a white person the n-word is offensive to black people, calling a straight person the f-slur is offensive to gay people, and calling neurotypical people the r-slur is offensive to the mentally disabled.

          If I call you a “pasta eater” it would only work as an insult if there’s an unstated assumption that eating pasta is bad. If I call you “gay” it only works an insult with the unstated assumption that being gay is bad. This isn’t rocket science.
