it's always an exhausting conversation. slurs are like any other word, in that they can be used to deliver meaning.

the meaning can be aggressive and unwelcoming and break the possibility of community; we can't coordinate with many people if they start picking up 'hate group' vibes

the meaning can be healing and reclaiming and powerful; i like being a faggot and a freak, and even if some people are scared of my words i never expected to be digestible to a universal audience and it's more capitalist recuperation when we behave as if a YouTube audience is watching everything we do
