WORDS DO MATTER. WORDS HAVE MEANING. WORDS CAN HURT AND CAN KILL. WORDS CAN RUIN LIVES. I am so tired of this trend of choosing what is bad and what is right. If you think that saying the n word in a fanfic In a clear fake context of racism THEN why using the r word in fandom spaces towards real people is whatever because it's not meant to hurt??? One of my favourite things is the usual I'm part of x community and I'm not offended well YOU aren't??? That doesn't mean it's right? We went from "dumb" is ableist to "it's OK to call people fucking mentally ill" bc it's harmless. It's not. Ableist words are the most used online and the most normalised. You can suspend the judgment but still make clear that it's better not to use a certain word not even if you say it just to say it. Calling a beautiful girl ugly even if she's not doesn't change the hurtful and bad meaning of the word. Now imagine calling someone fat or ped0 or delusional or re*Ard or f*g etc or putting white or straight before Jewish or gay to cover up the bigotry. Yes context matter but not in the way a lot people mean. If it's to insult real people using a word that denigrate a whole group of people IT'S WRONG and it is intentional harm.
