Why are you using that slur, not even bothering to censor it when she herself doesnt even bother using it and just refers to us as gay guys? Just rewrite your title.

Can submitters even edit a topic without outright deleting it?

I know some bisexuals are incredibly gleeful of using that word since they have the same intense resentment towards gays and lesbians as transexuals do but i find it interesting that the mods here dont delete or tell him/her to remove her post when the trans person themselves dont even use it.

I used it because every single one of these women larping as gay men gets around to using it eventually, either “reclaiming” it for themselves or to attack the nasty gay men who won’t worship their lady parts as being part of a gay male body.

how is that even an attempt at rationalization? "i call black people Nggrs because racist people will use it eventually so we might as well use it.".

So you're trying to remove the stigma of using that word and in competition with them to see who repopularizes it first? And she never used it. What the hell is the matter with you? If you cant edit the title of your post then remove it.

Your analogy with race isn't a good one. The same thing isn't happening with black people; nobody is pretending to be black and casually throwing around the n word like it's theirs to reclaim in the first place.

Without wanting to put words in /u/Chunkeeguy's mouth, the use of the word 'faggot' here is clearly ironic, since the woman in the tweets is very much the type of FTM who feels qualified to comment on 'cis gays' as if they're a homogeneous entity.

What the hell is the matter with you?

That cuts both ways. If you're going to refer to an offensive word in a discussion, either refer to it in full, or not at all. Taking out the letter "i" from it doesn't make it less obvious which word it it.

The title is obviously used in reference to the numerous previous posts we've seen from heterosexual women who identify as men referring to themselves as "faggots" because it appears to be part of a fetishization aspect to them.

I'd also note you only appear to have 4 comments posted ever, and yet you're already full on language policing.

I think it's our buddy exponent2/grammaroo/orangina5 in his 45th alt by this point. Just ignore him.

And what you dont understand is assigning a stigma to a word meant to dehumanize gay men. Your rationalization is beyond stupid and literally makes no sense. "just say the full word! say it!!!" why? Who's oppressing you? Other gays? You're now going to recite an orwellian nightmare future if we stigmatize the humanization of gays? Why not end this dystopian nightmare of "policing" language by running around using "the N word" every 3 seconds?

You seem like the kind of gay stooge who just smiles and thinks you've made some sort of power move if you smile when some homophobe spits in your face. You can censor a word to show respect to the people you're referring to. We're not here to recite right wing talking points.

I'm sorry I'm not sufficiently infantile and unwilling to stoop to your level to pretend the word "faggot" doesn't exist as a word. And yes, I've been called that before as an insult. No, that doesn't mean I automatically have a freakout or feel the need to be sheltered from the word itself when discussing the word.

Your rationalization is beyond stupid and literally makes no sense.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Uh huh, anyways I've heard rap music that uses the word far more than merely once every 3 seconds.
