Why do i even bother pointing out anything I notice if people are just gonna act like none of the rules they taught me to live by even matter? "Dont call people names" becomes "if I dont call someone a slur in the next 10 seconds I'll explode". "Share with others" becomes "socialism is evil". I...

Mines split at least three ways between my adhdemon, my autism fairy, and my anxiety creature. I offer advice, try to mediate, but negotiations can be rough.

@georgelee5786 its okay to use it in a non-insulting way. Youre using the word properly in engineering, chemistry, music notation, etc. Its when its used to denigrate others that it becomes a slur and where I start to have an issue.

Like, why do you have to say the word so bad in ways that only are used as insults? Thats not reclaiming the word, thats just punching down.

I dont care if you think its a rite of passage or a right at all. you cannot “reclaim” the r slur. there’s no way to reclaim that nasty word because you literally can’t use it in a way that isn’t derogatory. i’m so tired of people saying this stupid shit like why is it hard for you to just not...

Its not that im "scared" of the word, its that I have literal ptsd/trauma symptoms from all the times that word was used to abuse or dehumanize me without my consent, used to deny me basic human accommodations, a word used to justify chaining autistic kids up to radiators in institutions in the...
