#uncensored slurs

[vaspider]

Pete Buttigieg is just a faggot.

It's very important to me that younger queers understand this: to the people who you're trying to be more respectable for when you say things like neopronouns set the trans movement back or you're why the cishets don't accept us or including [aces/bi people with the 'wrong kind' of partners/non-binary people/kinksters/non-passing trans ppl/furries/polyam people] just hurts us, can't you wait until we get all our rights before we talk about some of yours? -- to those people? Pete Buttigieg is just a fag.

On Sunday at Pride Northwest, some kids -- late teens, early 20s -- asked what our button I survived Reagan for this? meant. All of the queer adults at the tables making up our ad hoc counter looked at each other and sighed a little. Emet and another adult started to explain the way that the Reagan Administration handled -- or didn't handle -- the beginning of the AIDS crisis. How many people died. How much we were ignored. The Ashes Action. The Time Magazine article which explicitly blamed bisexual men for passing the pandemic to the cishet community, playing on all the worst stereotypical bullshit. The way that even when the CDC started paying attention, they were so focused on gay men that they ignored AIDS in the lesbian community, leading to the "women don't get AIDS, they just die from it" poster. And so on.

I finished counting out change and passed the last Bear Pride raised fist pin over to a bear a little older than me, then turned my head and interjected, "they didn't care until it started infecting more than just the fags." I turned my head back and handed him his change. He laughed bitterly and said, "remember when they called it 'gay cancer?'"

That what I need you to understand. The people for whom you are folding yourself into smaller and smaller boxes will never see you as anything but a freak. A queer. A dyke. A tranny. A fag.

Never.

These are people who will stand by and let you wither away and die alone, gasping for breath in a cinderblock room, and not even claim your ashes, and they will say you deserve it, because of your lifestyle. If they speak of you at all it will be by the wrong name, with the pictures you hate the most. They will curse at your lover, throw him out of the home you shared, and steal the gift you gave last Christmas to throw it in the trash just so he can't have it and they'll say Jesus loves you! while they do it. They'll feel good and righteous and blessed and holy and pure for doing it.

And for them, you spit in the eye of your sister. For them, you disavow your sibling. For their sake, you trim away bits of your heart and lace yourself up tight. Never too loud. Never too queer. Never inconvenient or embarrassing, never asking for too much.

Pete Buttigieg is what happens when your Boomer dad turns out gay. Middle America. Parents still married. Suburban-sprouted. Valedictorian. Harvard-educated. Rhodes Scholarship. Military service. More power to him: I hope he and Chasten are very happy together. Genuinely, I do.

You couldn't create a more respectable gay if you grew one in a lab run by concerned voter focus groups.

But Pete Buttigieg? Is just a fag.

That's the part you don't seem to get: when they abandoned us, they abandoned all of us. Rock Hudson was a beloved movie star and even personally friendly with that horrid pair of ambitious jackals. Nancy Reagan refused to help him get into the only place in the world that could treat him at the time, and he died.

It was 1985, 4 years after the CDC first released papers on what would eventually become known as HIV/AIDS and 7 years after the first known death from an infection from HIV-2. Reagan hadn't even said the word AIDS by the time Hudson died.

Pete Buttigieg is just a fag, and so am I. Unless I'm a dyke, which seems to depend on who's yelling what from which window and what day it is.

Yes, there will be people who genuinely love and accept you. Those people are worth all the frustration of the rest, thankfully, and they're the ones who love you in a pup mask or a leather harness and a neon jock like the ones sold by the men up the row from us last weekend. They're the ones who laugh out loud when you tell them you hid the word "dyke" in your company name, the ones who love you in all your messiness and uncertainty and the way you don't fit into neat boxes all scrubbed up and clean.

Most cishets, though... well, they don't actively mean you specifically any harm, at least not when they have to look at you. Not when you're right there in front of them. Maybe they'll be okay with you, personally, especially if you're the kind of gay who makes a good rhetorical device, and as long as you remain a good rhetorical device.

They need people to know that they don't have a problem with the gays, after all, and there you are, being all convenient. You make a nice token, and as long as you do, well. You're useful.

But they call you by your deadname when you're not around, and they put the wrong pronouns in your medical record even though they met you years after you came out, and they won't put themselves out to save you. Not one little bit.

I didn't want to be here again. The year I graduated from high school was the worst year of the AIDS crisis. The world into which I became an adult was a world in which an advisor and friend to Reagan, William F. Buckley, openly advocated for forcibly tattooing the HIV status of HIV+ gay men on their buttocks (and IV drug users on their forearms), and in which my father not only told me that when I was 14 or so, but when was told me that he'd advocated for that tattoo being "over their assholes."

(Buckley wrote that in '86, but he doubled down on it in 2005.

Fucker.)

But yeah. I didn't want to be here again. I wanted my daughter to inherit a better world. I wanted Obergefell and Lawrence v. Texas and Hope & Change to really mean something. I work for it, today and all days. I haven't given up.

I need you to know that, too. This isn't a white flag. I'm not surrendering. This isn't over. To misquote Henry Rollins, this is what Marsha and Sylvia and Stormé and Leslie and Brenda and Auntie Sugar trained us for. This is punk rock time.

But I need you to understand that if Pete Buttigieg is just a fag, if that human embodiment of a Wonder Bread, mayo and Oscar Meyer bologna sandwich is not respectable enough for them -- and he's not -- then the rest of us have absolutely no hope of measuring up. Not even if we trim away every colorful, beautiful piece of our community, not even if the Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence vanish into the ether, not even if we sacrifice the five elements of vogue on the altar of white supremacist cishet middle-class conformity: we can't trim ourselves down to something they'll accept.

The only other option is radical acceptance of our queer selves. The only other option is solidarity. The only other option is for fats and femme queens and drags and kinksters and queers and zine writers and sex workers and furries and addicts and kids and the ones who can look us in the eye and see all of us to say we're here, we're queer, get used to it just the way we did 30 years ago. It's revolutionary, complete and total acceptance of our entire community, not just the ones the cishets can pretend to be comfortable with as long as we don't challenge them too much, or it's conceding the shoreline inch by inch to the rising waters of fascism until we've got nowhere left to stand and some of us start drowning.

That's it. Either it's all of us or it's none of us, because if we leave the answer up to the Reagans of the world and all the people who enabled him in the name of lower taxes and Democrats who wring their hands, weeping oh I don't agree with it but we'll lose the election if we fight it right now, the answer is none of us.

The brunch gays can come, too, I guess.

The urge to cut off like 99% of my friends is constantly growing.

1) They keep calling me slurs(I'm literally OK with being called a faggot and tranny by the ones who also fall under those slurs, but somehow not wanting to be called a cripple, by able-bodied people no less, is somehow toxic???)

2) They make fun of me for having to have my phone on 'light mode' even though I've explained a billion times I literally CAN NOT SEE THE TEXT OR PICTURES OTHERWISE

3) They constantly mix up my lazy eye and strabismus and say it makes me look like a token idiot from movies(I wonder fucking why?! Could the answer maybe, possibly, be ableism in the film industry?!)

4) They take my cane without asking which I don't really mind when I'm sitting down but they'll literally take it while I'm standing and leaning against it, knowing I'm a severe fall risk and that falling is extremely dangerous for me, which they also make fun of

5) They treat me like I'm being ridiculous because I'm upset that after 13 years of modern, contemporary, and classical ballet and 2 of tap and hip hop I can no longer dance at all(not even with my arms as they tire easily or my head cause moving it too much triggers tic attacks)

6) They refuse to slow down for me when walking to class, even on staircases, but also get mad when I don't walk with them(not to mention walking alone is dangerous for me for multiple reasons)

7) They treat my absence seizures as if they're not serious because they don't involve shaking on the ground and said it's basically just dissociation(which they also get mad at me for doing)

8) They call me dramatic for having trauma responses to things like cars back firing and plastic water bottles popping even though they know I have untreated PTSD from my house being shot up by my neighbor when I was 11

9) One of them gets angry at me if I'm upset about being called a slur because "they're just telling the truth"

10) I told them that I want to go by Nora-Zachary and They/Them this year instead of my old 'preferred name'(it was never my preferred name I just had to pick the first name that came to my head the first day freshman year so I wouldn't be called my deadname) and He/They, but only one has complied on pronouns and no one has on my name

11) They laugh and call it 'cute' on days where my rhotacism, struggle to verbalize, and/or accent(both regional and autism accent)are more prominent

12) A couple have said I don't have a lisp, which is true, but what they actually meant is that I don't have a speech impediment(literally why do able-bodied people think only lisps and stutters exist, I'm pretty sure rhotacism is one the most common articulation impairments along with lisps and lambdacism, yet not even my parents know what it's called)

And like a billion other things too. Being around them is quite literally making me more suicidal. But IDK. Do I just need to suck it up? Is this as good as it gets? Before literally a year ago I only had 3 friends, and before 2 years ago I had 0, so I don't know what's acceptable.

First you couldn't say faggot even if you're attracted to the same sex.

Then you couldn't say mad even if you're mentally ill.

Now you can't even say wendigo even if you partake in human flesh.

My first participation in an ongoing Whumptober, and especially in art! (It's still the 13th where I live, is it where you guys are, too?)

Usually I just upload fics where I used prompts from the past years. I kinda rushed this, and I'm not very good at drawing things without references, so don't come for me, please 🙈 I only just started with digital art, I usually draw on paper...

Anyways, since I can't help myself, there's also a short snippet I wrote, just to ... set the mood, explain the context of this pic, idk, it got a little out of hand ... enjoy!

TW: homophobia/slurs, depictions of violence, "slight" SA (unwanted touching)

"Where is Nick? We've been waiting for ages!", Tao whined. To be fair, they had already been waiting for 20 minutes at this point.

"How long does it take for him to use the loo? It wasn't that far away!"

Charlie checked his phone. "I don't know ... he didn't send a message either. Maybe he just ran into someone he knows?"

It was the first pride event all of them visited, together. Well, all of them is wrong, Sahar and Imogen spent the day ... somewhere else? They didn't say, but they wanted to try to show up to the party in the evening. By now it was almost 9 pm though and the others weren't sure if they were really going to show. The teens had to leave the club at 12 am, being minors and all, so they needed to make do with what time they had.

Tara and Darcy went on a little roadtrip together, so they couldn't be there either.

"Maybe you should call him", Elle suggested, while fixing her dress in a shop window. Isaac looked up from the book he was reading. "Maybe you guys should chill. We still have time. The party is not gonna start for another 10 minutes and the club is just down the street."

Charlie hesitated, but then grabbed his phone again. Truth be told, he was getting a little worried. "I think I'll call him."

Nick passed the dark shop windows on his way back to his friends. The bi-flag he wore around his neck softly billowed in the wind as a small group of older - and drunk - men bumped into him. "Oh, sorry", Nick said, event though he felt that they could have watched where they were going, too.

Swaying, one of the young men, turned to him. "Watch your step, faggot ..."

Normally, Nick thought he was pretty resilient to people trying to bully him, but here, right now, he felt a little alone and vulnerable. "I don't want any trouble ...", he mumbled, taking a step back.

The older guys started to surround him. "Oh, really? Well, maybe we do."

Nick was always fairly sure he was able to hold his own in a fight, if it came to it; not that he particularly liked fighting ... But he was outnumbered, by far.

The dark-haired man who insulted him grabbed him by the collar and pushed him into a nearby alleyway. Most of the others blocked the way out, snickering quietly.

"My friends are waiting for me, please", Nick practially begged, but the stranger didn't even grace him with an answer. He immediatly threw a punch, hitting him squarely in the face.

"Ugh..." Nick's head snapped back, he felt blood gushing out of his nose as he toppled over. This pain was nothing compared to the kicks that rained down on him afterwards though, hitting him in his chest as some of the other men joined their friend. One particularly nasty kick got him in his face. The pain that exploded behind his forehead and his eye blinded Nick for a second.

At some point he felt his flag being ripped off his back. The stranger knelt down next to the teenager and pushed the opened button up shirt aside. Nick started throwing weak punches in the general direction of the man. "... No ..."

He simply evaded them. "Oh, not so fond of men touching you now, are you?", he sneered, when suddenly, Nick's phone started buzzing. The dark-haired stranger pulled the phone out of his pocket and laughed at the screen, which was lit up with a picture of Nick and Charlie. "Look, it's that fag's boyfriend! Should we answer?"

"No!", Nick screamed, at least he tried to. It came out more of a whisper, thanks to his hurting ribs.

The older man threw the phone at the wall across from them, where it went dark upon impact.

A little voice in the back of Nicks mind told him his mum would be mad about that later, but realistically, she would probably not be mad at him.

"We should get going", one of the other men suddenly said. The main attacker checked his watch. "You're right. What should we do with you, though? Can't leave you running around telling people about this, now can we?"

Nick didn't like where this was going. At all.

From the back of his pants, the stranger procured a flip knife. The blade was illuminated menacingly by the streetlights from outside the alley.

"Best of luck to you, fag."

With that, he thrust the blade deep into Nick's upper stomach.

A load groan ripped itself from the ginger's throat as the blade swiftly cut into his flesh and, just as easily, glided right back out. Blood welled up from the wound and started running down his body in warm rivulets, staining his white cotton shirt and blue jeans a dark crimson color.

The stranger quickly stood back up and, together with his mates, left Nick to bleed out, all by himself.

Heavy breathing filled the alleyway as the teen just stayed on the ground, one hand pressed to his bleeding side. I can't stay here ... I need to get help...

Very slowly Nick got up off the ground, leaning on the cold walls for support. Broken phone and dirty flag forgotten, he made his way out of the alleyway, onto the empty street. Of course, just his luck, that there's not a single soul wandering around this evening.

Sighing softly, the teenager began the agonizing trip back to his friends.

"He's not picking up", Charlie told the others, his worry growing by the minute. Something had to be wrong. What if he was lost, what if he was sick or hurt or -

"I'm sure everything is fine", Elle answered, grounding her friend with a touch of her hand on his shoulder and silencing this never-ending spiral of doom in his head. She's probably right. What could have possibly happend...?

The friends were waiting for a few more minutes, and definitely late to the party by now, when suddenly, Nick emerged from the shadows, right around the corner.

Charlies inital relief was short-lived though, when he saw the state his boyfriend was in. Blood was staining his clothes, his skin ...

Their friends seemed to be in similar states of shock.

Still leaning on the nearest wall for support, Nick's blurry vision caught sight of his friends, presumably waiting for him. The dizziness made it difficult to even stay upright at this point. His shaky legs had trouble holding him up.

"Charlie ...", he whispered.

Faster than the curly-haired boy thought possible, he started running. "Nick?"

The older boy started swaying, eyelids drooping. "I don't feel so good ..." His knees buckled and the last thing he heard was Charlie, screaming his name: "NICK!"

Slurs don't offend me

If you call me a slur, I don't care.

I got called a faggot college. Turned around and said I was.

The thing with slurs is that they say jack shit about the person being called the slur but everything about the person using it.

If I call myself or my girlfriend or my besties faggot or tranny it will always be in the context of jokes we are all in on, self deprecating humour or clapping back at twats like the ones mentioned.

Someone else calls me faggot or tranny, well that tell me everything I need to know, doesn't it?

#shitpost #lgbtq #trans #queer #uncensored slurs #queer slurs #slurs have no power over me #i reject this mortal flesh

[quadrantmlm]

heres the thing.

when we came out, 2016, and were met by an unaccepting voice, it didnt call us a faggot or queer or a tranny. yknow what we were called as a way to disavow our transness in 2016? flat, to our face, we were called a “transtrender”, by a 40 yr old woman who doesnt even use social media.

this online discourse, “transmed”, etc., has taken tiny in-community discourse that is gross and unecessary and fed it straight into the hands of the fuckin enemy. it has armed bigots w new power, the ability to imput themselves into the discussion of what qualifies a person as trans and how little they can allow it. it gives them a way to gaslight and convert trans youth by pretending they know transness, pretending they can stand up for the gold star gender experience, bc of these hyper discoursed points made up by kids who think theyre standing up for trans rights by taking trans rights away from ppl and giving them to the ppl who want us gone.

now i dont care what u think ab dysphoria and/or its effect on transness. but i think that before u allign urself w invalidating terms meant to degrade, exclude, and punish ppl for self discovery and self expression, know that u are being transphobic, both directly in ur own action and in how u allow that to become commonplace. u are bringing ab a new generation of slurs and suppression tactics to be used by communities to convince the ppl coming out as trans that they r wrong.

this isnt to say that weve replaced the days of queer and faggot and tranny as being slurs and harmful or anything like that. im not overwriting history and experience. i am not demeaning the affect those terms have had on us, and how other forms of bigotry like violence and discrimination especially in intersectional queer experiences r, and if u treat me like thats what im doing u r missing the entire fuckin point.

im just fuckin pissed.

#transgender #lgbtq+ #uncensored slurs #discourse #transtrender #izzyisms #adding here. love all my nondysphoric trans friends #love all my nontransitioning trans friends #love every single trans person no matter what experience #im sry u have to put w this shit #pls let me know how i can help or if anything in this post or anything else is demeaning #i cant claim to not be a part of the problem but i can offer to work to make myself aim towards a solution #thank u

I know you’re having fun with identities that are considered slightly offensive by liberals, thinking that they’re too “unmarketable” for companies to put on a target t shirt, and I’m not going to try to stop anyone, in fact I’m also having fun with the faggot jokes. But “trans” was NOT marketable fifteen years ago. Not even “lesbian”. We take it for granted that they will never try to sell the word “faggot” back to you, but, I’m beginning to believe we are about 8 years away from a good luck charlie reboot where teddy’s tween gen alpha kid Breighneley has a gender neutral friend that spends a whole special episode explaining how they identify as a transvestite or “tranny” for a short cute nickname, and nobody learns anything, and transphobes take it as an opportunity to begin using it pejoratively until it’s a slur again. And so the chicken lays the egg and the egg hatches as a chicken etc

Sometimes when I’m scrolling thru the mcyt tag I find a post that goes on a deep dive about a characters lore and really goes into the tragic and depressing nature of them

I read the post completely floored by the amount of dept and nuance and tragedy that this block person has but I’m also impressed by the fucking academic report that this user wrote for this character

I finish the post rethinking everything I thought about the world and storytelling

I look at who this poster, the person that forever changed my life is

Their name is trannyscar

Their pfp is scars Minecraft skin covered in heart emojis

I go to see their blog

Their banner is a photo of some random mcyt streamer whit the world faggot written in pink over them

Their pin post says “Mumbo is a dyke”

The world is healing

#thsi has happen so many times #just seeing post and looking at the poster and their name is dykewilbur or something like that #btw I’m not complaining I fucking love it when this happens #idk if this happens in other fandoms but the mcyt fandom are at the front line of the reclaiming slurs people #I love it #mcyt #mcytblr #mcyt tag #uncensored slurs

I honestly have to wonder if the gay assimilationists understand what it's like on the other side. I was raised by Republican Baptists in Texas, homeschooled, heavily involved in youth group, and I was so devastatingly lonely because I could feel in my bones that I didn't fit in, that people liked me on a superficial level but kept me at arm's length because something was wrong with me, because I wasn't good enough, I wasn't like them.

It was only when I found words to describe myself in the queer (and autistic) community that I truly realized for the first time that nothing is wrong with me, that I can be accepted and loved the way I am and I don't have to force myself into a different shape to be good enough. I'd rather die than try to make myself "normal" again.

Like I'm just saying that as someone who grew up brainwashed in right wing ideology, I can't help but think the assimilationists must have no clue what a gift it is to be accepted in your abnormality. What it's like to have normalcy shoved down your throat for years, then finally spit it out and finally be fucking free.

Having broken free, I can't imagine ever trying to force someone else into that cage. I want to smash all the cages, not build new gay-shaped cages.

It's possible, but it's also possible that they come from a background like yours and they're naïve, hopeful, or afraid. Naïve enough to think their families will ever really accept them, hopeful enough to think they really can make a change (and good for them for the hopefulness, truly), or afraid and convinced that they can find safety in conformity.

And look - like - I need to be clear that when I say I'm anti-assimilationist, I don't mean that I think it's morally wrong for queer people to want to live in a nice little house with their spouse and send their kids to a good school and live a tidy, quiet, unbothered life. I think that's a fine and wonderful thing to want, and I think it has to be a fine and wonderful thing to want. I think it's possible to live that life and be in solidarity with other queers. I also think that being gay or trans doesn't mean you owe a movement anything. You don't have to live any particular kind of life, or do any particular thing, to be the right kind of queer.

Really, the only way in my mind to be the wrong kind of gay/queer/trans is to tell someone they're the wrong kind of gay/queer/trans, or to throw other queers under the bus for your own benefit.

So when I talk about assimilationism as a philosophy, and why I think it truly fucks us, I'm not talking about "living in the suburbs" or a certain amount of necessary visibility or radicalism. It's okay to live stealth or to want that quiet life. What's not okay is "you better behave or the cis won't respect us," which is, of course, bullshit, since what's not respectable about us is our queerness.

I watched Halston last night with Emet, and one of the things that really struck me was a scene of a fight between Halston and Elsa Peretti, one of his closest friends and models. They got into a fight at Studio 54, and Halston was being unbelievably cruel to her, and she to him. It was the sort of fight that you can only have with someone who knows you very well when you're both at your very worst.

What did she reach for when she was angry with him and hurt? What was the word she immediately reached for to summarize her disdain for him and his worthlessness, how much she despised him and felt him to be garbage? I'm sure you know.

That scene felt like... so... like I just want to shake people and show them it. Don't you understand? The problem with saying "but I'm one of the good faggots" is to them, you're still just a faggot, and they won't let you forget it when the chips are down. Who cares if you're a good faggot or a bad faggot? The reason you deserve civil rights and a life lived in peace is because you're human, not because you've managed to be a good enough and worthy enough person to earn off your faggotry. You can't escape them thinking that about you. You might as well own it and demand your rights anyway, because you're a person.

I think that part of the reason that people saying slurs they can’t reclaim (e.g cishet white people saying Fag, Tranny or The N Word) isn’t considered ‘okay’ is because of the way these words are normally used.

The reason I’m not okay with cis people saying tranny is because most of the time when that word is used by people outside of the transgender community, it’s used in a derogatory way. We don’t like you using that word because of the way people use it.

Queer, which used to be considered a slur, is no longer considered one by most people because it is often used with positive connotations whereas around 50 years ago if someone called you ‘Queer’ it was an insult.

Maybe in the future these words won’t be slurs anymore, but as of 2023 if you use the term Fag or Tranny or the N word if you aren’t part of these communities, you are willingly using these terms even though you know the negative meaning and effect that they can have, and you are enabling that intolerant behaviour.

Furthermore, the use of slurs by people who are a part of that community are okay because these people know what this word can do and what it means; but they’re trying to change the meaning, and until they’ve done that, they should be the only ones able to say that word.

Feel free to expand on this, i want to hear everyone’s opinions. :)

CW for uncensored references to ableist and transphobic slurs

"Haha look at the stupid braindead disabled people that think stupid and crazy and paranoid and idiot are slurs" really isn't the take you think it is.

"Hahaha, I, a person largely privileged and unaffected by slurs referring specifically to lack of sanity or intelligence and/or presence of paranoia - or someone who has internalizes ableism about these things, think you're insane and unintelligent and hysterical for thinking insults based around an inherently disabling part of your identity are fine, actually."

That's what you're saying.

Call yourself crazy, stupid, paranoid, whatever. I truly don't even care that much if you're using it for a form of neurodivergence less typically directly affected by sanism.

But my gods, you are so cruel and ignorant. It doesn't actually MATTER what you think is a slur, when other people more affected than you and more aware of how it affects given groups say it is.

Y'all sound like the trans people insisting that "cuntboy" and "zippertits" aren't slurs. Whether you've never been called that because of your agab, or you have and you're simply an assimilationist who doesn't care about other less privileged people in your subset of the community, it doesn't matter. You don't get to decide for everyone that a derogatory word based on innate identity isn't a slur.

One of the most basic ways ableism functions is by framing disabled people as "overreacting" and "hysterical" about our own oppression. You contributing to and perpetuating that does not make you the "detached rational intellectual" that you seem to think you are.

Consider why you consider intelligence to be good and lack of intelligence to be bad, when you can no more change your level of intelligence than the amount of functionality of limbs you have. You either have the capacity to learn, process, or retain information well, or you don't. Consider that a significant deviation from the average, is as much a disability as a significant deviation in limb functionality or number.

Consider when you say "oh, haha I do have paranoid schizophrenia/PPD/etc but I don't find the word paranoid to be a slur" that you've either been lucky not to have had it used against you violently and directly as such, or have written off the violence you have faced as justified due to your own internalized ableism.

Consider that when you say "oh this is a bunch of terminally online discourse, these people have no idea what real oppression is like" that language shapes and is shaped by very real oppression. That's why the conversation is not "don't ever use these words" but "consider what your meaning and purpose is when you do".

(I've even seen people who are against some slurs that affect people with cluster B disorders say this shit. How you can recognize "narcissist" and "sociopath/psychopath" as slurs and not "stupid/crazy/insane/paranoid/hysterical", I'll never understand.)

The conflation of unintelligence and insanity with immorality and even dangerousness, the dehumanization of people with intellectual disabilities and mad people, the connotations of disdain and disgust attached to words like "stupid" - these are all used to further maintain and justify the subjugation of disabled people.

After all, if you can convince people that we are lesser; that we need it for our own protection and the protection of good, sane, intelligent people; that we deserve it; all by making our very identities into an insult, why wouldn't people who benefit from oppressive systems do so?

You've won the battle on public opinion before it's even begun.

But even beyond that, maybe actually think about the damage it does to have your innate and marginalized identity treated as an inherently bad thing. Some of the people I've seen saying this shit should absolutely know better, because I KNOW they have diagnoses that are treated as such. Think about how, if your very existence was always treated as somewhere between a laughingstock and a plague, something that made you annoying at best and dangerous and/or incapable of making your own decisions at worst, how you'd feel.

Think about how you feel about people you think are "stupid" or "crazy" and imagine or remember how it feels when people treat YOU that way because of your disabilities.

More importantly, if that thought exercise doesn't help, stop it. Stop pulling the ladder up behind you. Stop throwing the most vulnerable people under the bus. Stop using intelligence and sanity as measures of worth and likeability. Stop using words based in other people's identities, or even your own, as insults.

Reclaim all you want. I'm firmly against any policing of reclamation.

But consider that reclaiming means treating a word/identity as neutral, empowering, or positive. And consider that reclamation only applies to the labels you use for yourself.

T…THANKS ???

more thoughts under the cut (cw: uncensored homophobic slurs)

OK SO MY FIRST REACTION WAS alright this commentor’s probably fresh to fandom / autistic (as an autistic person myself, who has said foot-in-mouth shit like this before and still do ALL THE TIME) so I was like alright… they might just need someone to explain why it’s pretty fucking rude to insinuate that their wlw fic is inferior in any way to a het one, even if you’re praising their writing

BUT

I also know that my fic has been discussed on the 4chan Rogue Trader threads on /v/ and they all take the same stance that my writing quality is really good, but they really wish it (quote) “wasn’t dyke shit” (and then had an argument about how disliking yuri was actually a sign you’re gay)

SO LIKE…

#like you get me right. #this guy might just be unaware #OR it might be the homophobes containment breaching #i hope they get the fuck away from my fic <3 #i do enjoy the feeling of writing so well homophobes can’t resist but read though #antelposting #cw: slurs #cw: homophobia #cw: uncensored slurs
