Okay, because as I was trying to show not everyone considers them so in every context, if the context is one of reclaiming and positive then that might be a context where they aren't considered slurs.
ok i tihnk i understand. i had a different definition of slur but i looked up a few definitions and it seems like yours is closer to the common one at least. ofc it's not my place to tell people what words to say/not say (nor would i want it to be) but it was interesting to me that i've only seen this on tumblr. do you know if this is a tumblr thing or on other social media also?
There are a lot of queer and trans folk on Tumblr. It's like the SM for queer and trans people these days. And it's awesome.
makes sense. i think it skews younger than me (27), but I (like i imagine a lot of people on lemmy :)) prefer fediverse platforms so most of my social media is lemmy/mastodon. I tried tumblr once a few years ago but had trouble finding content to follow (but now i'm having the same problem on mastodon so maybe i'm just bad at social media haha) thanks for listening to my adhd rambling
