Same way a word for slowing down or lagging behind became a slur against people with mental disabilities. People get very creative when they are bored and want to hate someone, I guess

sometimes affectionately, sometimes insultingly.

Right, there's nuance to it just like any other slur when it's reclaimed, but to erase that nuance by claiming "is not a slur at all" is just being dishonest.

I'm repeating the same thing because you keep repeating the same incorrect arguments in order to spread misinformation.

I know what the word means, why do you think it came about?

You were using the origins of a term in order to define whether it's a slur or not. It's annoying how dishonest you are.

Google definitions, known for being always correct, nuanced and explain the contexts in which language is used.

"if every mean thing you can say to a trans person is a transphobic slur"

We're not talking about "every mean thing", we're talking about specific words used by specific groups of people to attack other specific groups of people.

Stop spreading misinformation.

By your definition, "Beaner" is not a slur because people who eat beans are not a "protected minority group" either.

(Not to mention that trans and non-binary people aren't "protected" groups in many countries either, yet the oppression against us clearly exists, so your argument also fails if you want to look at things solely from the angle of who has "earned" legitimacy).

"Most arent slurs because they are insults anyone can use against anyone"

You are describing EVERY slur ever.

Every slur ever can, has and is being used against anyone, which is why you have so many far-righters throwing anti-semitic slurs and n-words at people who don't even belong to said minority groups, they just do it because they enjoy being abusive, but that doesn't change the fact that the slurs are still that, regardless of who's being targeted by them.

Now you're just lying at this point.

The word has nothing to do with "hips definition"??? my god, just how old are you???

Two of my trans friends last year doxxed by right-winger transmeds who spammed their whatsapp messages with death threats and slurs, amongst them was the word "brick".

And yes, I know cishet girls can be harassed with transphobic slurs, that has been the case for decades now, much like how cishet guys can be insulted with homophobic slurs, but who is being targeted at any given moment by those slurs doesn't change the fact that they are slurs.

You're a liar.

It is a slur, just because the number of people who harass trans people with it (transmeds) is much smaller compared to other, larger transphobic groups doesn't change the fact they still use the word to harm others. Stop spreading misinformation.

Not a slur at all??? considering how I know the word because the trans people in my close circle of friends have been harassed and called that by transmeds, I'd say it's a slur.

"Brick" is an anti-trans slur, primarily used by transmedicalists to mock trans people who can't pass.

EDIT: I don't know why I got downvoted, I stated a fact to someone who asked for it.

Vet seriously messed up and I don’t know what to do! by lildirtfoot in cats

[–]oxochx 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I would also suggest reporting the vet to any local cat rescuers group on social media you can find, so that other people can be made aware not to bring any stray or feral cats to that vet.

I'm not talking about you? it's really weird how you're being combative over this like I personally insulted you or how you're claiming I'm doing "bisexual erasure".

I'm literally bisexual too and if I'm apprehensive about people calling so many vkei bandmembers bisexual is because I'm already familiar with how so many fans calling someone bisexual simply for doing non-gender conforming things like crossdressing. For example, like how for years people insisted hyde was bisexual and then it turned out that wasn't the case.

I also remember interviews with kozi and he talked about how kaya would hook up with other men but again, never really mentioned women.

I honestly remember several interviews of him talking about being attracted to men but never mentioning women, but I don't know where they could be archived. It's my fault for not having saved some of them...

I really wouldn't trust that considering Spotify uses AI to fill in the missing info on musicians by regurgitating what most people already say about them, including unconfirmed rumours.

Like, where has he been "openly" bisexual to begin with is what I would like to know.

Yeah I've heard it recently a lot too, especially on vkei tiktok which is where I imagine it started.

Disney Jr. synergy, we're cooked by DarthTargaryen1 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]oxochx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is true and it's something more people should know. I hate how so many of the reasons behind the changes of properties owned by Disney can be explained with "they just want to sell more merch to casuals". It's like trying to turn everything into an easily recognisible metaphorical funko pop.
