But something is very obviously wrong here, given that your RMB literally devolved into outright defending the use of anti-gay slurs over the past few hours.
I’ve never seen anyone in the LCN use a slur against another person without their consent who wasn’t promptly moderated for it. The use a word to refer to a specific person (vs an entire group for example) who has no issue with the word and usually isn’t even apart of the group that the word can be used to refer shouldn’t be offensive to anyone. If you’re offended by the use of a mere word that isn’t even being used in a derogatory manner and in which both people consent, I’m not sure what to tell you. Obviously there are some words that the LCN forbids regardless of context, and rightfully so too (For example: the n word)
Nobody is defending the use of “slurs” - By definition, the word would have to be applied in a manner in that it’s referring to a group of people for it to be a slur (a derogatory or insulting term applied to particular group of people). That has yet to have happened in the LCN without moderation swiftly taking action against it.
If you take offense to the use of a word that’s being used to describe another individual in a jokingly manner (who is fine with the joke), then I’m not sure what to tell you.
