Re: 27: A theory on all the recent yaoi posts

[farasha.livejournal.com]

Very good point. I had and still have a problem with the word "faggot" - I have a dislike toward it bordering on loathing, and no other word in the English language has the ability to make me as uncomfortable. When I think about it, it seems quite ridiculous - it is only a word, after all. But even when gay people use it, I can't stand it. You would never hear it coming out of my mouth and I get uncomfortable when it is said.

I have also caught myself saying, and have been ashamed of saying, "That's gay" with connotations of stupidity. Just because my best friend uses it all the time, and he happens to be gay, doesn't mean it's alright.

You make a very good point about the elasticity of language, and how difficult it is to reclaim a word after it has been turned toward something negative - and inversely, how incredibly easy it is to make that same word negative in the first place.
