I don't view it as a deliberate slur, but I think it was a rather unimaginative addendum that fell well below the standard of a Pratchett footnote.

I don't think any of these old white cishet men do it deliberatly, that doesn't make it any less of a slur.

I'm sure this guy things he's so progressive and feminist because he does not regularly beat his wife, but that does not make this shit any more acceptable

NAYRT

Admitting that it was a mistake, my question would still be what the attitude should be towards that mistake, and whether... I don't know how yo characterize your attitude here - unrelenting scorn? excommunication? but whether that's the best response.

You sound so close-minded you must be a troll.

Here's your comment.

Yes, "small girls like pink" is totally the equivalent of "tranny" or the n-word.

smh

I does come from the same mental place, though

(Anonymous) 2015-05-01 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
no. just no

(Anonymous) 2015-05-02 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
It really doesn't.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-02 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
No, it doesn't. One comes from a gender-based assumption backed by a lifetime of social programming. The other two come from outright hate.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-02 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
The t slur 99% of the time also comes from a place of assumptions based on social programming. It's just that these assumptions are a lot more damaging, because they boil down to "these people aren't really human". Let's not kid ourselves that the majority of the world's population doesn't feel that way about us.

Ignoring the troll below because life's too short but even if Pratchett had said seriously that all girls like pink, which he didn't, that is not a slur. Saying so trivialises the word.
