EXTREMELY SRS BSNS makes for epic teal dear
Yes, I'll admit right off the bat, I am one of those Privileged Few who maybe should not be able to talk about persecution because I am white. But look. I have been mocked for wearing glasses, mocked for liking to read and being quiet. No, not on the same level. I agree on that. I have also been called a faggot and a "fucking dyke," the latter not even for being one (though I am a lesbian), but because I cut my hair short like a boy's. (Don't know how that automatically makes me a "dyke," but okay. :|) I have been called a bitch, a cunt, and yes, a "fucking white-ass bitch" by a pissed off black girl, gasp and shock (and the first person to say THAT'S not racism simply because I'm white and she's black gets paunched over the Internets). She was just in a really bad mood and there were no hard feelings afterward, but the fact remains. I am an atheist, and am occasionally preached to about how my lifestyle and lack of belief in Zeus's less-fun, more-douchy imaginary brother will send me to hell and it will serve me right. I'm used to all of this, as much as anyone can be used to it.
No, I don't think words like faggot should be slung around as insults. But then, I don't think insults should be slung around like insults. I don't think anything should be slung around like insults, because that's REALLY INSULTING, duh. I think that as long as you get offended by a word being used in a manner not meant to be offensive, you're the only one giving it power- maybe you can't help it, because people do have trigger words sometimes, but you have to recognize that as a fact.
If a friend calls you a faggot and they're being silly or affectionate, it's not an insult. If some random other gay person calls you a faggot and they're being silly or affectionate, same. If either of those people calls you a faggot and is MEANING IT BADLY, that is when it is an insult.
If it is someone over the Internet, yes, it can be hard to tell. Especially with Anonymous, who seems to like stirring up wank. A good way to tell is to give them a poke- to say that you don't really feel comfortable with it, or ask if they know they're coming across as insulting. Odds are pretty good that they, just like any other person in real life, will retract it and/or not say it again if you simply give them a nudge that it's Not Okay to do to you. And if they laugh and keep it up, not caring about your feelings on the matter... well. No use getting mad about it, right? They're just assholes, and no use letting dumbasses over the ~Internet~ have any effect on your emotions or life.
It's the same thing in real life. I work at a job where it's common for me to get screamed at. And one thing I've learned is, you'll be called worse by better. Seriously. The people who have been saying it's "just a word" are only half-right... it is just a word, and words can be used in horrible ways, and words hurt. But if someone is ignorant enough to be using that word, if that's the worst thing they're doing to you?
They're not oppressing you. If they're keeping you from doing something, interfering with your life, putting you in physical danger, yes, my god, there is a problem. But I can listen to a man call me a bitch-ass faggot cunt all day long, and as long as he keeps it down to yelling, I'm not too moved. Not at all, actually. Because all he's doing is making himself look bad, and if he's that screwed up? I don't care about his opinion of me anyway.
... holy shit why is there a PART TWO? (this is of course addressing 149, lawlz)
Don't even hate them. Don't give them that sort of effect over you. Take the humor of it. They think they're being big and bad, they think their hate puffs them up, makes them superior to you. It doesn't. It just makes them burst a vessel hating, while you sit there and... have words go by. Words from someone whose opinion you should care less about, if they're that retarded (and yes, maybe I shouldn't use that word in that context, but I've been bending my vocab trying not to say it and I really can't think of a better word for it right now. So in it goes, and apologies to those offended). Don't hate them, or feel hurt; feel sorry for them if you can. Because it really makes sense: you have to put up with a few words from an asshole. They have to be an asshole. They have to be deluded enough to actually think they're superior. Even if they don't realize how bad it is... well. Would you want to be them? Didn't think so.
It might be hard, but in the end, try it: if you want to reclaim your pride and yourselves, don't worry about what a word means. If it's being tossed at you by someone unimportant who you wouldn't in a million years want to be, why would you want to be respected by them? They're the ones messed up in the head. Let them live much more obnoxious lives than yours, and go along with your day, and let it go.
TL;DR in the end why would you even care if the bitches stop the gd faggotry? They're the ones who're bitches, keep on being fags. ♥
