(Anonymous) 2025-01-28 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)I'm willing to bet money that 95% of this community has, as kids or teenagers, likely before knowing any better:
- called something "gay" as an insult
- called something "retarded" or "special" as an insult
- called something "autistic" as an insult or used the word sperg as a verb
- called something or someone a "spaz" or "spastic"
- called someone a "pussy" or "bitch" to indicate cowardice or otherwise called something "girly" as an insult
- asked insultingly if someone who is obviously neither blind nor deaf, is blind or deaf
Tons of people, especially kids, can be bigots without realizing they are bigots.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-28 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)The key word there is KIDS. I was talking about teenagers/early 20s, because that's the age range mentioned in the secret.
I have zero issue believing that kids (like middle schoolers or younger) use words that they overhear from adults or teenagers that they don't know are wrong, and I don't blame them for that.
My point was that TEENAGERS are old enough to know right from wrong.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-28 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)I don't think anyone here is talking about people over 20, and none of those were mentioned in the secret.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-28 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)But up to 20 no one is expected to know right from wrong? Really?

(Anonymous) 2025-01-28 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)That's the majority of teenagers.
Not the ones I was friends with. Not to say I didn't know teenagers who said those things, but I didn't hang out with them because even back then I knew that behavior wasn't acceptable.
