DA

There are also some slurs that lots of kids - especially if we're going as young as 15 - kinda-sorta knew the meaning of but not really. If you went back in time to ask a 15 year old in 1990 what a "dyke" is they'd likely not actually even know. "Um, a manly woman? Something like that?"

Lots of kids - and 15 year olds are kids - didn't have all the knowledge about terms that were being flung around and lots didn't have internet or knowledgeable communities with which to "just educate themselves" either. Now, it's easy to google a term and get the whole internets' input but it's easy to forget that plain wasn't possible for some people.

They're kids and don't know better when it come to racism/bigotry, but they're not kids and old enough to know better when being shit heads about ships and fictional characters.

Pick one, you cannot have it both ways.

Where's this dichotomy coming from? To me they're kids in both instances.

Okay, yeah, in that case, that makes sense. I was a teenager in the early-mid 2000s and it was very easy to educate yourself if you didn't already know from school being very inclusive and teaching you that everyone was equal and you shouldn't judge people on the color of their skin or their religion or whatever. Anyone my age and younger I will absolutely judge because we knew better, even as teenagers. I don't blame older people, though.

When I was 12 I recall other 12 year olds called me "bisexual" when they were mad because they thought it was a rude word, not because they were even trying to say something about my sexuality. I didn't know what it meant either, I thought they were calling me transgender or something. I'm not gonna assume those kids grew up to be homophobes. Some people double down on bigoted behavior as they grow up, sure. Some people are quick to change when they learn more.
