***blood?

REALLY?

***blood?

*dies laughing*

[(Anonymous)]

It's an offensive and potentially triggering term to those that have been verbally assaulted, so yes, I censored it. I wish more people would.

[(Anonymous)]

L.O.L.

(Also, this kind of stupidity makes it harder for people with actual triggers to be taken seriously.)

[(Anonymous)]

You've obviously never been called a nigger, faggot, dyke, or any other racially/sexually/culturally insensitive word. ***blood is in the same boat as those words.

da

[(Anonymous)]

so you censor mudblood

but... you don't censor the words that are actually offensive

okay then

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

That was for emphasis.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

lmao my thoughts exactly. this person is obviously a leeeettle bit removed from reality.

[(Anonymous)]

Except it's not, because it's fictional. And pretending it is pretty offensive to people who actually have faced real life prejudice.

[(Anonymous)]

Just because it is fictional doesn't mean it is any less hurtful. Wizards have a long history of oppressing muggles and muggleborns (Salazar didn't even want them in the school!) and this word is an embodiment of the ignorance and oppression many muggleborns have faced. It's just as painful as the other hurtful words I listed above and just as damaging. Allowing people to say ***blood nonchalantly is enabling them to do the same with these other words, as it's an indicator of the person saying it -- they're insensitive to the power behind words.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I lol'd.

"Just because it is fictional doesn't mean it is any less hurtful"

Actually, I think it means exactly that. Because it hasn't done any harm to anyone. Never.

[(Anonymous)]

there are no wizards

hth

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Wizards have a long history of oppressing muggles and muggleborns

They have a fictional history, because it isn't real.

this word is an embodiment of the ignorance and oppression many muggleborns have faced.

No it isn't and they haven't, because the word, ignorance, oppression, and muggleborns are all fictional.

Allowing people to say ***blood nonchalantly is enabling them to do the same with these other words

No. If someone calls someone else any of those other words, then damn right I'm going to do my best to call them out and shut them down. If someone calls someone else a mudblood, then--unless they're seriously attempting to co-opt it as a legit insult against someone who's of mixed race or something--then I'm going to laugh and take it as a joke. You know why? Because Harry Potter ISN'T REAL.

Sorry, snowflake, but if your entire argument is that I should be upset because of someone using a word that's hurtful to people who don't actually exist, then I'm going to have to sit here and laugh at you. How about taking your self righteous anger and try to make a difference in a matter that's actually hurting real, living people? How about getting upset about the real world parallels to the 'mudblood oppression' and doing something to help change that instead?

[oflittlebrain.livejournal.com]

i am laughing at you really hard ahhh HARRY POTTER FANDOM

[websofseaweed.livejournal.com]

Haha, okay, I laughed pretty loudly at that one. If you're trolling, well done. If you aren't...then the world is an ever stupider place than I thought.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm convinced that you're still mad that you never got your letter to Hogwarts when you were 11. That you refer to people as "muggles" and believe that you have some wizard in you. Because the only way "mudblood" would ever be insulting to someone was if they were delusional and believed that the wizarding world was a real place.

[a-better-thing.livejournal.com]

Oh god I am laughing so hard right now. You are truly the best troll, never ever change.

[teacandles.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I wasn't going to ay anything about this secret, but the absurdity of this comment is making my blood boil, particularly because I was accosted the other day with one of the words you used above.

Yes, I can see instances where 'mudblood' could be used as an insult (against those perceived of having lower blood/breeding/class/whatever), but that is likely to be uncommon and most likely used jokingly amongst kids who grew up on Harry Potter and are using it as a (stupid) reference to the books. To censor the damn thing and then use uncensored real insults that didn't fucking originate out of a children's book series is fucking insulting in and of itself.

[(Anonymous)]

Not the person you were talking to, but as someone who has been called one of those words, you can fuck right off with calling them equal.
People like you are who make it difficult when those of us who are called these words try to speak out because why take us seriously when there are people upset about a fucking book? (I say us because the way you are behaving gives me the impression you never have been and this is just a bout of self-righteousness or something).
I also love how MUDblood is too ~offensive to type out, but you have no problem typing out the rest.

NA

[(Anonymous)]

My god, you're an asshole.

[(Anonymous)]

I pray you're trolling. Unless someone was verbally assaulted by someone cosplaying a Death Eater, no one in the entire world should be triggered by "mudblood". Jesus Christ.

[(Anonymous)]

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Oh, man, you're being muddy hilarious today!

[alliterations.livejournal.com]

Unless people are using the fictional slur "mudblood" as a substitution for words that are actually offensive to, you know, real people, then there is no problem, because people who would be called mudbloods don't actually exist.

[(Anonymous)]

...the only people it could offend or trigger DO NOT EXIST. Repeat with me- DO NOT EXIST. Good Lord, some people

[(Anonymous)]

ok, now I know you're trolling since there is no one on this planet that has been verbally assaulted by mudblood.
