You've got "guy", "gal", "person", and all sorts of words to mean person so you don't need to say fag to mean person. It doesn't mean person, it's short for faggot, which has been a slur/insult to put down homosexuals for many years even though it's original meaning was small bundle of wood.

Why don't the younger generations substitute nigger for fag then, huh, as a word for person? Is it cause it's more likely they'll have their teeth knocked out. "Oh, (hehe) he's such a ponynigger!" Fabulous, amirite? Why not just say ponyguy, ponygal, why do you have to use fag?

They're both put-downs, insults. But it's still okay to use fag 'cause it just homosexuals, right? It's not based on skin color just who someone sleeps with so it's okay to use the word, right, to mean "person".

Fag has a history that I don't think younger people consider. Children use it as a put-down to other and to mean dirty, bad, wrong even if not to mean homosexual.

I don't care that context, intent, meaning, whatever has changed for you and the younger generations . Society-at-large still uses fag as an extremely derogatory insult. Fag ranks up there w/words like nigger. You just don't say them. It might be okay in certain circles (like online) but don't use them in public spaces.

In which case anon, I don't care that fag and faggot are used as derogatory terms. To me they mean cigarette and an offal based food product.

+1 Brb, off out for a fag and then cooking pork faggots for my tea.

(Half joking, those things really aren't very tasty)

Except unfortunately 4chan has decided to try and give "nigger" similar treatment. I agree with you 100%, but these children think that slurs can be whitewashed through intent alone.

Who the fuck ever implied that it was OK to use it in public spaces? OP's secrets is about 4chan's usage, not about mainstream usage.

I take it you've not encountered /b/tards out in the wild calling people "___fag" without context, then? And then getting really pissy at anyone who reminds them they're not on 4chan?

(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Who the fuck ever implied that the secret is only about 4chan? OP's secret is about turning a slur into a happy fluffy word universally, not about just using it on one website.
