I will concede to the fact that some people may use it in a positive way.
But you CANNOT say that is is not at all an offensive word. It can certainly easily be used offensively, and most of the time it is used, it is.
Some people are never going to be able to hear it without being offended. And right now, I would be that is the majority of people who it could be used against/has been used against (since it's not just gay men who get it thrown at them). Until most of the people who would be genuinely hurt by it being used, or genuinely offended, then you cannot say that it is not an offensive word, even if it is starting to be used positively by some.
tl;dr Words can mean multiple things. Being one thing doesn't rule out the other. And you really need to take into consideration with this particular word? That it is still being used to hurt people. It
is offensivepisses me the fuck off to me that you say it is not an offensive word.no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 03:38 am (UTC)(link)But with regard to the secret, I see no reason why I should not use it in a place where it has entirely different context. Really, anyone going to /b/ without foreknowledge of what it is like is probably going to be offended by everything, not just the use of one particular term.
