(Anonymous) 2013-05-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)Yep, going by dictionary definition it can be perfectly suitable word to use. (Though personally not my fav, cause I don't see why I should have to justify any of the things I do in fandom.)
But words also get stuck with... context baggage shall we say? When a word very often gets used by certain groups to try and ruin other people's fun (omg how can you justify this slash/het/femslash/whatever pairing, these characters are not gay/straight/together in canon/whatever whatever) people are automatically going to have a reaction to that word, even when used in innocent context. That is how language works.
The OP just wanted to have a fun discussion on what works and doesn't work for people from the looks of it. I gave them a suggestion for a word that has a bit of baggage in fandom discussions. OP is cool with it, I'm cool with it, only you seem to have a problem here.
