Why is #9 with the gendered slur even up there? It's extremely offensive and hurtful. I mean you freeze/delete posts for using that slur, why let a secret with that slur pass?

[case]

Here's some explanation from two days ago: http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/967028.html?thread=724253812#cmt724253812

Why is it different from say, a racial slur? Because a racial slur almost always automatically includes everyone in the same race as part of the group being put down (as the insult is directly about the race of the person). In this instance, it's clear that word is not being used to reference or to mean "all women" or "women in general" and directed solely at one person (as OP references other women as "women" in the secret), and the word also isn't a slur that's strictly limited to women; lots of FS users have had long arguments about the use of the word in places like the UK and Australia where it's an all-purpose insult (not having to do with the person's gender).

If the secret had said all female comics are cunts, or all these cunts in stand up comedy, or calling another poster a cunt, then that'd be an issue. It doesn't, though.

Hate that word. With a passion.

That's nice. I love it because it makes people irrationally angry. Words only have the power you give them. Also, it's a crude word for a vagina. I'll always read it as that first. It's a nasty word. It's a sexy word. It's just a word.

I love using it in smutfic, and when I'm really, really angry at someone.

Oh screw off, its just a word, not a "gendered slur", chill!
