| 5 months ago | mod | Removed Comment I agree that we should do something, defend the person/group being attacked at least, and making sure that the historical circumstances that make a slur a slur no longer apply as a current context.
But that does not solve the issue either. Take "retard" or "idiot" for example. There was one word, became a slur, then the new non-slur one became the new slur, and so on.
That happens with all the slurs. Same with "swear words" like fuck. There is freck, it means exactly the same, used in the same context. Somehow that word is good and the other is bad. And at some point freck will become a swear word.
We should, at all points, defend and protect others being harassed or attacked if possible. What I'm arguing is that empowering those words is part of the issue why they are weaponized, and a futile attempt because other words will be used with the same intent in their place. It is not useful to censor the language.
I'm sorry that you see no value in discussing further, but thank you for doing it until this point at least, you have been the only one debating in good faith. by h3rmit@lemmy.dbzer0.com reason: "debating in good faith" about racial slurs 🙄 |
| 5 months ago | mod | Removed Comment My point being slurs are made up. The spamming is the issue. by h3rmit@lemmy.dbzer0.com reason: lemmy.ml rule 1 |
| 5 months ago | mod | Removed Comment But that word only has power (that was my point with slurs being made up) because people give them power. There is nothing inherently wrong about the slur. And the societal and historical weight it carries is, again, being focused by people, if you ignore that the slur has no power.
The reason the spammer does use it as a "weapon" is because people are super careful with the slur. It is not as a real weapon where, independently of your opinion on the weapon, it can cause harm or be problematic.
Granted, that user would still be annoying as fuck by allcaping "HELLO", and people would leave.
But it is worse because people give power to that word.
