bro who cares words are words, say whatever the fuck you want where the fuck you want as long as you aren’t directly offending anyone. Keeping these words behind a pedestal does nothing but hurt everyone.

i got into an argument semi recently over whether “pansy” was a homophobic slur, i don’t think anybody even knows that is was used as one today lmao.

I never said don’t say it.

I’m just saying, in public spaces or sites where kids can be. I try not to say those words? They’re impressionable and it’s just not constructive, sure they have their place in jests or lustful talk.

I consider it manners.

i mean sure, but this is lemmy, not a fucking cod lobby, how many children do you think are on lemmy? There’s shit tons of porn here.

There’s a time and place for everything, including behavior and language, an individual should be able to gauge whether they use certain words in certain places.

sure it’s manners, but sometimes breaking manners to make a point is more important.

I didn’t say lemmy, I fully agree about it all. However I am talking about in general.
