i found out one of my kinda close friend from uni is fujoshi too. we've been friend for a two years but because both of us are closeted, we didn't know about that until two years later. she's the only one i talk with when it comes to yaoi and shounen ai manga. but i once rode my uni shuttle bus and you know the bus was full so i had to stand and th...... reply
My homegirl fellow fujo and I talk abt yaoi together irl istg I’d go crazy not bein able to scream abt ships together, and if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have even gotten into yaoi in the first place...(⊙…⊙ ) I shiver at the thought
However, we loosely swear secrecy and if parents ever found out...sweet Jesus that is the stuff of nig...... 2 reply
No one else know i am a fujoshi but myself. Does anyone here all alone too? I can only talk about yaoi through web people not in real life. It's just hard to find this species (T_T)
Lmao why does it sound like you want to say the words
You also literally called them slurs so I suggest you look up the definition of "slur" because that might answer your question 2 reply
Because history. You can't magically make words associated with years of ridiculing a minority be socially acceptable just because "at the end of the day they're just two words", shit doesn't work like that. Just don't use those words in the first place, problem solved no brainwashing technology needed. 1 reply
Uh? We're reclaiming those words because racists, for example, won't just stop using those slurs with the original meaning racists have given them. Are you aware that most of the lgbt+ terms were slurs? Bi was a psychological disorder. Slurs aren't slurs because they "offend" people, they're slurs because they carry centuries of pain, suffering and...... 1 reply
I think the centuries of oppression that follow those words, is what offends people and ignoring that wouldn't fix the problem. As a black person, When someone not of colour says it usually not all innocent or nice it's usually Somone know how much pain the word can cause when they say it and delibertly say it. But I can Kind of see what you're try...... 2 reply
Long story short, the n-word and f slur both have years and years of history behind them that make it offensive to the minorities it's directed to. And I'd say that it's hard to just take away the power the word has since you can't decide what a minority group finds offensive or not offensive. It's still disrespectful for them basically. reply
Bro I'm sorry but this is so stupid. Like seriously? Sure, this "they're only words/a string of letters" can work for cuss words like fuck, shit, ass, etc. but it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to use the n-word or the f-word slur without certain meaning. You either: are a black person who uses it kinda synonymous to "bro" or you're a non-black person who ...... 2 reply
