@keybladermaj@drpeppers1lover@rabbitlorn@malesshutup The issue is her lack of understanding of intersectionality. A lot of gay slang overlaps with AAVE precisely because it was created by BLACK GAY people within black and afro-latino queer spaces, that doesn't strip it of its roots in gay culture
@rabbitlorn@malesshutup Also my point was never that fag and racial slurs are the same thing, it was that the logic of "they use it so i can say their slurs" is the same logic no matter which slur you plug into it. And if we all agree that logic is wrong in other cases, why is it suddenly fine here
@rabbitlorn@malesshutup also gay men actively reclaimed the word “bitch” and “cunt” from the misogynistic context straight men created and turned them into terms of endearment/empowerment. "bad bitch” “she’s that bitch” “serving cunt" “that’s cunt”
@erhineston3@rabbitlorn@malesshutup Reclaim probably wasn't the right word to use but my point really was that queer subcultures have used these words to strip them of the power straight men gave them as insults
@drpeppers1lover@rabbitlorn@malesshutup Mainly trans women and fem gay men. Also most gay slang comes from ballroom culture not black women lmao. “Clock that tea” for example comes from ballroom culture but was later popularized by black women in the 2020s
@drpeppers1lover@rabbitlorn@malesshutup actually a lot of the slang that gay men use comes from the ballroom scene, which is black and brown gay culture. “serving cunt” specifically also originated in ballroom, so yes it was gay men as well as trans women of color who did that
@UrbFubb@m_scaft@malesshutup also asking how something is homophobic and then pushing back when someone gives you an answer just means you didn’t ask out of curiosity but out of bad faith
@UrbFubb@m_scaft@malesshutup when you use "go finger your butt" as a way to dismiss someone who’s gay it implies you think there's something shameful or degrading about it, which is a sentiment rooted in homophobia.
@malesshutup so you understand the connection between homophobia and misogyny well enough to tweet about it but not well enough to stop using homophobic insults because it reinforces misogyny. cool.
@BoyImGettinCash@Luv3bugg@chrisisclueless Doesn’t matter cuz Kamala still won the overall Latino vote. And you do know there’s other ways to kiss up to white people besides voting for Trump right?
