Just cos its a made up social concept (I don’t think it is but I’ll accept the premises for the purpose of the argument) doesn’t mean its a bad thing. Morals are a social concept should we do away with morality in the name of tearing down oppressive social concepts?

Their is no objective measure of if something is a slur. Their is simply a word and some quantity of the population that find that word subjectively offensive against themselves. If enough people say that a word is a slur then it becomes a slur.

Let’s argue about the content of my argument and not resort to personal bad faith attacks on eachother.
So any word that has a 51% of the population say its not a slur is thus not a slur to use? I don’t think you are aware of how this would turn out.
So this paragraph exists to negate ur previous paragraph when I inevitably point out that many words u belive to be slurs don’t meet the criteria u outlines as slurs. But u can claim that its still a legitimate slur cos its offending a special snowflate “protected group”.
Usually an explanation as to why accompanies radical claims line this.
But u did it anyways didn’t you. Just couldn’t resist being a grammar Nazi hey?
Again have some class and engage my ideas instead of be a condescending insufferable asshole.
