>>14391937Actually, last night I was watching the South Park episode where they redefine the word fag, and it kind of made me think about this place.
The one thing I like most is the way the word faggot is used. Yes, it has a negative air to it, but the way it's used here, it's not really
homophobic. Yeah, it's an insult, but the way I see it, it's used.
Homosexuals aren't just faggots;
EVERYONE is a faggot. I'm a faggot, you're a faggot, OP is especially a faggot—everyone it a faggot. It's kind of how I guess black people use nigger, but we don't exclude anyone.
Some people are proud of it.
"oldfag reporting in..."Some are ashamed.
"I'm not a newfag!"And in the end, however, like it or not,
you're a faggot, and so is everyone else. It's lost it's real meaning, and with such a word, that's actually really fucking good. The rest of society should follow suit, because one less hurtful word can do the world some good.
If it's a thing about everyone, it loses it's power. When it's used as a weapon to hurt a single people, that's when it's bad. That is
nigger. It was a word used to oppress slaves, and refer to them as filth.
"What a dirty nigger!"By as a society, getting over these definitions and losing the meaning of these words, we can truly make strides forward. Honestly, the liberal use of
faggot has got to be the best thing that's come out of 4chan.
