>>33833885The word itself has racist origins and that means it can be used as a racist insult.
But as others say it depends entirely on the intent and context.
However, normalfags have blown out of proportion how bad this word really is.
First of all, there are people who will get triggered by this word and attack you. And that is animalistic behavior: a word does not hurt physically, ergo a word shouldn't provoke a physical reaction unless you're a fucking animal. If someone calls you faggot, you call him back something if you want. And nobody cares that much about other discriminatory slangs, talk about double standards.
Likewise, the media always loses all of their shit whenever this word is used. Seriously, I still cannot believe that people are so scared of a word, they have to say "n-word". It's ridiculous.
An entire generation grew reading a saga of books where the idea of a word/name inciting this kind of fear was ridiculed as something comedic.
Does nobody realize how retarded and infantile they sound every time the say "n-word"?
Holy fucking shit.
