Is telling people to kill themselves morally unacceptable Yes. 🤦 Jfc, "asking me not to use a slur against disabled people is a slippery slope to asking me not to tell people to kill themselves." Fucking, good! Btw, you can make your argument if you want, but then like, where do we stop? If I call a straight person the f-slur, is that acceptable? I'm not actually saying it at a gay person, I'm just insulting someone by suggesting that they're gay. Is it ok for a white person to tell another white person they're acting like an n-word? Exactly how far are you willing to take this bullshit? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yes. 🤦 Jfc, “asking me not to use a slur against disabled people is a slippery slope to asking me not to tell people to kill themselves.” Fucking, good! how many times do i have to explain that im not using it against disabled people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Objection@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) I like how you completely ignored my arguments.

There's a contextual difference that you don't seem to understand. Now if we're going to fix that argument for you, free of charge you would say something like "is it ok for a white person to call another white person the N word?" could go either way depending on the context. Heavily context dependent usage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Lvdwsn@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago I’ve got no stick in this fight but just wanted to chime in and say you’re losing this argument buddy permalink fedilink source parent [–] Objection@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago* God, what a shit perspective. Comparing someone to a category as an insult is also insulting the people in that category regardless of whether the person it's directed at is part of the category or not. Calling a white person the n-word is offensive to black people, calling a straight person the f-slur is offensive to gay people, and calling neurotypical people the r-slur is offensive to the mentally disabled. If I call you a "pasta eater" it would only work as an insult if there's an unstated assumption that eating pasta is bad. If I call you "gay" it only works an insult with the unstated assumption that being gay is bad. This isn't rocket science. permalink fedilink source parent
