I understand what you mean,as a fellow Balkaner,but this is an international forum and we need to conduct ourselves appropriately
Still,the normalization of slurs here is something I deeply disagree with,as I believe all humans deserve to be treated with the appropriate respect
I live my life just fine without making use of this word,and I haven't felt like my speech was limited in any significant manner. I do admit I use dumb or stupid on occasion,but I've been trying to limit those as well. Anyway, insult-wise there are plenty of other words to use without the negative connotation.
I don't really have an issue with not saying certain words, because,let's be honest,their non demeaning use is marginal. I can live my life just fine without saying them and I wouldn't feel stifled.
