How can it have any real meaning if everyone has their own personal definition?

[-] girl@unilem.org 4 points 10 months ago

Lots of things work like that. It’s called connotation (personal definition and significance), which does not require denotation (an actual definition)

Yeah sounds like the definition of a slur

Slur, “an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation.” So, yes. I’m not particularly worried about slurs against tankies, just like I don’t care about insulting or harming the reputation of nazis

ETA: pigs is a slur for cops, that’s a slur I don’t mind either

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
