AutismGOD I kneel.Personally I shy away from using slurs when speaking, and just saying "fuck" or something similar makes me blush from embarrassment.
Is it autistic to be like this? I think it's a little abnormal, but then what is the purpose of swearing and slurs in language. I cut my hand and I say "blyat" in that emotional moment, but I can't do it while speaking.AutismGOD I kneel.
I'm not incel enough to answer this.Is it autistic to be like this? I think it's a little abnormal, but then what is the purpose of swearing and slurs in language. I cut my hand and I say "blyat" in that emotional moment, but I can't do it while speaking.
I don't swear much. I try not to just cause it is cringy.Personally I shy away from using slurs when speaking, and just saying "fuck" or something similar makes me blush from embarrassment.

Those words have a hurtful connotation simply because they originate from being used in a negative manner. I can call you a stupid, idiotic, foolish dunderhead, and I can say you lack a good intellect. Which sounds better and which sounds worse? Obviously, the latter sounds a bit nicer. If I call a Black man a thick-lipped coon, even if his lips are rather large, that's still a hurtful thing to say, and he ain't taking it as a compliment, no doubt. Calling you British'd be different from calling someone a nigger, because identifying you with that word, "British", is a neutral term. It isn't negative. Even if things are "just words", think outside of the literal, material sense of them. What are words used for? Meaning! Words have meaning, so therefore, words can have a negative or a positive meaning. To deny this, to say that the negativity of words like insults is simply non-existent, is to deny the purpose of words in conversation, and that is a dishonest view of the world.I swear all the time, say retarded, say nigga and nigger, "slurs" aren't real, they don't exist. If you call someone a nigger, what does that mean, that they are black? Isn't that a factually correct statement, or am I wrong in that? What about calling someone a chink or a paki? A paki is a pakistani, a chink is a chinese person. If you correctly use those slurs, you are using them factually correct, it doesn't even matter if you use them incorrectly. They're just words. I don't understand why people are so buck broken over words, it's like getting mad because someone called me British, that's just factually correct.
The meaning of words can change easily over the course of time. Often more than not, a "hurtful" word can be used without any malice or negative intentions behind them, like calling someone a jap or a paki or a brit or a murican or whatever. Other words like Shitalian aren't even offensive, it's just shit + italian, same with tranny which is trans + granny I think. They're really just dumb words and if you choose to get offended by them then you're kind of stupid. I feel as if people say nigga a lot these days, white, black, hispanic, you name it. Most of the time, it's casual and there is no bad intention behind it. To be a word police is kind of a shitty thing to do, even if you are absolutely certain on the intentions behind the words you use, you have to fallback on a mysterious entity to judge whether what you say is "correct" or not.Those words have a hurtful connotation simply because they originate from being used in a negative manner.
