The general discussion is the Wild West and as long as it wasn’t targeted at anyone or clearly offensive (racist/ homophobia). There are serious sections for serious stuff.
According to Morgan I can call people faggots cause I'm gay.
In all honesty I call my friend faggots all the time, in my opinion I don’t use it hatefully directed at gay people (nor can I say I’ve personally heard it used like that) but just as a term for bullshting that evolved online. Thats not to say I would walk up to a random person and call them a fag It would be something that I would say when I was satisfied they knew what I was saying wasn’t coming from a place of hate. It would truly terrify me if a smiple word had the power to do the same damage that an actual weapon could do to me. I love the phrase “sticks and stones may break my bones but words may never hurt me”. But at the end of the day if you said that using that word offended you I would try not to use it around you and hope that if I did you would know it would never come from a place of hate. Its always about trying to identify what that person means in the sub text.
I've seen many gay people get called faggots, hell most gay people don't tell others they are gay because they are scared, calling someone a faggot isn't going to help.
Also the term sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me is complete stupidity, in many cases depression can and is formed from things said to people, especially to people who get hurt easily, of course calling your friends faggots isn't gonna hurt them since they are your friends.
