10/10 thread. Would read again.

I wasn't seeking to be offended... I just know tranny is a slur. Sure there are some who want to reclaim it but they're the tiny minority. Like 95% of the trans people I know of do not like that word being used. The drag queen community rather ill-advisedly uses tranny to refer to themselves. Maybe you're confused about who thinks it's ok.

Krell's, my friend, I don't need a sub. You're already my dip bitch. It's only fair you should have one for when you tire of getting your ass kicked, you can kick a noob.

Truth is Krellin's pimp??? I need to go on this site a LOOOTT more :P

What the fuck did you just say about me? I'll have you know, I'll wreck the both of you in classic, I'm just not very familiar with variants.

The LGBTQIWTFBBQ community seems to invent new sexualities, phrases and definitions for themselves every month. Most people don't care enough to keep up with it. That people are divided over what constitutes a slur and what doesn't is unsurprising. Stop catering to a bunch of manchildren who masturbate to the thought of being a victim and just keep using the words everyone knows and recognizes. Slur or no slur, it makes things simpler.

I refuse to just sit by and let people use slurs just because "it's simpler." That's idiotic. It would have been simpler to never give blacks or women full rights too. People are divided only because they are ignorant about trans people. Saying that trans people are just a bunch of manchildren is so grossly transphobic or at least grossly apathetic.

I must admit, I'm starting to lose track of which words are no longer politically correct. It changes so often.

It's funny how different countries find different words offensive.
In North America, "crap" is considered okay but "shit" is offensive.
I think it was Britain "shit" is okay and "crap" is offensive.
They both mean poop. Lol

It's not even about PC. It's just plain offensive stuff like if you call black people the n-word.

A while ago I mentioned someone went "trans" and offended a whole bunch of people who made it seem like I ruined their day because it implied they weren't born that way. Ever since then I've just given up on it all. People on social media are just looking to be offended because it's the socially right thing to do.
Not saying you're like that Skylin, just felt like ranting.

Also, to clarify, the people I was talking to weren't trans.

Skylin who even used the n-word? Those two words are definitely different, especially considering the fact that you are comfortable with saying tranny but can only refer the the other as the "n-word"

I was using that word since we were directly touching on it but I don't feel like using the n-word unnecessarily. No one used the n-word though. I'm just making a comparison of the 2 words and their severity.

@Fluminator: Yeah no worries.

This isn't about civil rights. It's about morons getting offended because someone didn't use the correct word in a sea of ever-changing definitions.

This particular word however has been around for quite a while as a slur. Stop trying to use that as an excuse. The wider population of LGBT people aren't tumblr.

It's been around for quite a while as a non-slur. The point here is it's just impossible to tell half the time and we shouldn't bother ourselves with it.

I'm just going to disagree with what you're saying and we can move on. Talking in circles at this point.

the word gay has been used as a slur much much longer though, yet it's the G in LGBT. The word queer is also a slur, and it's the q in LGBTQ. What's your point? People use abbreviations for things. Hell, LGBT is an abbreviation! Tranny is much faster to type than Trans person, and transgender.

Lastly, google the definition of the n-word. right off the bat it says something along the lines of "taboo" or "offensive" where as if you google tranny, it says "informal" or "slang." I'm sick of your elitist attitude where no one can use slang anymore and everyone has to use the politically correct term for everything or else be called out for it. It's actually a very common word in vernacular and I'm tired of people trying to shut word slang words off as offensive just to make themselves feel like a keyboard warrior. You're not. It's actually kind of annoying. Let people be ordinary people and not politicians.

Jesus, I've been holding that in for a while.

I really don't want to continue talking about this as I already said and if you google it expands upon it from it just being informal and slang. A pejorative and often considered a slur.

If you refuse to believe me, just ask here: https://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/
Many trans people visit it daily. Just ask if tranny is a slur and see what the general response is.

@Fluminator - interestingly I don't think many people here in Australia consider crap or shit offensive.

Whilst this has been an interesting discussion, we seem to have moved off topic.

Welcome to our WebDippers who've moved across to give VDip a go. Enjoy all the variants guys and gals.

Haha. Fitting username.

@Yoyo, to be fair, the point of this site is to make us all politicians. :P

@Windir......In the morning to you.

Do you know of what I speak?

A word is not a slur if it was not intended as a slur. If you wasn't to be a narrow minded arrogant prick and police the use of every word in a rapidly fluid language, where meanings of words are constantly in flux... Go for it.

I refuse to live in your world.

Trust me, if I want to offend someone, "Tranny" is pretty fucking low on my list of words to use.

Lighten up

GAME: Who's in. Ugh....32 , full press, WTA, mall to fit #of participants, or by majority suggestion.

Whatever Krellin. I already said let's just disagree and move on. You just do not understand and you obviously didn't even try the link I posted.

Skylin - there is nothing to disagree about. You are wrong. You - and all the obnoxious people like you - think that YOU and YOU ALONE are granted the power to be the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong, of what is offensive and unoffensive. Fuck you. I find YOU and people like you offensive. I understand you *completely*...you are a narrow-minded judgemental fool who thinks the world should revolve around whatever you think, but you are too stupid to realize that cultural differences - between color, relgion, geographic region, age, etc etc etc means that it is IMPOSIBLE to have any sort of "universal" declaration of what word is offensive from day to day. THEREFORE, jackasses like you that seek to DICTATE to others when they are offensive based solely upon YOU narrow understanding of the world offend the shit out of me.

Now shut the fuck up and join the game.
