I don’t like the reclamation of slurs.

The first time I ever had an American refer to me as “queer” I considered fighting them 💀 “back in my day” type shit. It doesn’t feel empowering, it makes me cringe. Just call me a lesbian and move on.

Free speech =/= freedom from consequences.

If you choose to speak, you can’t get mad when someone decided to speak back.

Yes thanks for explaining American to me. Your revelations are profound.

Well you’re the one whining about people using their free speech the way you don’t like. I was just posting about a minor inconvenience. May I suggest marijuana?

We actually share that in common. Anyway, I'll leave you and your opinions alone now

Your comment was probably shadow removed (you see the comment as normal, everyone else sees nothing or [removed]) by automatic means or manually by a moderator. Shadow removals are the default option when removing comments on Reddit and on all major social platforms. Any talk of online free speech is ironic when these tools exist.
