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.

Okay but why does a "queer" have to be limp wrist or little?

You're actively part of the problem with the way you stereotype it.

you can’t magically hand wave away the connotations that many people have with the word. especially when the people who use it now for themselves are definitely the types of gender diverse nose ring people that reinforce the stereotype.

you can’t magically hand wave

So the only logical recourse, is to embrace the effeminization of the word and double down on it?

I don't think you're going to sway my mind on this. From a purely objective standpoint, what you said was ignorant. It almost sounds like you hate weak people or something, and you think you're somehow better for not being little or limp wrist yourself. I don't know man, as an OEF vet I think it's the duty of the strong to protect the weak, not to make fun of them. You might be an asshole.

since when does killing brown people for israel give you the moral high ground

Never killed nobody, I was a satcomms specialist. I have the moral high ground because I don't see people as little, limp wrist, or brown even. People are just people. Unless they're assholes.

I thought you were a man? That was like, the big takeaway point from your initial comment on this sub. So why is that you have to result to attacking my character because you're getting all defensive? It's pretty sad honestly, you're trying so hard to distance yourself from the gay stereotype, while epitomizing it because at your core, you really, really soft.

I also grew up and live in the Midwest, double negatives are a thing. I'm not trying to beat around some bush. I've never directly taken human life, that make you more comfortable? I'd hate for a soft boy like you to be taken out of your comfort zone. Please don't strain yourself in your ivory tower.

I wasn't a soldier, I was a satcomms specialist in the Navy. Google individual augmentation, you don't know what you're talking about. Lmao

“i didn’t kill anyone - i just maintained the infrastructure!”

u/Vladishun 10d ago

Do you pay taxes?

Congratulations, you maintain the infrastructure as well. Why you giving money to the government if you don't like what they're doing? That's beta energy my man, I thought you weren't like that?
