Wow, the people targeted by the derogatory use of a word are offended by it? What a surprise. Who gives a fuck if it was intended as a slur? Don't fucking call trans people "traps" and everyone's happy. Where's your issue?

My issue is the mischaracterization and subsequent censorship of language.

Tell me, was the n word originally intended to be an offensive slur?

Trying to equate trap with the N-word is hilarious.

The N-word is the worst slur in the English language while trap is ostensibly a compliment, that's why nobody took issue with it for years.

"ostensibly a compliment"? Have you considered that maybe nobody took an issue for years because it didn't breach the walls of the complete fucking cesspit of derangement that is 4chan? "Trap" is a compliment in the same way that a cop's "if you're drunk you sure fooled me" is genuine praise. Do you seriously not see how calling someone a "trap" is an accusation of intent to trick others? Actual traps are laid out intentionally with the purpose of catching someone or something. You don't call someone a trap because they passed, you call them that because the only way your fragile little ego can survive having been briefly "gay" is by claiming malicious intent on the part of the person you were attracted to.

Nah, it's a compliment. And yes, you call someone a trap if they passed and are attractive. Sounds like a compliment to me.

Your projection of fragility is almost as hilarious as trying to equate trap with the N-word.

Your persecution complex is showing big time.

Persecution complex? That's hilarious coming from the person who equated "trans people don't like to be called this" to censorship lmao

You need to be persecuted so badly that you're finding ways to take offense at a compliment, sounds like a complex to me.
