@yon oh yeah, hopefully, talking about slurs doesn't make people think this is only about slurs because I do mean every single word :emolga_sweat: those examples just came to mind, though I guess adding more, different examples may stop people from thinking I'm only talking about slurs :cat_think:

@OctaviaConAmore We live in a time with more propaganda than ever before, and most of it people aren’t aware of either. The power of language is a bit like a spell, or like a self propagating auditory virus if you will. Racism and bigotry is often connected with trivializing and jokes for instance. There was a big push for “there is no racism in america anymore” for a while and it was just thick of racist rhetoric. Getting informed is a great start. Especially since a lot is context sensitive and quite frankly local. But both yes and yes. Not just slurs, but being informed about slurs is important.
