Why is faggot censored?
Because it’s a hateful slur.
So?
You obviously haven’t had it used against you as a call to violence have you?
No, I got called other words. Not banning them either.
It’s in a meme. Reading it doesn’t harm you.
Censoring it doesn’t harm you, either. It’s a word that’s only purpose is to spread hate. Nothing of value is lost.
It does, because I call my bf a removed teasingly. And a lot of my gay friends do the same.
Or a packet of cigarettes
I think you meant “fags”. Not quite the same word.
Derived from the same word, but an abbreviation of it.
