  It is not.

  To censor a language is to censor thought itself.

  And if slurs and insults become censored and incapable of thought, what else is on the table, up for removal? Words about being queer, words about body rights, words about lived experiences, words that aren’t fucking corpo-washed.

  I have made my point in an unerring straight goddamn line.

  Languages should not shrink for any goddamn reason.

  Now go to bed, it’s 5:37 in the morning.

    No, drag means it’s hypocritical of you, because drag invented a new word and you didn’t use it. In fact, you used a different, more common word instead during the appropriate time to use drag’s word.

      I don’t have to use your word, I can use whatever words I want. It’s why there are options.

      You can use whatever words you want too, and you don’t have to use the words I provide.

      You don’t have to use the words anyone provides, and no one has to use the words you provide.

      This is how language develops, how styles and dialect and vocabulary develops.

      And you can stay up and fill my inbox, I don’t care anymore, but I’m going to sleep. To bed. Conk out. Hitting the hay. Getting some rest. Zonk.

        Drag doesn’t understand why you’re so insistent on making the english language smaller and preventing people from expressing themselves with new words.
