Slurs becoming normalized in 2024?
Slurs becoming normalized in 2024?
Maybe the solution is to stay off Twitter, but it's very disturbing to see the normalization of slurs happening in real time on there. White people saying the n-word with approval, the return of saying "gay" as a pejorative, lots of casual racism against Indian men, using the r-slur to describe something seen as stupid. I don't know whether this is a larger cultural lurch to the right, or whether it's mostly attributed to Musk's elimination of quality control and monitors on the platform.

Yeah I'm noticing this trend too actually. For a good few years it's been pretty firmly unacceptable socially to say the r-slur for example, with even complete chuds dancing around it with "oh yeah i cant say that anymore!" kind of stuff. But over the last year or so I've seen people just throwing it around like it's nothing again, and I'm always just like "wtf, did i just slip back into 2011?"
ive even seen other leftists (and not just the stupidpol/red scare types) use the r slur. like, i know you know how bad that word is, why the fuck are you still saying it
My lib Zionist boss says it with impunity, guess they haven’t run into anyone to correct them
This happened in 2020 after Biden was elected. Liberals all breathed a sigh of relief that they could stop pretending to be anti-fascist warriors for democracy, and could go back to slinging slurs. I think it was just artificially unacceptable during the Trump years because it signaled you were Trumpist if you were giving chud signals
