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.

i have definitely seen "gay" and the f-slur come back, but a large percentage of the time its been by fellow lgbtq peeps, so i dunno? I don't really use them, but I don't see why we cant.
Haven't seen an acceptance of whitey using the n word without pushback, and casual racism against Indian men has always been "acceptable" here in amerikkka, so i dunno.
