What is it then?
- valianteffort 3y agoI see it more often being used in place of dumb/wild. I think it's pretty rare that people use it to refer to someone as a homosexual.
- FireInsight 3y agoI don't know what better term to use for people using the term associated with a sexual minority as a term with a negative connotation on people not affiliated with said minority. And "dumb/wild" is just one tame usage, sometimes "gay" is used as an even more generic "this person/thing/action is bad"-word.
- valianteffort 3y agoThe point is that it has nothing to do with homosexuals.
- boondoggle16 3y agoDumb and wild are also slurs, it's not possible to call someone "weird" without using a slur, because all words like "weird" were originally slurs, they have just undergone reputation recycling over the years that we forgot about it.
