Transphobic slur? Isnt that a homophobic slur? And yes, I understand it can be used against both, but why warn for only transphobic slurs and not both?

but why warn for only transphobic slurs and not both?
A mistake, I thought that I already put it in and did not check.
Because the group tagged is more apt to assume it's in bad faith where as from personal experience being a bi fur most of my fur group has no issues calling each other that word but would probably not use it in a public setting like this
I personally find it kind of fun, especially on game chat if you hear someone using it as a slur to question them about why that's an insult and press them until they squirm
I'm not saying the word has not been used for harm but if you want that to end the only way forward is to change the accepted use of that and similar phrases
I don't care about the use, however, OP did put "transphobic slur" in the image description to allow people to block or filter out posts with those words. I was just wondering why "homophobic slur" was missing as it's mostly used as that. And it seems it was only a mistake.
Fucking love this
Nice piece and also absolutely HELL YEAH
Holy shit, this guy is great. I wish he posted more.
Fire
Im not gay but I would rather be nice gay person than an asshole straight person which a fascist straight person would be.
Thanks for warning all the people who "hate politics" away from this post. I don't want to have to deal with them in threads like this because they're all transphobes.
Don't call us all removeds. Not everyone has had a good experience being called that, and unlike you, some of us don't want to appropriate that word because it fucking hurts.
atbge material..
GTBAE is more accurate. Great message, ugly ass image.
