Do you support exploration of slur usage in media? I don't think calling someone a tranny, nigger, dyke, beaner, chink, faggot or retard is ok at all but I feel if it's fiction it's fine. I'm so sorry if you don't want more questions but I just wanna know!! I don't wanna seem like a bigot while exploring topics that may be uncomfortable to some people /gen
A: Yes, I think people should be able to use them like that, especially if said media is about that kind of thing. I think if they were censored, it would defeat the point of their usage in the first place. Actual racists don't censor their racially motivated words, so a racist character wouldn't either, for example.
