Being The Bad Guy Is Fun For Some People - Tumblr Posts

i feel like "but we need this new insult we made up that deliberately highlights the marginalized identity of the people we're insulting to call out marginalized people who are bad!" is literally always a red flag. like, we've talked about not insulting people's appearance when talking about ways they're bigoted or fucked up things they've done because you're hurting other people who don't do things like that in the crossfire and it's the same principle. you can say someone sucks and has bad opinions without making up a new slur to imply that everyone who is part of this marginalized group is cringe and inherently suspicious. also not everything has to be made into a sick burn that's fun and quick to fling around because regardless of your intentions it's at best going to get flung at anyone who makes people mad because that's how insults are used and at worst you're creating a new dogwhistle for bigots to latch onto

No, trust me, trust me. This time we found the good context for calling queer identities insulting names.
