Words have no power. That's the entire fucking point. We have a precedence for this in Australia. Australians of Greek & Italian descent were referred to as "wogs".
You are talking crap, Awareness. *Of course* words have power. If they didn't have power, why did you put the word 'fucking' in the sentence 'That's the entire fucking point'? Do you have the written equivalent of Tourette's, or something? Or did you, in fact, think that the word 'fucking' helped to hammer home your vehemence in some way? Why exactly did you use that adjective in that sentence?
That's lyrical flow you ignorant twat. And the word "fucking" has no power. It conveys my attitude, but if anyone thinks the word 'fucking' is an exertion of white, male privilege, they're a fucking loon.
quote:
I've known black people who've heard the word 'wog' or 'n*****r' used to them. What they've described, as the way they've felt, is just hideous. It's humiliated them beyond what I can even really comprehend. It isn't fair that people should ever feel like that. Jeez, Awareness - either learn some basics, here, or come back with a new nick, because your present one does *not* suit you.
Okay, a bit of education, because dear God boy, you are clearly in need of it.
Years ago, I had a conversation with an American black friend of mine once. I referred to her as "black", then stumbled and said, "Look what's the correct term, I'm not up on what the appropriate word is these days."
She laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what you call me - I'll know you don't mean it in a bad way."
There's a misbegotten bunch of you who are always fond of quoting Eleanor Roosevelt's "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." Which is ironic, because you're always the first to line up and favour censorship so no special snowflake has their feelings hurt.
Words are part of the communication between members of the species, but most people understand that face to face communication involves tone of voice and body language. And it's not the words which hurt but how they're used and the attitude they convey. And the fundamental attitude which ACTUALLY hurts people is one of "I reject you because of what you are".
People hurt each other. It's not words which do it, it's the investment people have in those words which give them power. The African American community - mainly the rap/hip-hop community - really pulled a masterstroke. They not only completely appropriate and defanged the word "nigger" - depriving it of its power, but they made white people feel so guilty about it that you're all too gutless to even spell it out, let alone attempt to use it in conversation.
You'll write "cunt" but you don't dare write "nigger". Bunch of pussies, the lot of you.
There's nothing quite as politically correct as restricting the use of words to one group of people. That's brilliant and frightening all in one.
But I digress....
... the fundamental question is this: Is a gay man allowed to call himself a faggot?
Well, if we follow the "nigger" example quoted earlier, you'd have to say yes. The gay community is entitled to use the word "faggot" - and its derivatives - all they like. So if a gay man refers to himself as a "dangerous faggot" and embarks upon the "Dangerous Faggot" tour and somebody else refers to him by his proudly chosen moniker...
... then who are the fuckwits with the problem?
Milo Yiannopolous is reclaiming the word "faggot" and puncturing the left's punctilious obsession with controlling language (which, need I mention, was a fundamental principle of 1984's Ingsoc. By controlling language you control thought. By controlling thought you make it impossible to conceive of - let alone express or execute - resistance to the state). He utterly rejects the idea of limiting "offensive" speech and is putting himself on the line with his self-description.
Your pseudo-concern for minorities who might be offended is nothing more than a complex form of white guilt. Given you don't even understand your own bizarre twisted sense of morality, it takes a stupid level of hubris for you to even begin to think you have any insight into me.
Trust me lad, I understand myself more than you ever will. It's crystal clear that you haven't the faintest glimmer of insight into your own soul.
