“Fag” is most definitely a slur. A slur you’re arguing it’s ok to use.


>“Fag” is most definitely a slur.

No one is being called a "fag" though.

>A slur you’re arguing it’s ok to use.

I've successfully argued that "Archfag", "oldfag", etc. are not slurs, and are therefore OK to use. QED.

>Your argument rests on 4chan not existing the real world.

Wrong, 4chan is a subset of "the greater real world", and therefore has different sensibilities, culture, etc. Exactly how Blacks can say the n-word and it's not offensive, they have their own sensibilities and customs, and are a subset of "the greater real world." QED. Argument is proven factually correct here. I win.

>Your entire premise is faulty, because it does.

Just proved my entire premise is logically consistent and bullet proof.

> "Fag" is a slur on planet earth (where the 4chan users reside). There's no argument beyond that.

Stop shifting the goal posts. No one is calling anyone "fag" in this instance. Even then, using the logic above it is not a slur.

>There's no argument beyond that.

You're right, because I 100% proved my point and there's no argument that can say otherwise.

I win. Any response from you is you admitting that I'm right and that I won.

>There's no discussing things with racists or homophobes.

Good thing I'm neither, and you discussing with me proves that I'm not. QED.

>Sorry, I'm done with you.

Glad you admit defeat.

>"Fag" and the N word are slurs,

Except no one is calling people those. Stop moving the goalposts and stop creating strawmen.

>and there's no escaping that

Just did above, with bulletproof logic. QED.

>no matter what your cognitive dissonance says). I hope you grow up someday and learn this.

There's your famous IMAX-level projection!

I won.
