Just saw a clip of Benjamin Shapiro saying the R slur.
This is their new thing. Under trump you don’t get house or money or food but your neighbor gets deported and you can say the r word again.
Like this is 100% gonna backfire, nobody was asking for this. It makes them look like 14 year old boys.
Espically Ben Shapiro saying it 3 times all smug, he looks like a 14 year old boy whose mom isn’t around and he’s saying naughty words!
They’re losers people hate them and this is loser behavior.
Was it really ever a word you couldn’t say? Even liberal Americans say it offline during conventions. Only on the internet you can’t say it.
It’s nowhere near as taboo as the N word f.ex, not even close.
What I’m really concerned about is Politicians running on the promise that they will let you say the R word on the internet again and nobody is saying Let’s get the autistic people out of ICE detention camps.
I think with normal people who weren’t in “leftist spaces” I noticed they started using it again IRL after COVID
My normie liberal friends don’t care
I think the difference is that it’s really weird and immature for a politician to run on it
I noticed this especially myself, its a reflection of covid with normies, I even heard a few f slurs and got it directed twice at myself (once hatefully, another playfully), and the r word was never polite but now I hear young people using it. Gay as a pejorative also made a comeback simultaneously
Also, one of the largest and most active forums in the internet (Wallstreet bets) used it with zero irl consequences.
It’ll get you looked at funny and shouted at if the people around you are cool if you say it out loud, but the truth is that most people didn’t really care about it so much as to do something about it the way other slurs do.
Yeah and the latter only since about 10 years, plus minus.
