is getting upset at being called a liberal a thing in america or something???

e: it seems that slurs are fundamentally more serious things in america because they carry connotations of being backed by thrteats of violence up to and including rape and murder but i hadn't heard that liberal was included in the list of such words, or was it just a joke idk

Liberal is kind of contextual. Politicians will proudly declare themselves liberal, but it's often levied at liberal politicians as a slur from both the left and the right of liberals.

i tried to raise the bar by making a joke using the word that i hadn't seen before, but it doesn't seem to have gained traction.

I didn�t intend to connote liberal to a slur and if it sounded that way I apologize. I meant to bring up �hey folks on here get mad about being called this or about what words they use to describe their politics so maybe have some empathy for people not wanting the r-word used.�

When you use "liberal" to describe someone's politics the intent is to make them mad though.

cspam consensus is that zero words used itt are slurs. if you disagree gently caress you, there is another forum where double plus ungood words are banned.

there was a mod feedback thread where a guy bitched that he should be able to say it and I told him to "eat a shotgun" and got a probation for it, that's my stance regarding the word and the mod team :tipshat:

edit: actually I got probation twice for it

Wheeee: Mar 11, 2001; When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
