There's a difference between slut-shaming or whatever and being a well-meaning shit to people you know.
To some people, the use of the N-Word to refer to friends is offensive and horrible, while to other people, it's used in the context of bonding and taking back the word.
So without knowing the context and intent of the utterance, we can't definitively state a word or its usage as being solely in one camp or the other, without the risk of mass thought-control.
the context was in the post
and yes, it was a shaming statement.
and even if it's not a shaming statement, people who use the word "ho" and "slut" in a "joking" manner would probably not like being around me. because I would call that shit out just as I'd call out rape jokes or transphobic jokes or fat jokes.
it should be pretty easy not to be a jerk, but for some people it seems nigh-impossible.
This is where I say in my post you should say "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you" and move on because the person is clearly looking for a reason to get offended by it :v
