No one calls a soldier a baby killer because they think it's a "Good synonym."Â
Comparing prostitute to any slur is INCREDIBLY silly because basically no one uses prostitute as a slur.Â
People call prostitutes prostitutes because that's the most technically correct word they know. I have nothing against defining new words and putting them into circulation.Â
I do have an issue with a small subset of a group suddenly saying, "OUR WORD IS THE ONLY WORD YOU CAN USE."
They use it as a slur whenever they use it as a verb. I'm trying to figure out when somebody accused me of prostituting myself and meant it as a compliment, and I'm hard pressed. Maybe that's an experiential thing.
Just because something is not a slur does not mean it is a compliment.Â
I question why someone a smart as you is resorting to petty semantics :c
A compliment cannot be a slur
A slur cannot be a compliment
That doesn't mean something that is not a slur has to be a compliment.
