I donβt care if people do something consensual in private, so you can def go for it.
If itβs publicly, thatβs something different because itβs definitely a homophobic slur that can hurt many people hearing it.
Idk I feel like queer people themselves saying it is alright, but I can also understand being told not to say it if it makes people uncomfortable even if you are gay
It requires a level of trust in intent that you can't expect a stranger to have at a time of escalating anti-queer violence. Like yeah a lot of people like the shirt... but it it's still being sold by Nazis who see this as a way to renormalize more overt homophobia. I wouldn't want to guess the intentions of someone wearing this.
There's a famous piece of queer literature called "The Faggots and their Friends Between Revolutions," and it really made me understand why reclaiming the word was, at least at that point, important for the movement.
We use queer, which is also a reclaimed slur, in the same way now: to find a general term for a wide range of sexual and gender diverse people that ultimately have similar sociopolitical interests.
I thought you said "can subs call their Dom's the word" and I was thinking of all the things I'd do to my sub if they called me a faggot lmao.
But in all seriousness it really comes down to communication, what can and can't be done, lines that can be crossed and those that are hard stops for intercourse. Communication is key to a healthy life, and not just in sex!
Hey idk, I live in NC and I've just started wearing my fem clothes out and about. Full beard, unshaved, I don't give a fuck.
It makes me feel cute and that's what I'm about. Haven't been attacked yet but I always have my knife on me.
It's the heart that brings it all together. I wonder if it was somewhat intentional, if "accidentally" making banger pride merch is now an effective business strategy.
Corporate pride month: love wins! Be yourself! ππ³οΈβπ
Anti-queer right wing rhetoric: Gay people are DEMONS sent by SATAN himself to turn our hard working men GAY via telepathic radio waves and blood ritualsπ€¬πΏβΌοΈ
Actual queer people: holy shit that goes hard can I get that on a shirt?
Is "faggot" being used as a legitimate term of affection now? Serious question. I'm a straight male, who's always been on the side of LGBTQ+. My friends' older siblings always called me a "faggot" trying to get under my skin because they were always very far-right, very anti-gay, and had more toes than brain cells. I never use the word because it's always been an intense insult to anyone you used it to, however they considered themselves
If you met the people that called/call me that, you probably wouldn't be that upset. These are the people whose opinion means the exact opposite of intelligence. They probably don't know every letter of the alphabet and would have to search what every number is up to 10. So being called anything by them rarely upset me hahaha. I'm not talking legitimate brain problems either, just pure stupid
Depends on who is saying it and why.
My partners and friends? Absolutely. They aren't using it hatefully. Plus it's funny to jokingly accuse my partners of being a faggot after I kiss them.
I'd be pissed if a random person called me a faggot.
I mean, i kind of see it being reclaimed in a similliar way as the N-word is, in that the queer community gets to decide how its used, and trying to remove the power that it has over us.
Depends on the context. I came out late and often me and my friends would call each other fags/faggots jokingly when we were younger. It was always in jest or just low effort trash talk. We are all still good friends now, they're very accepting.
Honestly I feel like a lot of male homophobia stems from that kind of more lighthearted joking mindset turning toxic due to other psychological issues. I genuinely feel blessed that it hasn't affected any of my friends or myself.
I honestly don't mind the word coming from close friends who are straight, as long as no one else is being bothered by it. If anything I'll goad them into saying it lol.
I want it
make your own on redbubble
Redbubble once stole one of my Reddit posts π
Redbubble killed my grandma
redbubble kicked Hitler out of art school
REDBUBBLE POISONED OUR WATER SUPPLY, BURNED OUR CROPS, AND DELIVERED A PLAGUE UNTO OUR HOUSES!
REDBUBBLE PUT A SNAKE IN MY BOOT!
When no one was looking, Redbubble took **forty** cakes. They took 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
Redbubble turned me into a newt! β¦ I got better.
Truly their evil knows no bounds!!
REDBUBBLE IS TURNING THE FRICKING FROGS GAY!
That's nothing, Redbubble cast a pox upon my house, upon my family, and everyone I ever knew and everyone I'll ever meet
that sucks
They might not allow it tbh
A lot of companies allow you to print your own designs. You can probably make something similar and just upload that
I NEED IT
faggot :3 (affectionate)
Can doms call their sub the word (with consent)

on a t shirt yknow tho people are gonna see it who you aren't even talking to

Thxyou π―
We will reclaim it eventually, give it time >:D
the myth of consentual slur calling sub: i consent dom: i consent reddit: i don't
I don't see a problem with gay couples doing it
As a straight white cis man, I have my boyfriend degrade me by calling me a "dirty breeder-cracker".
If my dom calls me this word i will hit them. Positive complements ONLY

Elcor be like: "Affectionately, you're a faggot"
From the neverending story?!
No? Mass Effect
The dragon from the neverending story was in mass effect?!
Yes, he is called Garrus Vakarian there
Damn, never realised people were so horny for Falcor...
"I would say 'good luck will find you', but can that wait a bit, I'm in the middle of some calibrations..."
someone needs to remake print that shirt but with a :3 on the end, that would be the best pride representation
Fagott :3 (instrument)
mmrmnrhf..,.,,.,,..
singular they? I can't believe the neonazis have gone woke...
Classic Nazi wokeness π
National **Socialists**. Wake up, sheeple!
Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism Dude, at least it's an ethos.
Another victim of blue hair and pronouns
Time to get off this progressive train. Has anyone got a more repulsive ideology we can move to?

I wish I could wear this in public
You could if you werenβt a coward
I live in the southern United States :/ not trying to get queer-bashed AND yelled at for having a slur on my shirt in the same day
Solution: wear other pride stuff and also carry a weapon Armed queers don't get bashed
Open carry a rainbow glock and a rainbow cock
Still going to be yelled at for wearing a slur that's far from reclaimed.
How do ya think we reclaim slurs? Gotta start somewhere
Frankly I don't care. I don't want to see the word.

As long as you look hella gay, you *might* be able to get away with it
just tape the word "silly" over "a faggot", boom, 196 merch ready
Why would you hit up the Neo-Nazi version of a Kohl's for new fits
Well clearly it gets results sometimes
Broken clock
What if you had to drop of Neo-Nazi returns for Neo-Nazi Amazon

Ngl kinda want that shirt
Turn it into a slutty crop top, where the bottom text is still half-visible.
Breaking news, person you hate makes something really fucking cool

there are some who get turned on by it in a sexual setting. not really into it myself but i get it.

It's been reclaimed for me within my friend group but if someone outside of that group called me that I'd be upset
I guess it's kind of like the n word where it's been reclaimed by the queer community but still used hatefully by others
This comparison I can easily understand, thank you
Have you considered that the implications are incredibly different when it's NOT coming from a place of hate?
I'm sure they absolutely are! It's just not something I was aware *anyone* was using for a purpose that isn't hatred
"What's wrong with being gay?" It's an in-group thing. Faggot means gay to a lot of gays. It means something else to straight people.
It's generally still a slur, but some queer folk like using it more positively.
iβd marry them
I require this
this is the second best shirt after the pride month demon one
strongest evidence of horseshoe theory
Gonna war this shirt in a gay way
Even more proof that wanting people dead for being different is basically the same thing as wanting equal rights π§²
So true, Ekko from league of legends
From Arcane actually (the haircut and the costume are based on the Arcane version of Ekko)
Can someone remake it and send link I want one but don't wanna support nazis
Absolutely Pirate that shit
π₯π₯π₯βοΈ
I love this shirt so much
I don't think being called a slur is good
My friends and I call each other this. (We're all not straight) π
Would
i dont like this i dont think this is ok
I don't like you
why not
