Reclamation is generally performed by the targeted group. You must first seek approval from the gay council before pursuing this
Bi guy here, messenger for the council.
This guy sucks.
But they don't call each other it. It's not like they even use it, we could change the meaning. Blacks should have pulled the uno reverse and started calling ex slave owners and confederates the N word. You can't tell me that shit wouldn't have been super effective. It would be like us calling white Christian natíonalists the f word. Take their power away. Love it or hate it, you know I'm right.
Enough.
Every single person in the group chat, minus the guy from the Atlantic, has done heinous degenerate treasonous shit and deserves to be called out for it. Use truth. Stop with the slurs.
