along with the strong censoring that has occurred on reddit throughout the years, they have now removed r/all from the app and while using a desktop/laptop browser. instead of being able to stumble upon new subreddits you never knew existed, it wants to curate what you’re allowed to see
It was a social norm to call black people the N word for generations… Social norms do not define good or bad behavior. They define what people find acceptable. Socially, the word you wish to be acceptable has made more and more people uncomfortable and has in fact become less and less socially acceptable to use casually. Many words you used to use are weird now. Growing up we used to say “frick” unironically. These days it would be a little strange to toss that in as a filler word. It’s the same concept except for the fact that the word has not become a slur, it’s just been outdated in its use.
Language evolves and words become acceptable and others become unacceptable. It’s the way it goes and is not a sign of sensitivity, instead a positive sign of progression of language. You are fighting against the nature of how language develops.
Language changes, it doesn’t ‘progress’. Lots of new racist and discriminatory terms now exist that didn’t years ago, many of which are totally acceptable because they are new and not ‘weird’.
But keep insisting that your language use is the only ‘correct’ one, I guess? It must make you feel big since you ‘know’ the ‘right’ language use. You should go around and ‘educate’ everyone you see on the street about it. See how well that goes over.
