A little bit of cultural linguistics going on really. Even though the texts are also calling OOP gay and queer, and doing so with the same amount of vitriol as with the f-slur, they aren’t recognized as emotionally charged in the same way.

I’m not happy with any of the depicted harassment in the image (fake or not), it just not that funny. If you want to see what happens if you have a descenting opinion though, you can see my massively downvoted post below.

Is it doubling in size?
OP isn’t using it. He’s quoting someone else using it.
Then it breaks Rule 5:
That’s ridiculous, quoting harassment is in no way itself harassment. That would undo just about every awareness campaign ever.

I don’t buy into the concept of hate speech.
I’m curious, what exactly does this mean? Wdym by hate speech, and are you saying it doesn’t exist?
