    I dont see a contradiction. Not everything a person says is meant to make other people do things. We are in a progressive bubble where I assume most people make an effort to not use racist language and when I see someone using it I inform them about it and however they use that information is up to them.

    How would you suggest I reword it? English is not my first language and it didnt seem pushy to me.

      Im not specifically invested in making people stop using it

      You said this, but you’re STILL trying to defend your stance that we should not use the word. It’s not a matter of if you’re being pushy, it’s WHAT you’re pushing.

      In this case, do you REALLY want to see progressives in these spaces divide up into camps arguing if the word is safe to say or not? Do you think everyone will just “work it out” between each other? Have you any clue how these issues harm progressive movements?

      I am literally half thinking you might be a bad-faith plant or provocateur, even Lemmy has them.
