this post contains slurs and mention of slurs, if you feel offended by them or fear to be triggered, please avoid this

The only people that i know that agreed to use them in dark humor or irony are either from my country, a similiar country to mine or straight up are the slurs victims, so i wonder…what do y’all think? If it’s not a problem i’d like to know if you don’t mind the use of slurs in a ironic way or dark humor context and where are you from and if you are one of the victim of the slur;

I want to underline that i mean only slurs in a IRONIC or DARK HUMOR context and not meant to harm.

Will i get banned?

    I feel like usage of slurs are 99% unnecessary. I stopped using slurs in my own jokes when i realized it only normalizes the usage of that slur.

    Even if you dont mean anything harmful or “its just a joke” that still normalizes its usage as a degrading term. I mean the sole intention of using that word is because it is degrading/harmful, why else would it be dark humor?

    I also just find humor and jokes to be way more creative and funny when you dont use slurs.

    I have no problem with the victims of a certain slur using said word since you cant really discriminate yourself the same way others can, hence why using it upon yourself and/or your own group/culture is also common.

    For anyone interested theres alot of philosophy and human rights concepts behind this. My partner is currently studying human rights which is where some of these concepts were brought up in way more detail.
