question? why is the q slur being used? might just be me, but everyone I know thinks it's on the same level as r*tarded? sorry I'm just a bit confused ig. *edited bc I didn't know the hard r was the nword*

Pineapple Greyhound

I'm sorry, Sarah Clark is a mad...crip? What does that mean?

Pineapple Greyhound

Some people have reclaimed the q-slur and some people identify as it.

GB Patch

Yeah, it's not a word we use as a slur here and if someone on the team wants to identify as that, it's entirely fine.

GB Patch

It means neurodivergent and disabled. Like with queer, it's up to the person describing themselves to decide if they want to reclaim words used for negative purposes or not. I'm not saying to go call strangers that, but I would never tell someone on the team that they're not allowed to write those words about themselves if they're using it to be strong and confident about who they are.

OllieSollie

congrats to the people that were picked!

My Name's E

identify as... deviant and strange? when that word was directed at gay ppl for loving the same sex..? doesn't quite sit right with me but mabye it's just cause it's in the process of being reclaimed, in that case I trust the process :]

Romeo

I have rarely if ever met a person who still considers Queer a slur, it has been widely used for ages to describe the community. I'd already consider it reclaimed

Romeo

CONGRATS ❤ So happy for the readers that got picked!

My Name's E

ok hold on, to describe the entire community?? that's where I draw the line, that's like calling the neurodivergent community the r*tarded community??

Romeo

Hey so i don't know where you're from or how many queer people you interact with but this is. an incredibly bad comparison. Queer has been used for DECADES, both as an identity and as a way to describe the community. People will often say the queer community or include queer in the acronym (lgbtQ). so for you to compare it to the R slur is extremely incorrect and kind of uncomfortable? There's no line for *you* to draw, this is just how people identify and has for ages. Even straight people use Queer non-offensively so im not sure where this mindset has come from.

GB Patch

I'm sorry that makes you uncomfortable, but yeah, it is used to describe the community by many people. Honestly, I'm also someone who has never heard of queer being a slur in this day and age. I thought basically everyone was good with it. I use it for myself.

Glitchy Pix

Not to be rude but isn't this discussion sort of a rude thing to be having under a post celebrating the new sensitivity readers? It was already rude enough to question one of the readers own identity labels under their introduction but to continue to argue about whether or not queer is a slur under a post that was meant to be an announcement for the readers is pretty thoughtless and tactless

My Name's E

...did you just say I can't draw a personal boundary line..?

theoktony

Love everything about this, congratulations and thank you for the invaluable work you do!

My Name's E

Glitchy Pix, I just was asking a question on why a word I've only seen used as a slur be used, i'm sorry my not knowing that people find slurs comfortable to use nowadays is rude.

saf

i dont mean to offend you but no one is going to stop identifying as queer because some rando on patreon thinks its a slur

My Name's E

my guy, I was just asking why a word that I thought was a slur was being used?

Glitchy Pix

I'm sorry but you can't set personal boundaries based on someone else's identity labels nor on how a community at large regards itself. If you don't want to use the term or be referred to by it then, genuinely, that is full ok! But you have to understand that saying "the community shouldn't describe themselves as this!" isn't a personal boundary

saf

my guy, people explained it to you and then you doubled down reactionary style and you're now tryin g to set boundaries on how OTHER PEOPLE identify 😭 girl bye

My Name's E

I saw a singular person call it that word, I've only ever seen it be call the lgbt community, I was drawing a line saying "hey mabye don't call every gay person q*eer", but I'm not very social and live under a rock as a result, so I'm sorry if my wording is bad.

Peachi Seas

thanks for the love everyone!!!

My Name's E

saf, genuinly where did I try and set boundaries on other people? I said "hey this word is a slur, but if it's in the process of being reclaimed then yay", and "doubling down reactionary style"? I guess I'm sorry for not knowing and asking a question wanting to know??

Peachi Seas

general rule of thumb on slurs that can be reclaimed: if you can say them in full, than it can be reclaimed by those communities. also another rule of thumb, please do not compare any slur to the n word, especially the one with the hard r.

My Name's E

where did I compare the q slur to the nword??? i compared it to the hard r because I've seen neurodivergent people use it for themselves before, and I'm diagnosed autistic and have called myself r*tarded before, genuine question, why is the qslur fine to say nowadays but the hard r isnt?

GB Patch

If you didn't know than you didn't know, My Name's E. But I promise that it's not wrong to say the "queer community". I call the OL series queer-friendly. If you'd like more information on this I will have to ask you DM me or for you to search the history of the reclamation of "queer". The comment section isn't an ideal place for this. *Edited*

Marshie

I wouldn't really say that it's "in the process" of being reclaimed as people have been using queer for decades! "Queer community" is as old, if not older, than "LGBT community." A famous phrase used to promote acceptance is "We're here, we're queer, get used to it." It's commonly painted on signs at pride parades and such. The official terms for study of the community is "queer studies" and "queer history." Many people prefer it as a term because they find it more encompassing and accepting than being expected to use hard labels like gay or transgender. The idea that queer is only a slur, one on par with the hard-r at that, is actually a very recent development that is in denial of our actual history as a community!

Peachi Seas

I'm going to try and be respectful towards you and your experiences here as much as possible but I need you to listen to me, a fellow autistic person, when I say the hard R does not mean the r slur. When people say the phrase "hard r" when it comes to slurs, they are talking about the n word with the hard r. That's what that means; it means the n word with the hard r and that's what people are going to interpret as. You have been using it incorrectly, so now I will say this. Stop using the phrase "hard r" when your referencing the r slur.

Romeo

Queer is an identity and the R slur isnt. you can look up more on it online since educating you in a comment section is hard. and so you know the "hard R" refers to the nword. not the r slur.

Marshie

super happy for all the people who got the job and i'm eager to see how they help make ol2 the best game it can be

My Name's E

I didn't mean to start all of ..this, I'm just suprised my not knowing sparked an argument where I'm the bad guy, welp I learned my lesson to keep living under a rock and not ask questions ig. I've been told before that my apologies aren't beliveable, but I'm genuinely sorry to have ruined the vibe, if that's bad phrasing I'm sorry for that too, just sorry to have started whatever this was.

Romeo

Your apologies don't sound believable because you guilt trip people. You asked questions and we answered them, do not act as if we have done something hateful to you. I think you should just countinue on educating yourself.

Glitchy Pix

Sincerely very happy for everyone who got the position!

My Name's E

me being exasperated with myself is guilt tripping?? I'm sorry for phrasing it wrong then

GB Patch

If you're sorry please edit the phrasing of your first comment and don't keep living under a rock. I'm sorry to all the other readers/comments that I wasn't able to better respond to this conversation in the first place.

My Name's E

sorry, i'm stupid, do you mean my original comment bc I edited that, or the comment where I say sorry?

GB Patch

The original. I didn't see the update you'd made

Romeo

I don't think you're responding to me in good faith anymore so I'm not gonna engage further. do not bother responding to me because i won't read it

Pineapple Greyhound

Gotcha, thank you. I googled and it and thought "nah that can't be right". But it was. And I agree, I'm not telling people they can't use that to describe themselves.

Courtney

congratulations to the people who got the sensitivity reader job(s)! they are gonna do amazing work :)

Amber Jordan

Congratulations to everyone who got the job!

Kiji Marie Anastacio
