Slur
‘An insulting or derogatory comment, reference, or label.’
Personal accounts
“The “f” slur (used against LGBTQ+ people) shouldn’t be used even in reference to cigarettes. Apparently, LGBTQ+ people used to be rolled up in carpets and burnt alive as a punishment for their sexuality or gender, which is why it’s compared to cigarettes, which in my opinion is a bit harmful and offensive.”
“Words only the group the slur was originally pointed at can use the slur as a way of reclaiming past problems.”
