So now you've shifted to the position of "slurs are fine because language is, like, just made up, maaaan."

Slurs are a social construct. They don't exist without human meaning. I don't support harmful language. Slurs just don't exist in the same way gender doesn't

Lol. Ok, bigot, sorry we can't keep up with your genius reasoning like: "slurs are ok, because language is just a social construct!"
