Only a slur if you have hate in your heart when you use it. Otherwise it has common usage.


You can claim this about all slurs, my point is that most websites don't care and blanket ban them.


You can claim this about any non-slurs too. I actually would argue that most sites don’t do any kind of blanket ban, perhaps social sites. Queer as a slur has American roots. Most of the world doesn’t acknowledge such illogical frailty.
