the left column’s header is “reclamation:”. below is a picture of a person who holds a poster overhead. poster says: “that’s mr faggot to you.” text below explains: “presents the slur as an identity worth defending, explicitly opposed to how most people use it.”
the right column’s header is “not reclamation”. below is a picture of a person who smiles and says, “of course i look normal, i don’t have to act faggy just because i’m gay.” text below explains: “uses the slur as something negative, worth condemning and distancing from, identical to how the general public uses it.”
the second picture is a screenshot of the tags.
#that’s part of why i can’t see the use of the r slur being framed as reclamation #not once have i seen it be used in a positive way. people just use the word reclamation to mean “being able to use a slur”
