Either be all edge or no edge at all.

As a cuck once said, "they're either all okay, or none of them are okay"

I would offer a little bit of a nuance. Of course, I can't control people who throw around slurs willy nilly, I can only judge them

But the thing that differentiates a slur from a regular disparaging remark is historical and institutional baggage. That's where the nuance and asymmetry come from

Which is why a white person calling a black person the n word is different from black people calling each other the n word. One's echoing centuries of oppression and dehumanization, while the other's a reclamation of a slur into a term of endearment. You see this as well in the queer community adopting the f slur, though not universally.

Hell, even "queer" used to be an offensive term, but has now become more accepted. It demonstrates how context and reclamation change these words

Well the guy I was referring to gets upset about retard but not faggot so not really the case here

Also it's not the history that's offensive, it's the context. If a black guy referred to another black guy in a derogatory manner for being black that is as offensive as a white or asian guy doing it.
