A little bit of cultural linguistics going on really. Even though the texts are also calling OOP gay and queer, and doing so with the same amount of vitriol as with the f-slur, they aren’t recognized as emotionally charged in the same way.

I don’t buy into the concept of hate speech.
I’m curious, what exactly does this mean? Wdym by hate speech, and are you saying it doesn’t exist?
