(cw: slur discussion) Anyone here notice how there are more people saying the r-slur and f-slur nowadays but they're using them against right wingers? What's up with that? (hexbear.net)

I have noticed this too. I feel there's been a general uptick in hateful language being used, 'ironically' or not. Could be a kind of cultural swing back from the widespread check on people's use of those words, whether that's an assuredly conservative cultural shift I'm not sure yet.

But yes it's certainly perceivable and I think it's a bad sign, I'm sure this is only the start of this kind of reaction.
