Hello
Re-beam me!
Yeah but Mastodon has “toots”
The word itself isn’t bad. In fact, many languages use the equivalent word as a regular part of their vocabulary. What’s bad is the intention and history behind it. Using a racial slur isn’t wrong because of the word being said, but rather because of the intention to offend or demean the people it’s used toward.
Jesus fucking Christ! Learn to think for yourself! There is no such thing as “good words” and “bad words”. There are just words.
A lot of Hungarian family names are based on location. They basically translate to things like “Croatian Esther” and “German Andrew”, or with village names. My phone is the same: I’m nomadic and people’s names end up being where I know them from: “Steve Bangkok”, “Nora London”, “Maxine Cape Town”
