    Why is it used as a slur?

    Easiest way to push their buttons. One may not care if another sucks cock, but if they’re insecure like these folks, then it is very effective.

      Growing up, the worst thing you could be was a guy who liked other dudes. Being called a fag and cocksucker was just like “casual” insults, the way Australians call someone a cunt.

      I kind of like when it’s reclaimed. Like someone calling themselves a fag or a whore.

      Because usually the bully ends up getting even more mad.
