:::: I'm with Pluto on this one. I think there is a distinction. I do think it's worth pointing out that splitting the concept would make for a less confusing page, as I do think [[Queer|our page on the word]] is a bit of a mess.

:: I'm not saying there is literally no distinction, just that it's — to get all fancy and semiotic — ''connotative'' rather than ''denotative''. Our page could usefully be restructured to better distinguish positive and derogatory instances, but if we're going to have the page at all, I just don't think it would be accurate to the history of the term to treat it as a completely different word from prior derogatory usage. (And as for the — as far as the DWU is concerned, hypothetical — antisemitism example, as Pluto said, the subtleties are best covered on the bespoke page; but even before the current effort to resort to this situation more often, I just don’t think [[Jew (slur)]] would have been the right way to approach he problem.) ∼∼∼∼ | |||
