so I got blocked on Wattpad for the first time . I just want everyone to know that people of all backgrounds are welcome here, but if you are someone who uses any derogatory terms loosely expect me to call you out on it. Books are books. Authors are authors. You can’t hold a book liable but you can an author. If you have any aspects in your work that either endorses or condones bigotry you’re of the worst of the worst. Just putting it out there. This isn’t a tangent or anything and after a few minutes I’m probably gonna forget about all this because like it’s Wattpad, what really happens on here, but I just wanted to address this issue once and for all to show people where I stand on certain issues.
PSA: THE F SLUR IS NOT AN INSULT SO DONT USE IT AS ONE. There’s a huge debate within the lgbtq spectrum about who can use it (in terms of like gay men, lesbian, etc—people within the community) but one thing is for sure is you don’t identify as an LGBTQ+ member don’t let it come out your mouth are in any of your work. A derogatory term is a derogatory term save yourself some dignity and realize it sooner.
