    ok?

    So what if i just argued that “cocksucker” just meant that you would suck someones cock if you got you something. I.E. you’re easily bribed/manipulated. As far as i know, that’s how most people use it.

    That’s literally the implication like 99% of the time. If you wanted to insult someone for being gay, you would just call them a faggot or something lmao. No need to mince words at that point.

        to be clear, the wiki page you explicitly linked literally say it has a historical connotation, and the primary example it lists is from checks notes 53 years ago.

        I’m going to hazard a guess that the sentiment has probably changed, a little bit. Since 1972. 1972 to be clear, was 8 years after the passing of the civil rights act. It’s a bit of a different time period now.

        anyway point is, i’m not convinced anybody cares about using this as a homophobic slur anymore.

        Sorry for the short temper, this thread has been too long and I already explained this on another comment.

        it’s whatever, that’s how the internet is lol. This thread has been more than amusing for me thus far.
