    SHitty people all call their friends queerphobic slurs in both English and Spanish, I’ve seen it.

    It doesn’t excuse it, and it doesn’t make their language and behavior less queerphobic. In fact, the fact that they use it so casually is just more evidence of how deeply entrenched queerphobia is, and the fact that they’re willing to continue to normalize this in society with such callous disgregard for us LGBTQIA+ people does not reflect well on their character.

    Sounds to me like you just surround yourself with 4chan tier people. Yikes.

      Frociaggine is not a word that refers to a person. Frocio is, and I mentioned that while it is sometimes used without hatred, the latter is more generally a slur. Frociaggine/frociata is also very used to describe something flamboyant. It is a bit heavier than that, but definitely far from “fag…tness”.

      I explained this already, but you didn’t want to read " the essay", so here I am repeating myself.

      fact, the fact that they use it so casually is just more evidence of how deeply entrenched queerphobia

      Or maybe it’s evidence that cultures and languages are differently and evolved differently, and not everything has to model to the English (American) version?

      I already made an example for insults which are used completely in a friendly way, you can have other examples in religious people god-swearing (something that doesn’t even exist in most languages). The fact that while you don’t belong to the culture, do not speak the language but pretend to be authoritative about what the language is or should be is honestly hilarious. Now, is the pope queerphobic? Very likely, but because it’s the head of a queerphobic institution who has a queerphobic posture since ever, not because he used frociaggine.
