Am I wrong for assuming that anyone who does this unironically is likely too immature to be reasoned with?

Still happens all the time, tbh. I work in a public school and I hear homophobic shit all day long. I also hear it from college students as well. It's not gone, it's still very much around. And that's bull shit

It's a general term and people know it doesn't have homophobic connotations when said in real life

Though the internet is a different beast entirely and it instantly means somebody is homophobic for using it

Using it as a slur is so 90's.

Even then, people who grew up in the 90's no longer use it. Those who still use it as a slur tend to be the kind of people that other people don't associate with.

When using gay or r*****, maybe use a word you actually mean to describe someone with?

If you think someone is being foolish, then why call them gay? Fool =/= homosexual

I think there are definitely some insecure, damaged guys out there who equate using racist and/or homophobic slurs as being "tough."

Most people just laugh at those types. Hiding behind a computer and using those words doesn't make anyone tough. Anyone can do that.

You're welcome. Just trying to make you become a better person and stop using harsh language, brother. There are lots of words in English you can use, buddy. Lots of different ways to express yourself, mate.

And I use those too lmao.

I feel it's sort of like the r-word. There are purposely offensive applications and applications that have evolved away from the actual definition of the word. Both are certainly offensive to certain people regardless of context, but trying to act as the moral arbiters of speech seems pretty frivolous at the end of the day.

My point is that it's immature to use gay as an insult. Especially knowing the prejudice origins behind the usage and also because there are other ways [i.e. larger vocabulary] to be more clear and concise when communicating with people. Even when insulting them.
