Yes it's all about the context in how it's being used and it seems fine to me in this example.Quote:

While I agree with freedom of expression there are many other substitutes to that word. Because keep in mind you can and WILL be jailed for using that word in any context (outside of you) which is another issue. You see nothing wrong with it but many people of the same community do see something wrong with it, therefore regardless of the context it should not be allowed.Quote:

I will explain why I feel that way.
The term "Dyke" is often used as a derogatory word but in this situation it was not. It would be inappropriate though if you were to put in your status that you're pking dykes.
Same with the term emo. If someone wants to let everyone know they are emo that is fine imo.
I just feel you are grasping at straws.
u look very mad about this word clam down idk what u thinking but it just a word :)Quote:

While it depends on the context its safer not to use the word than to use it and cause problems, because do keep in mind like I said other have been jailed for having this word much in the same context.
u clam down first ok?Quote:

And as I said your expression is not the problem, its the fact that only YOU can get away with using it while others CAN NOT. Also for the perhaps 3rd time now I would like to say that the the core issue is not on the use of the word DYKE but many many other things combined at once, if you could all just stop nitpicking at the first picture or sentence of my post I would much appreciate it because I am getting rather tired of having to re-explain and defend myself over and over.Quote:

I feel like this could have been a private conversation between you and Tricky. Did you ask her to change her status with appropriate reasoning before taking to the thread? Probably not.
