    We stopped calling people gay or R word in the early 90s dude.

    Wtf? Were you not around then? No we absolutely didn’t.

    It wasn’t until the early oughts that it started to fall out of fashion and it wasn’t until the teens that it was considered slur territory.

      We did where I lived. Was around the George Michael and other stars coming out, and people waking up about slurs, N word also was dropping out.
