And people into transgender fetish porn call it "tranny porn," that doesn't make "tranny" any less of a slur. :v
I'm not sure what the logic behind "The people who get off on/objectify them use the term, so it's okay!" is but it's a little suspect. :v
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from (no pun intended), but... that's not really what I'm getting at. I'm sort of puzzled by your flat assumption that none of those people are GLBT but rather a bunch of asshole cishet bigots. o.0
Frumple's probs right though, I'll curtail my part in the discussion here.
Yeah, I considered adding an addendum saying something like "Dickgirl might be a different thing, though. I do know of *some* trans people using the term, and I haven't heard much against it. Not to mention that 'dickgirl' is usually used in terms of drawn porn, which I don't really give a shit about because it's not actual people. (I'll give a nod to people talking about normalization here, but it hasn't been proven for video game violence, I'd say the jury is still out)."
And, I mean, Alleecat herself used the term, so at least in-so-far as it relates to her spheres, I would consider it alright.
I guess my main point was, purely and simply, that the logic itself of "Porn users use the term, therefore it's okay," was a little wonky, which you said you can at least see the perspective of, so... WASTED POST!
