this post contains slurs and mention of slurs, if you feel offended by them or fear to be triggered, please avoid this

The only people that i know that agreed to use them in dark humor or irony are either from my country, a similiar country to mine or straight up are the slurs victims, so i wonder...what do y'all think? If it's not a problem i'd like to know if you don't mind the use of slurs in a ironic way or dark humor context and where are you from and if you are one of the victim of the slur;

I want to underline that i mean only slurs in a IRONIC or DARK HUMOR context and not meant to harm.

Will i get banned?

I agree with that, i don't have any problem either; I even use slurs like batty boy or lady boy in ironic/dark contexts while talking of myself simply because it make me laugh (I am a femboy and genderfluid, that's why i use 'em), usually with other trans or bisexual friends, but if there is someone that don't like it I avoid to do it, i also avoid if there is a transphobic/racist/etc etc person in the conversation because they would use it seriously and probably think it's normal, which is NOT

Though, if they use it seriously then i am going to do dark humo about them by saying stuff like "I hope that you hangout more often with us...by your feets" or "you should wear another scarf today", in there i didn't used slurs but it's kinda dark ( i guess? My meter of how much something is dark is kinda broken tbh)

    This is where I was tempted to respond with a joke, referencing your gender and sexual identity, as an example use of what I consider acceptable in this particular contex. While you would probably get the joke and not be offended by it, I have decided against it, since there are likely to be people stumbling in, not understanding the context, and taking offense to it. Audience matters, intentionally or not. Plus, the written form makes it harder to convey the humor in a manner that cannot be misunderstood.

    Plus, I can only imagine the "this you?"-screenshots when I try to state explicitly that the boards I mod are against homophobia and transphobia, or anything similar.
