And the places that claim to be anti-slur are actually only against some of them. I have yet to see ban "hick" or "hillbilly" or "nazi" or "pagan". The metaphor filled english language is filled with slurs.

    Nazi and pagan aren't slurs. People self-identify as both due to accepting their ideologies.

    You might be confused because people say "nazi" as if it were a slur due to nazis being reprehensible.

    Pagans are alright though.

    Pagan started as slur for non-catholics. And saying Nazi isnt a slur because there are real nazis makes no sense. All slurs refer to real demographics of people.

    Pagans are referenced in the bible, long before Catholics existed. Don't say nonsense.

    Do you think that Catholic is a slur? Is any descriptive word that someone might not agree with also a slur?
