          It's something that has been, and still is, used as a homophobic insult
          I tried to get this through to you

              (Especially a homosexual)

              It was made to be homophobic. The Reason it’s an insult to straight men is rooted in toxic masculinity and derived from homophobia.

              You, a straight dude, don’t get to decide it’s not offensive it doesn’t concern you anymore than dumb ass white people in the south get to say the n slur is just a word.

                  Do you… do you think this definition was written by a person in 1890?

                  It’s a definition acknowledging the homophobic use of the word in its history and that it was earliest attested in 1890

                  Either way, people today are telling you the same thing as well, the point is it’s been that way for a while.

                  Either way when it was written, 1890, 890, 2023, doesn’t really address the fact I said before: You, a straight dude, don’t get to decide it’s not offensive it doesn’t concern you anymore than dumb ass white people in the south get to say the n slur is just a word.

      Conventionally it is used as an insult so that is why it is one. The contents of the world are not the important part here

      In school there were several insults people used against each other (in Hindi) that we did not exactly know the meaning of. But like knowing they were bad is good enough
