Imagine thinking that a slur is acceptable because a lot of people use it. Because of which people use it, and who they use it to describe.

If, in the context of Scotland and Scottish football, enough people use an unacceptable slur it then becomes ok? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the other way around. A perfectly common term doesn't become offensive just because you can't say ****** anymore. Especially when the people telling us that it's offensive all share one trait; the football team they support. Outside the Rangers support, nobody holds this view. Because it's a term only Rangers fans object to. Because they can't say ****** anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border Reiver Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Again, playing the poster rather than the post.So you joined the lodge to reform it from the inside?

The idea that *** is a term that covers protestants in Scotland is a hilarious fiction. We all know it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's commendable in a way how Rangers fans have decided to just brass-neck this one. 'It's a term that is only used to refer to Rangers fans, so it must mean something else'. Being comfortable hitting out with this mince takes a special kind of baws. All because you can't say '******'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
