>be me, edgy zoomer tranny>be online friends with a millenial cis woman from Cali, the type you'd expect to not break PC rules like not saying slurs that don't apply to her>have made a habit of using the word tranny so much as a normal term for trans that I often forget it's supposed to be offensive>which makes me stupidly use it this way even while talking with her, she never said anything of it though>be complaining today to her about how over it is because zoomers have no future and I'm a tranny freak>she types trannie (I guess she intentionally mistyped it to be breaking PC rules a bit less but it's the same thing) while talking about it>don't even think of it until a while later because I forgot it's a slurAm I too brainroted? I genuinely took her saying trannie as a completely normal way to talk about it until quite a while after. Apparently I have ruined her vocabulary too, I hope she doesn't end up talking like this at her job and getting fired
idk, black people have appropriated That One Word That Begins With The Letter N for themselves as a term of endearment, gays use That One Word That Begins With The Letter F as a term of endearment, and as a mayo cracker honky i call other white people mayos and crackers and honkies. i think its a general sociolinguistic pattern that people take pejoratives for their identities and adopt them as endearing. i dont think its brainrot, to me it seems like a sign of self awareness and humility, which zoomers desperately need. but dont worry about it too much and just enjoy the friendship you have :D
>>42375452I'm pretty sure when it's black people with the n word or fags saying fag they don't forget what it's supposed to mean though, forgetting it to the point I didn't think anything about my cis friend saying it seems really silly
