@snacks it can be used in a "derogatory" way if you see it like that, but it's just memes and jokes among friends

"you are gay"
"that's so gay"

etc

@fiore depends on context ig
> When used with a derisive attitude the word gay is pejorative. Though retaining other meanings, its use among young people as a term of disparagement is common; 97 percent of American LGBTQ middle and high school students reported hearing its negative use as of 2021.

@fiore @snacks people in the 00s used it as lang for bad but it’s so stupid no one cares. Like sometimes I see rightoids try and insult ppl online by posting an anime girl captioned “why are you a stupid faggot?” and it makes me laugh because that’s kinda shit my trans coworker sends to me if I wear a crop top to work.
