mogai, alterhumanity, and slurs.
i’ve seen a lot of people within mogai, alterhuman, and similar communities be very casual with their usage of the word “mutt” and i understand this is likely due to ignorance on the fact that it is in fact a racial slur.
how is it a slur? when used to refer specifically to humans or those in human bodies, it is used derogatorily specifically towards mixed race individuals. while yes it refers to a dog or any animal that is mixed breed i’m sure you can understand why it is offensive and a slur when used towards humans. it is dehumanizing and degrading mixed people, calling us animals.
i do not care if you are alterhuman or other kin or otherwise don’t identify as a human, including physically, i kindly ask you to please stop referring to yourself as a mutt; including names, pronouns, titles, what have you. unless you are a mixed race individual you cannot and should not be attempting to reclaim it or use it to refer to yourself.
i really wish this causal racism and normalization of a racial slur wasn’t so widespread and prevalent in these communities, that people were more knowledgeable on the fact it is a slur. please educate yourselves more, i understand not everyone may know it is a slur but upon learning so please do your own research and stop using it unless your mixed race- and even then understand other individuals may not be comfortable calling you a mutt.
tldr: mutt is a racial slur against mixed race individuals. unless you are bodily mixed race do not use it as names, pronouns, titles, etc etc any way to describe yourself. it is not for alter humans/non human individuals as a whole to reclaim, only to those bodily mixed race. please educate yourselves.
