In this video, I drop an n-bomb. Billig one; hard ‘R’. I did this to show my interlocutors that their language doesn’t impress me, that their slurs don’t frighten or disarm me. You can see from their reactions that it worked - they were clearly taken aback. It was a power move which I am entirely unashamed of, but I understand how that language might have upset some of you.

This is an example of what I would call an ‘invocation of a slur’s power for good’, but that’s a subjective judgement. I invite you all to discuss this in the comments, critically or otherwise!
