What is or isn’t a slur can be highly contextual, y'all.
“Jonny Sims bummed a fag off my ma” doesn’t contain a slur, but “What are you, some kind of fag?” does.
“Queer studies”, “the queer community” and “I’m queer”? Not a slur. Some bigot calling you a “dirty queer”? Slur.
“Be gay, do crimes” and “He’s gay” ≠ slur, but “Ew, that’s so gay” = slur.
In conclusion, stop buying into this fucking “q slur” bullshit. Queer people talking about the queer community aren’t using it as a slur any more than a gay man calling himself gay is using that term as a slur.
This has made my day, thank you

ABSOLUTELY
I WANT DARKIPLIER TO BE SCARY AND DISGUSTING AND MONSTEROUS
I WANT THEM TO HAVE MULTIPLE LIMBS AND MULTIPLE EYES AND JUST A CREATURE YOU DONT WANNA LOOK AT BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU JUST CANT STOP LOOKING AT IT
like seriously it would be so fucking fun to see Dark as something scary because Mark can make amazing horror stuff and Dark has the protentional to be a nightmare icon.
Please, and I can not stress enough, p l e a s e, I hate it when they’re like “Oh gn!reader” and it ends up being fem, or it doesn’t say at all. I have a specific disliking for fem!reader because of it
i keep seeing things in fics that imply that the reader is female, despite the fact that it’s labeled as gender neutral. with that said, here’s a list of those things so you can be aware of them :)
be sure you’re making it gender neutral, not male or female. say ‘they’ instead of ‘he/she’, or ‘partner’ instead of ‘boy/girlfriend’. otherwise, you’re only inclusive to people who use he/him or she/her pronouns.
(side note: i use he/they, but it still makes me uncomfortable to read the ‘she’ right beside the ‘he’)
there’s a difference between afab and fem reader; afab means assigned female at birth, implying that the reader may not identify as a girl anymore but they have female anatomy (like in pregnancy fics, etc). if you have a female reader, label it fem!reader, not afab. you aren’t technically incorrect, but it’s misleading.
similarly, s/o is a neutral term and implies that the reader doesn’t have a specified gender. it’s okay to put fem!s/o, but a female reader is not the default if the gender isn’t specified
that also means that if it’s afab/amab, everything has to be gender neutral, not just the pronouns. don’t call the reader a woman or something, call it gender neutral because the pronouns are they/them, and then excuse it by saying that the reader is afab.
in jealousy fics or ones similar to them, the words “other girls” sometimes come up. the use of “other” implies that the reader is a girl as well — this can be substituted for “someone else” or “other people”.
don’t specify that the reader is wearing makeup, a skirt, etc. of course, you can wear these whether or not you’re a girl, but dysphoria comes in different ways and (for me, at least) things that are typically feminine can sometimes be a source. you can still do it, but mention it beforehand just to be safe :)
also be mindful of places that would be separated by gender. a masc-aligned reader wouldn’t go to a separate public restroom than a male character, so try to find a different scene if you can.
the slang or whatever has to be neutral too. some people say gendered terms as a joke without meaning anything by it, but it still matters — don’t have anyone refer to the reader as bro, girlie, girl, etc.
generally speaking, you shouldn’t specify anything about the reader’s body. however, don’t mention the reader as petite and small. while height and build don’t determine your gender or sex, those things are usually aligned with females and can be a source of dysphoria
i feel like this goes without saying, but double check pet names. “doll” is technically neutral, but some people can see it as feminine. i’ve also seen people have characters refer to the reader as obvious ones like “princess”, which i don’t think that i have to explain
english is not a gendered language, but english sometimes takes words from gendered languages, so be aware of those (i.e. fiancé and fiancée).
if you’re comparing the reader to something, make sure that thing is gender neutral. i sometimes see the reader referred to as a mom friend, please don’t do that. say parent or something of that nature.
again, i feel like this goes without saying, but i’ve seen people mention before that they write with she/her pronouns and then edit or word replace the pronouns to they/them. please don’t do that, it’s easy to make mistakes or forget to change the pronouns like that (and the grammar is incorrect that way)
this doesn’t really count i suppose? but i’ve seen this before so i wanted to mention it here. if when you’re doing your character list you have them all laid out separately, don’t make all of them gender neutral and then hide a f!reader in the middle. it’s very easy to overlook — make that one bold, put it at the very beginning, or put it in the notes at the top
This is my personal favorite
