I've only ever heard that used about people, as a slur.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a slur when used in regards to people specificallybecause it's referring to people using language normally meant for animals

Yeah, that's fair, but what I mean is that at some point the slur just takes over. When you hear the B word you no longer think about a female dog. Westerners usually don't think Buddhism when we see swastikas either.
