when we want to defend ourselves and not get taken advantage  when we are using it to explain something such as when we are trying to show that these words are offensive

# data[].attributes.body
no. derogatory terms are highly offensive as it is often used for discrimination or social prejudice against people with disabilities or of a different skin tone. These words are commonly used casually and everywhere, while people who use it may not know the emotional damage it can cause to those who take it personally. Although jokes are made with derogatory terms, there is a limit to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes: If the derogatory term is targeted to a friend whose close to you, they will take it as a joke usually.

No: Basically everyone in public will be offended and would not take it well

# data[].attributes.body
We believe that it is acceptable to use derogatory terms in certain situations.
Characterisation of such terms: racial slurs and insults.
Reasons:
1. A way to show friendliness and banter
2. Sometimes someone is too much of a * and you need an equally strong way to show your opinion.
When it is not acceptable:
1. Using it for no good reason(catcalling)
2. utilising these words to incite hate and racism( e.g. on reddit)
3. Suing it to joke with people you dont know well

hui qi: no as it is highly offensive
Valerie: no using these terms are offensive as they bring people down and are meant to cause hurt
austin: no. efforts put into making the society a more inclusive and understanding one will be wasted.
yeow yeong: no. it makes a divisive and toxic environment for all

we shouldnt use the terms even if its meant as a joke

Aaric: It is okay to use degatory terms sometimes an example is, A monkey by definition, is “any mammal of the order Primates, including the guenons, macaques, langurs, and capuchins, but excluding humans" When used on people with different skin tones, it is considered offensive. However calling the animals by their appropriate names is not a slur. It’s even ok to call certain people “monkeys.” After all, small children are often likened by their parents to the person-like beasts, and this affectionate appropriation of the term has been in existence since the 1600s.

no because even if the other person is ok with you saying it, it doesn't give you the right to say it to them because derogatory terms have historical backgrounds to it that could be harmful to the other person

# data[].attributes.body
yes, only if they know we are joking and no feelings are hurt. If feelings are hurt, it was taken as an insult and that's where we have to apologise and take a step back.

# data[].attributes.body
yes because they also say it so they think its fine when someone call them derogatory terms.
no because its not polite people may feel hurt. should not joke about it if you dont know the meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
yes sometimes if you are close to the person and both know each other's limits

# data[].attributes.body
It's not okay to use derogatory terms because it makes people feel disapproved and disrespected. It is very offensive and will make someone insecure and afraid to face society. Derogatory terms are meant to insult others, so even if you use the term sometimes, it will still hurt others even if you didn't mean it.

These terms are used by people nowadays to categorise a certain type of person which is very disrespectful. These terms cannot be used so casually as it might hurt some of the people without you knowing. These terms should not be used only if the person you are saying to allows it as a joke. No one should be insulted unnecessarily just because of their ancestors past. Using derogatory terms is rude and may insult others, thus it should not be used as an insult.

# data[].attributes.body
Okay: The person does not feel offended
Sometimes: Something that's brought up once in a while

Possible Yes Reason:
- As long as there is no harmful tone, it should be fine

Possible No Reasons
- Even if there is no negative intention, the word has harmful meaning regardless.

Overall Stance: No
- The term itself is harmful. While there is no bad intentions, there is a still negative meaning behind the word and it is something that should not be normalised despite the fact that some people are okay with it.

- Even if certain people are okay with it, this would just encourage more usage of derogatory terms.

Define these terms, as informed by your own experience and expectations:
okay: what does it mean to say it's 'okay' [hurtful but acceptable? hurtful but necessary? hurtful but truthful?]

sometimes: what is the circumstance or context? how regularly or irregularly makes 'sometimes'?
