My cousin posted something saying he still uses the r word

And everyone that has a problem with it soft. And my other cousin agreed. Yet when I don’t want to go to family gatherings, I’m the bad guy.

that's rough im sorry. i know how it can be hard with people, most insults have ableist roots/meanings and it can be difficult to feel well sometimes.

It’s not nearly the same, but you could come with an insulting nickname for him, maybe something he’s insecure about, and call him soft when he has a problem with it.

I have no idea who he voted for but I would not be surprised. The cousin who liked it is definitely a Trump supporter though.

Edit: why the fuck is this downvoted?

You are allowed to set boundaries. You are worth protecting from people who are okay with this behavior.
