Abstract Against content theories of slurs, according to which slurs have some kind derogatory content, Anderson and Lepore objected that they cannot explain even under quotation can cause offense. If had the argument goes, would render this inert and, thus, quoted should not be offensive. Following this, propose are offensive because prohibited words. In paper, we will show that, pace Lepore, do provide an explanation fact offense: quotation, a slur still psychologically efficacious. We go one step further by pointing out offensiveness is only function but also used create reinforce negative attitudes towards target group. While easily referring Lepore’s prohibitionism lack satisfactory second slurs. Concluding, argue unlike uses normally derogate This again speak in favor theories. Accordingly, renders inert. Hence, rather than speaking against theories, their favor.

We prese...
