The issue is that it could create this false air that the words are suddenly appropriate in general conversation though this legitimization. And we've lost the 'they aren't words' argument.
We're making them sound okay, and they aren't.
And a real word is a thing is a thing that has stood the test of time, that people find deep meaning and can stand behind. It means what it says, represents it and can be taken seriously. And it's not something confined to a specific atmosphere or location. You can speak English to my face in America, and if we go to England we'll still be speaking it. You can read it in a newspaper, essay or book. It's part of your cultural identity.
We have the start of the next generation rising up behind us, and this is the culture they'll be growing up with.
nigga what the fuck is a "real word"? Half the words we use nowadays are slang that became standard lingo. You think that the English you speak now is anything remotely close to the English people spoke 100 years ago? No, it's the evolution of language, and if you don't like it then you're obviously the problem because there are so many people in favor that even paid professionals consider these terms part of the vocabulary.
Goddamn, it's this childish "We have the raise the next generation!!" shit, man. No, you
don't have to raise the next generation, you just have to raise your kids, and if other kids are being raised in ways you don't like, then join the grown up circle and drink bitterly instead of trying to talk down.
If you think that this is literally all there is to modern culture, you're really lazy.
