nonnies, how advisable is it to tell an author "gypped" (apologies to any romani/rromani/roma/etc. nonnies) is a slur? the actual fic is a otherwise pretty forgettable sid/geno no hockey au that i really don't have anything *nice* to say about so i can't even temper it. (also, classic "sid's bootylicious despite not being a hockey player" shit, but that's minor. i'm white with no known romani heritage if that makes a difference.)

I think it's ok to say something but I would use a more educational tone than a reprimanding one since a lot of people just don't know that it's bad and it's a fairly easy fix to change it to a synonym.

I would probably not personally engage because I get anxious about anything that might cause an argument, but I think there are people who are receptive and would want to know they should correct it.

I can't find that word in the fic you linked?

that's because they spelled it "jipped".

I would not leave a comment on their fic for that sole purpose, but if you know their dw or tumblr handle you might pm them.

i went ahead and said "flower and tanger amused me and here's how to get the excedrin migraine active ingredients cheaper, btw could you fix the slur?" which was probably not the best thing ever but so be it. i strongly suspect they didn't know it was one plus this looked like bb's first ao3 posted fic so i would RATHER not have done this in public at all but they did not have anything up in notes or their profile that would have allowed me to contact them privately.

(for interested nonnies: the migraine recipe is one regular-strength generic aspirin, one regular strength 325 mg generic tylenol/acetaminophen, 65 mg of caffeine which is about a coca-cola 20 ounce or a fairly strong cup of coffee.)

thanks to you and the rest of the nonnies in this sub-thread.
