Avoid these terms in your workplace

Since I am not on Tumblr, I just discovered the existence of Bigfoot's Biggest Fan's "The Slur Song" (2025). It is indeed phenomenally catchy, radio-unsafe, and should clearly be snapped up for the soundtrack of some queer indie film. The antiquity of some of the terms cautioned against by the rhythmically stilted collage of the HR presentation is simultaneously amusing and alarming, especially as the corporate sanitization of the lyrics piles up into erasure rather than protection—who but one queer co-worker in this day and age is going to refer to another as "light in the loafers" or a "Castro clone"? The fact that I played this song several times in a row and then played some Pansy Division suggests that queercore is alive and well and danceable.
