   • 2020 November 15, Lily Orchard, “Simple Writing Tips: a Thread (archived screenshots)”, in Twitter‎:

     The Q-slur as a concept tactily reinforces heteronormativity by casting LGBTA people as inherently "strange." In "No Big Deal" representation, the word should be avoided. Normalizing LGBTA people and the Q-Slur are like oil and water and don't go together.

   • 2019, Aleks Schmidt, The Edge of Sex, →ISBN:

     What had been a reclaimed word with overt political meaning (see ACT UP’s usage) and also deep ties to academia (see “queer theory”) had become “the q slur”.

   • 2019 January 12, Review by user “charlotte,”, “Anger Is a Gift”, in Goodreads‎:

     Another personal quibble I had: the use of the q-slur as a blanket term. So, sure, reclaim it for yourself, but I hate having to read it as a blanket term. It's actually started making me feel sick seeing it so, that wasn't fun when it showed up in this book.

   • (Can we date this quote?), “the rules and guidelines”, in Dirty Pokémon Confessions (Tumblr)‎:

     [C]onfessions with slurs aren’t allowed. [T]his includes the q-slur too just in case.
