Dyke used to be a negative term, but now it’s something being reclaimed. The term was originally use to refer to lesbians in a derogatory way, but now many lesbians and feminists have taken the word back and use it to identify themselves as gay women. I’m pretty sure this happened right around the same time that Ellen came out of the closet, because before that it never seemed to be that cool to be a lesbian. Now, however, it’s extremely popular, and rightly so because Lesbians are awesome, especially the hot ones you see on pornos who let you join them as a stunt cock even though they don’t like men.
Just remember that the word Dyke can still be considered very offensive and rude if it is said by a person who is not a lesbian themselves. If a man says it, it’s considered rude and offensive. If a straight woman says, she’s a homophobic bitch. And if any politician says it, then they’re probably Republican. So, keep it clean folks. No matter how many times your lesbian friend uses the term Dyke, it will NEVER become okay for you to do it too. The same rule applies to all those white teenage rappers. Just because they say it, doesn’t mean you can.
