Is "mudblood" considered a slur?
I know it wasn't a very nice thing to say to a witch/wizard, but is it on the level of a slur against them?

[Cryerborg]

It's only a slur if said by someone who is "pure" blood. Reasonable people call it the M-word, and respectfully understand that it is muggleborns' word to use.

Is it a human?

[Super Arthritis ⁧⁧ ⁧⁧Man]

Yes.

[Akemua]

Well... Yes, it is. The word exists to imply those not of wizarding blood are not only unworthy of magic, but lesser than those that do have pureblood.

Also that they have mud for blood.

Pretty sure there's a fundamental difference. When people are called woke, it's because the stuff their campaigning for tends to have political implications that usually involve injecting, pandering, etc, put into a product we consume.


Mudblood is more the equivalent of the N-word for muggles or whatever pejorative term involving ones birth and race.

It's a stupid slur idiots use. Considering the most powerful wizards inn the lore have either been half breeds or mud bloods. While the weaklings and the underlings of the main bad guys have been purebloods.

Kind of the irony Rowling was going for in the first place. Akhtually, it's even more ironic seeing as Voldemort is half-blood and hated them and muggleborns.

Also... The most powerful wizards were a mix. LOTSSSS of them were purebloods. Dumbledore, the Hogwarts founders, etc, etc were all purebloods.

I wanted to be a mudblood 11 yr old. But no, they made me an ancient blooded teen that can wingardium-barrel-to-your-face before even learning wingardium leviosa.

Shame really xD

Theory

It's similar to Star Wars Darth Vader vs obi wan, Vader had greater forced but Obi use wisdom and max out skilled, and Obi won every battle vs Vader (in old movie, Obi is gone before Vader strike, and Obi told Vader he is become much powerful than Vader thought, become force ghost, some people think Vader kill Obi but I watched careful in old film, Vader didn't kill Obi, Obi is simple just gone before Vader strike him and got confused, step on his rode on ground so vador didn't win even last battle, now some people think or believe Vader winning due Obi lose and got killed but not so, his body is simple gone and become forced ghost before Vader strike him)
, I guess, Pureblood had more magic but not use to max out, while thosee weaker magic had to work harder and more skill to get most of it while pureblood is little lazy and not max out use magic,

If pureblood core magic with max out skilled and forced, always powerful more than half blood/mudblood with max out skill with forced, but pureblood common lazy while half blood/mudblood is more common work harder and had more skill in general.

So I think pureblood had more magic but may not use skill to max out like half blood/mudblood who work harder and get most of it.
