Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

As immature as it may sound (while I'd also argue it's just talking down to their level), whenever some aging internet dad says "gay" as a bad thing I say something like "oh no gays bad" which puts them on the defensive right away because it's just shining a light on what they just said.
Sometimes they crawl on their bellies to "it's just slang it's not homophobia" which is fucking rich considering that the slang is definitively about the bad thing being gay. Make them own it and I think over time they'll do it less.
