I don't however find demeaning words and slurs known to be used against marginalized and oppressed people funny when directed at anyone as an insult, regardless of whether or not I agree with the person they are directed at or not.

Directing such demeaning words and slurs at someone that you disagree with is no better than directing them at the group they are intended to insult.

I find bigotry and hypocrisy ugly and unacceptable regardless of who it is directed toward and do not hesitate to point it out when it is blatant and very obvious.
