the most interesting thing about this is the fact that “removed” is blurred out, but not “gay ass queer”. times have changed and i feel so fucking old.
e: til you can’t say it on lemmy.
Gay ass queer isn’t really a slur, it’s just dumb. The other word obviously is one.
What if Drath’nor is a reanimated Ent or some sort of wooden gollum?
You can find the list of banned slurs on your server here: https://lemmy.world/api/v3/site
Navigate to site_view -> local_site -> slur_filter_regex
I see five slurs and a bunch of usernames in there. Maybe as a method of spam protection? I don’t get it, really.
do they take a request? they’re missing at least one…
Contact your server admins, I’m sure they’ll add slurs if you ask
that’s a good suggestion. thanks
You’ve brought up a real interesting and nuanced point, which is “what’s the difference between an insult and a slur, and when does one become the other?” And a lot of it’s just down to “whether the target of said insult/slur feels it’s so offensive as to actually cause harm or be a predictor of causing harm,” I think.
In the cases you’ve pointed out,
redactedis still very much a slur, whereas “queer” definitely used to be and is now going through a sort of reclamation phase, so whether someone considers it a slur or not really kind of depends on their own history with it. “Queer” is definitely a word with an actively evolving meaning and legacy*, I think, and since we’re in the middle of it I’m not sure whether it will end up fully reclaimed or the pendulum will swing the other way eventually.*all words are actively evolving like this but it’s much quicker with insults and slurs because of the emotion involved
Anyway, back to the subject of Drath’nor the Anus Destroyer.

You’re a Slaanesh worshipper, we get it.
Damn I forgot about Kik. I wonder if it’s still used
That and Snapchat were the quintessential random hookup apps.
Blood of a thousand innocent ani
Isn’t “of a thousand anus” a dative construct, so the plural should be “anis”?
Afaik you don’t declinate loanwords beyond the plural, but you’d have to ask Merriam Webster for that.
Fun little tidbit: the word “loanword” itself is a sub-type of a loanword, a calque, which is a word-by-word translation from a word in a different language. It was brought to English from the German “Lehnwort”.
🤯
Loans generally follow the grammar of the host language. English has a plural, it doesn’t have a dative.
Well, a dative marked by morphology, that is, outside of “him/her/whom”, instead it’s done by word order. Take “The smith gave the miller the hammer”, “the miller” is dative, “the hammer” is accusative, you can’t say “The smith gave the hammer the miller”.
Also “of a thousand ani” is genitive, marking of that is done with “of” or “'s”.
As to plural form: English has a gazillion of those: Caboose, cabeese (yay Ablaut!), box, boxen, etc. Some Latin doesn’t hurt.
Then the correct plural is “anorum” in this case.
I was told men wanted to be hit on out of no where. This is just confusing me now.
Wait so I’ve been asking “would you like to get some coffee” to women to “hit on” them, have I been doing it wrong? Should I have been forcing unwanted sexual roleplay on them this whole time?
it sure seemed to work for the recipient on the left.
I mean if sneaking up on people with your dick out is ‘hitting on’ people the sign me up
are you short enough to walk under a stallion?
The best thing about lemmy is that it brings back things like this that I often thought about and really wanted to find again to be able to fill the gaps in my memory, but couldn’t remember enough about it to be able to find on Google.
Its not the first time it happens to me. Anyway, thanks op. I had given up hope on finding this one again.
This is what Reddit used to do for me. The weirdest thing Reddit ever did was give me the name of an insect that for years I tried to Google when I would see it and I have legitimately only ever seen the bug 3 times in my 28 years of life. They are so small, so infrequent, and so rare that I thought for years I wasn’t even seeing an I sect but just a fuzz from a dandelion once it changes.
I mean for actual fucking years I could not find the regular name, the slang name (usually changes based on dialect, or even the scientific name. The amount of times I searched for “white fuzzy bug” or “white floating bug.” No matter the combination. I even would tell people, “I remember seeing this bug and I have seen it so rarely I don’t even know if it is real.” And most of my friends would say, “yeah never seen it.” And then that one friend would say, “dude me too.” And then one fucking day I open Reddit and God dammit if I didn’t believe it someone gave me the name. Actual years of feeling insane and thinking those little fuckers were a sign of something higher because of how fragile and cute they are and Reddit not only gives me the name, confirms I am sane but enlightens me on the little bastards they actually are.
I am from West Virginia and if you made it this far well by God if you have seen one then I swear on mother nature you aren’t insane and we are in this together.
EDIT: A better site and image
What a horrendous website to visit after such a wholesome story.
Fixed:
I edited the site. It’s not a ton better but it’s readable.
Why is faggot censored?
Because it breaks Rule 1
Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.
What about all the other bad words…
A little bit of cultural linguistics going on really. Even though the texts are also calling OOP gay and queer, and doing so with the same amount of vitriol as with the f-slur, they aren’t recognized as emotionally charged in the same way. All the other cursing is not hate speech per se as it’s not directly targeting any immutable characteristics.
This is a civilized society. We have rules you know
I’m not happy with any of the depicted harassment in the image (fake or not), it just not that funny. If you want to see what happens if you have a descenting opinion though, you can see my massively downvoted post below.
you can see my massively downvoted post
Is it doubling in size?
OP isn’t using it. He’s quoting someone else using it.
Then it breaks Rule 5:
No content that harasses members within or outside of the community.
That’s ridiculous, quoting harassment is in no way itself harassment. That would undo just about every awareness campaign ever.
Depends on the reason for the quote. Awareness campaigns quote them as examples of what not to do. There is a clear intention to tell the audience “Watch out for this, avoid it, this is wrong.”
The punchline in this example is an encouragement to harass people because it’s funny.
I don’t buy into the concept of hate speech.
I’m curious, what exactly does this mean? Wdym by hate speech, and are you saying it doesn’t exist?
While I always advocate for starving trolls, sometimes feeding them yields hilarious results.

Off topic but for some reason out of nowhere ass reminds me of noodles.
Wait, is the punch line just “sexual harassment is funny”? I must be missing something. The guy said he didn’t like the attention and green straight up continues with " … said the stable boy." rather than apologising, or dropping it.
This is straight up verbal sexual harassment. 🤔Why is this being upvoted? 🥴 Even if it’s fake, the joke is still “Isn’t it funny that the guy said stop, but he didn’t stop?! lol.”
It breaks Rule 5:
No content that harasses members within or outside of the community.
Edit: To the downvoters: 🤣
Edit 2 Electric Boogaloo: 😗
I’ll be monitoring further responses and then blocking this community. Thanks for helping me filter out toxic communities on Lemmy.
I thought this was Lemmy Shitpost, not Lemmy’s shitstain. 💩
Edit 3: I love that I call out sexual harassment and I’m met with sexual harassment by users in this community. Hmmm, it’s almost like this type of content encourages certain behaviours. Ain’t that interesting?
So long and thanks for all the fish ☮
…screamed the stable boy.
Now we have actual written sexual harassment documented in this thread. 🤡
Rules 1 and 5 are being openly broken. Thanks for showing me the dregs of this community.
Lighten up Francis.
Mate, I’m lighter than a kite. Any apparent anger in my posts is due to your projection.
You need to chill, man.
Lmao, shit-tier trolling
>>>tumblr
>>>Edgy 🤣
I think i recognize some context you’re missing.
I feel like this is in response to an unsolicited ERP request from the left chatter, making it essentially proportionate.
Now I can’t be certain but that is a common thing I’ve seen people do so it feels likely.
Bro he called him “faggot”. This was not a one way street
So your agreeing with me that there was sexual harassment, and then there was more sexual harassment?
Thank you for proving my point even further.
Edit: It’s even worse!
That means this content breaks Rule 1 as well
Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.
So your agreeing with me that there was sexual harassment, and then there was [homophobia]?
