How do you manage to fit two slurs in a comment about a silly map
comes with being a lemm.ee user
Is gee double oh kay a slur? I dunno what it means but I'm pretty sure this is a scunthorpe moment
Just checked, "g**k" seems to actually be a derogatory term for people of East/Southeast Asian descent. This one's a Scunthorpe moment for sure, since the etymology of the word seems to be unrelated to that term.
The other one is not though, it's the r-slur.
Imma start saying gobbledyr*t^rd and you won’t know the difference.
Federated users from instances with weaker slur filters will though, and be quite confused
That would be funny tho, not that I say gobbledyremoved regularly
yeah gobbledyg**k isn't a slur
Lol I was wondering what the first removed was. Is there a way to check?
The post text is not actually edited, so you can view it on an instance like lemm.ee with a weaker slur filter.
I didn't know that the slur filter is instance-based. I'm not gonna make a lemmee account but is there a way to check what's on our own filter?
I don't have access to our slur filter; you'd have to ask the admins for that
Well yes, google definition says it's an insult
spoiler
Oh. I hope the gibberish synonym isn't related
It's not. Its etymology is supposed to be from turkey sounds.
