How do you manage to fit two slurs in a comment about a silly map

[-] Catfish@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Federated users from instances with weaker slur filters will though, and be quite confused

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That would be funny tho, not that I say gobbledyremoved regularly

yeah gobbledyg**k isn't a slur

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Lol I was wondering what the first removed was. Is there a way to check?

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The post text is not actually edited, so you can view it on an instance like lemm.ee with a weaker slur filter.

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I don't have access to our slur filter; you'd have to ask the admins for that

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Well yes, google definition says it's an insult

spoiler

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Oh. I hope the gibberish synonym isn't related

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

It's not. Its etymology is supposed to be from turkey sounds.
