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 10 months ago

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

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

yeah gobbledyg**k isn't a slur

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 10 months ago

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?

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

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