MODERATORS
It was well intentioned, and I think most people reading his comment in context will probably be OK with it. But I think it's also one of those things that may be linguistically clever and technically not a slur but also just massively unwise. Like referring to a politician known for their spending cuts as "removedrdly". There's just better synonyms out there that aren't going to cause a media shitstorm.
Update, I hadn't realized that would be filtered out here. In any case I'm referring to a synonym of miserly. Just look at the list of synonyms for the obvious problem one.
foiled by the slur filter! good job slur filter
Proud of our strong filter. It's the strongest filter, isn't it?
But I also have no idea what word that was. It feels weird to be thinking so hard about it but "...rdly" just gets me. I have no idea what word could come before that and be a slur
I guess my slur-dar is not very good
N-word, ending with a. I don't think the two words are actually related, but the -rdly form is so archaic it's only used by people who want to say the slur part.
It predates the slur from an unrelated etymology, but it's primary use in the year of our Lord 2024 is to avoid slur filters with """plausible""" deniability. Not that online platforms regularly police these things.
