"If you would like to appeal.."
I have no intention of appealing, but please be advised that if my post is not restored poste haste, I shall be suing you in 2 State courts and in the Federal District within 48 hours. Good day sir.
You'll actually get banned if you don't use the word cracker
is this heaven have i died & gone to poster’s valhalla
We're all for offending the Saltine-Americans, the Britscuits, Gernaans and the Gaulic Breads
If you can help come up with a bread-based insult for Aussies, I will welcome it
Yes, crackers are not a protected class here.
thank fuck
Common Hexbear win
I couldn't care less if you call a white person a cracker. It rolls off a white person like any other insult because unlike actual racism it has none of the weight and history of systemic oppression and cultural destruction behind it.
No white person has ever felt harmed by the word cracker. Which is precisely why it is not racist. The only "harm" they see in the word is using it to tut tut at POC, which is itself racist.
cringe origin story
i'm not gonna lie i used to get mad when i got called a cracker as a little kid because i'm mixed race but really light skinned. i felt like i was having my admittedly small (1/4) black heritage denied and lumped in with the WASPy oppressors even though the euro side of my family was immigrants from potato land anyway. now idgaf but woo wee that shit used to get me shaking when i was like 10 at the bus stop
I feel like that's sort of fair in a way? It's like having your actual heritage denied.
yeah, i reckon this is the only time you can be offended by being called a cracker - because you're not one and you're having your actual identity denied
You can't say that here because the Maoist Standard Dictionary clearly says it's spelled KKKraKKKer
I thought calling out 
was mandatory here
idk I’m new. very encouraging if so
lmao, big surprise the site with the racism slider thinks cracker is a slur
wtf is a racism slider?
the "show content from hate groups" setting
they probably mean leftists. leftists are the real racists.
There was a whole thing over there yesterday and this morning about an account whose name was literally the n-word hard r. This wasn't someone circumventing a filter or anything, just straight up the word.
So yeah apparently cracker is worse than the n word.
My friend who uses Bluesky says the "racism slider" is actually an opt in for seeing news about hate groups and not because hate groups are allowed on the site. Apparently. Idk.
oh that makes more sense i guess
I refuse to sign up for corporate social media unless they let me say cracker
this is an entirely valid indicator for whether a website has a competent trust & safety team tbh
Hey King. You can say "Cracker" all you want on Threads. I don't mind.
Emperor Leto II casting looking good.
you will never convince me he isn't wearing a human suit
