I can’t even say life’s a bitch over there without being filtered because of misogyny which I guess? But that’s not my intent and I don’t think the majority read it with that connotation. What if I just want to quote a Nas classic?
It gets dumber: last I checked their word filter doesn’t pay any regard to a comment’s set language so even If I set my comment to French “retard” will be filtered on ml communities and to their users regardless of where I comment.
Je suis en retard
Becomes
Je suis en removed
Edit: actually, let’s see if this has been fixed, test French comment in reply to this:
You said two stupid things but only one of them was fun to make a joke out of.
Your french shit is equally stupid. “But it’s not a slur in a language we aren’t speaking right now so I should get to say it!!!”
How about you just stop having a piss fit you spoiled little fuck? Not once in your ‘analysis’ are you bothering to do the literally only valuable piece of thought work: actually measuring the cost/benefit of having a strong deterrence to bigotry vs “I can think of a word that has a slur as part of it but can still be easily understood by people reading it through context clues”
When a piece of shit only weighs the cost of doing things to protect vulnerable minorities and not the benefit to those people, it’s pretty fucking easy to suss out their beliefs on the issue in general.
And here we have a proof of the mindset of the typical neolib whitewing yank. Everybody should speak english, everybody should submit to his perception of what can be said or not, otherwise it’s haram. I’m sure the american retards benefits a lot for your little censorship craps but what about the rest of us? the thin is the idea of non-americans life having value is deeply weird to you people.
The dude takes is fine. Why the shit are you trying to force english on people you fucking colonizer cunt? What gives you the right to impose your linguistic norms to people litterally speaking another language? What, you think everybody should speak the same as you? Retard just mean late. Are you gonna censor the world “delayed” as well, you stupid bitch? You know french have been imposed in half of the world, yes? Heard of colonization? People have suffered from linguistic erasure forever. But you sheltered yank cunt have your head too deep in your bhole to realize your neolib mindset is too deeply rooted into you for you to realize you’re a shitheaded twat.
Did you know that Norway, Sweden, and Denmark all have laws against hate speech, harassment, and discriminatory expressions targeting protected groups. For instance, Norwegian law prohibits public statements that threaten or insult someone, or promote hatred based on factors like ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. At the same time they consistently top indices like the Reporters Without Borders’ World Press Freedom index. I’m not saying that your comment is threatening or anything, but it doesn’t seem very important to me to protect the right of someone to use a crude derogatory like “tankie” (a word with parallels to terms like “pinko” and “judeo Bolshevik”).
In reality, the pervasiveness of derogatories like that limit free speech. Of course, this goes the same for calling everyone one disagrees with a lib or fascist as well.
Thank you, that’s true but doesn’t catch the nuance of my argument. It doesn’t need to be hate speech to have a chilling effect on public debate. Name-calling instead of actual political discourse, for instance.
I’ve been called many things but liberal or fascist are seldom among them. I do observe comrades who use those terms very lightly and in uncomeradely fashion though.
“Free speech!”
Ok tankie.
“Not like that!”
Or more subtly:

Edit2: lmao
I’ve tried to talk about fire retardants there once… It gets cut too.
Je suis en retard
oh no I’m not allowed to use a slur even though I’m using it in a common phrase that originates as the slur being used as a slur
I’m supposed to get away with doing things
Did you only read half of my comment?
What about the French example?
You said two stupid things but only one of them was fun to make a joke out of.
Your french shit is equally stupid. “But it’s not a slur in a language we aren’t speaking right now so I should get to say it!!!”

I think maybe you need to take some deep breaths.
I’m not upset even though this entire conversation is about me having a fit about not being allowed to say slurs
You are upset because you’re making fun of me for it and explaining why it’s bad
I am a nazi from 4chan
…what?
You realize it’s a normal word in French right?
And here we have a proof of the mindset of the typical neolib whitewing yank.

Except nobody use it as an insult in french. Why tf are a bunch of yank telling me how to use my fucking language. Englocentrist much?
Dudes takes are so bad even he doesn’t want to upvote them lol:

You realize my point was when speaking French I should be able to use it as it’s a different word that’s just spelled the same as the English slur.
That was the whole point in making my test comment it’s own reply.

Permitting hate speech limits free speech by making the space unsafe for marginalized voices.
What are you saying that causes people to call you a liberal or a fascist?
