    Or more subtly:

    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:

      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

            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.

            Imagine being such a piece of shit “not saying slurs” triggers you to the point of taking screenshots to argue it’s a bad take

            truly living up to the ‘gamer man’ username.

            The only people who have a problem with .ml are objectively garbage people. What a thread.

        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!!!”

          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.

            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?

                  Why do you think you’re making a valid point? It’s an english slur filter for an english forum. You just want to say slurs and feel clever for finding a loophole.
