Are words like 'stupid' and 'crazy' considered slurs here
No?? Can't think of any context in which they would be
That's good
I was on Raddle and they treat those words like they're equivalent to the r-slur, so it's good to have a Reddit alternative with at least a shred of sanity
redditor?
shhhh you can't say r*dditor here
ok you damn r$$$itor (;
With a hard R
Lmao i thought I was the only one that remembered Raddle
There are some communities that consider them to be slurs against neurodivergent people. There's definitely an argument to be made there but at the same time they're so commonly used to refer to neurotypical people as well that it's also easy to argue that they don't do enough harm to be considered slurs.
bruh idiot hasn't been a slur since the 1800s what are those mods from fucking bloodborne or smth
Methinks perchance they've been imbibing the 40-rod.
????
Translation: "I believe they may have been drinking heavily."
Ah. No, actually. I don't drink.
They were referring to the mods from bloodborne
I'm fucking stupid
"Meow"
well you could follow the rule "if it's reported or someone comments that they're offended by a slur like retard, remove it". Or would that be too little moderation in your opinion?
punk-ass bitch? sexy fuccboi? plant? bratwurst? nword when used by a PoC? Any of those?
Well I only know what some of those mean, but pretty much any normal swear is allowed, including bitch as long as it's not being used in a derogatory sense towards women. The n-word is blanket banned not because I have any problem with black people using it, but rather because I don't have any way of verifying that the people using it are actually black. Same goes for other slurs that have been reclaimed.
