Censoring the word retarded like this, is retarded
Looks like lemmy.ml censors it.
Well that's removed
Are they showing off? Or ... Why are they posting that?
typical lemmy.ml L
Of course they censored it. Can't stand being reminded why they're tankies.
I get that some instances censor certain words, but would that also affect posts that are simply images that happen to show letters?
No, it's not very sophisticated. Which is why it's a stupid idea.
I enjoy that they didn't need to send to the word fucking but we can't have the bad R word.
If it's your home instance, it could be against community rules to post images with those words.
OP isn't from .ml though, so that wouldn't matter
Seems very english-centered... are there no french speakers on lemmy ml?
Si je parle du retard qu'a eu mon train, je suis censuré ?
It's the same way with removed on lemmy.world
This is hilarious, thanks for sharing lol
Sounds like something a retard would say.
Only if you were retarded
What is the censored word?
Retard
Damn he didn't know no need to call him a retard. ;)
Probably not dicks.
From the looks of the last 3 letters it ends in ard, and has three letters before those.
Canard
quack
Petard
Yeah, ret followed by ard. Just in case you're still having trouble and your instance filters it.
I can't remember his name, but there was an English criminal who pretended to be crazy to get put in a psych hospital, found out it was worse than prison, then had to stay there because the doctors wouldn't believe that it was an act. Maybe a Brit can remember who he is/was.
I'm not sure if you're misremembering or not but I know that there was a case where a journalist successfully managed to get themselves committed so that they could write about the conditions within.
And it took them quite some time to get released because they've done such a good job of pretending to be crazy to get in.
If it's the same one I'm thinking of, once he got out he raised an uproar over it because it was a clear sign people making decisions about who should be free or not in mental institutions weren't as good at it as they claimed to be and they challenged him to send others and they'd catch them this time.
A while later, they said, "See? We caught 3 of your guys!" But they hadn't sent any.
Don't know if it's based on reality but this is the plot of 'One Flew over Cuckoo's Nest'
The removal of the word retard is the biggest transgression in this post and it's retarded.
As someone who grew up being called retarded the censorship of the word retard is retarded.
The censors would go for dick and idiot next, so I'm standing by freedom to retard
It's funny when people censor a 4chan post. The act itself justified the existence.
