Why censor 4-Chan bad language in a 4-chan community. We can handle reading “normalfag”
It seems to be taken from a platform that scans for bad language in pictures and demonetises/restricts access to these posts.
The image was like this when I saved it. I’m not going to take the time to censor bad words.
I thought that might be the case :) Censored for Reddit
Frankly censoring that word would have been better done by the user who typed itz
Drag doesn’t want to handle it. Drag wants to read greentexts without seeing slurs. Drag can handle it, but doesn’t think drag should.
Americans are fragile snowflakes who cannot handle seeing bad words regardless of context and intention. Their freedom of speech is severely restricted as a result.
“Not using slurs is woke and that’s bad” shut the hell up, loser.
This is not what I said. Using slurs is bad. Censoring slurs when quoting is also bad and useless. Only Americans are afraid of words in such a way.
If people weren’t so bad about seeing shitty things and then repeating them anyway then I’d probably agree with you more. It’s also not a freedom of speech thing since hatespeech(which includes slurs) is not protected in most places and it’s weird of you to bring it up at all.
Quoting hate speech without censoring in order to denounce it is not a bad thing. Here’s an example of the biggest French newspaper having the literal n-word* in the title of an article. They are not being hateful, they are quoting a chant by black protesters who used this word both ironically and in reference to a famous black French poet, to protest racist remarks by a higher-up at LVMH. Absolutely no one was offended by this article, because the newspaper isn’t actually racist ; it’s a quote.
* I’m saying “n-word” instead of the full word, as I don’t want m-words to ban me because they do not understand context.
That’s not at all what’s happening here. It’s completely unrelated to the story and the story wasn’t posted in order to draw attention it the word choice.
You seem to have your own thing going on, you good?
That’s because French are more revolutionary than Americans. Protests and revolutions seems to be their annual holidays.
? Am American and really don’t see where you’re coming from.
Haven’t you heard? Everything bad is because of America
Hmm, weird cope but okay.
I mean I do agree with the first part but that’s not what freedom of speech is in a legal sense
In a literal sense or do you mean in a legal sense?
Legal sense, you’re right. My mistake.
That’s another thing - Americans seem to be convinced that “free speech” is a legal concept and nothing else.
I think it’s pretty funny that someone felt the need to censor “normalfag” but not “sperglord”
Uh… What’s the latter mean?
Sperg is short for Asperger.
Ah, that makes sense, thank you.
At least the latter is more of a self-label. The former is just nonsense for the sake of it, especially when “normie” already exists and is popular.
Everyone on 4chan is some xfag
Honest question, are you familiar with 4chan at all?
It doesn’t really matter, if they want to censor it that shouldn’t bother anyone except the people who’s a halfway well-adjusted member of society.
It’s not some commentary on the death of free speech to opt to censor out a slur, chill.I think you misinterpreted the intent of my comment. I was saying that everyone being some form of fag is a 4chanism, and wondered if the person replied to was familiar with 4chan, because the reason for the term is basically something you can’t have gone on 4chan and not seen.
Oh wait, I was dealing with a different person iver a similar, but distinct, issue. Carry on.
Coo, coo
I always knew you were a flock of pigeons in a trenchcoat!
why not sit with him lol
Because this is fake and obviously gay
You should censor that.
Oh sh!t my bad
I do not know whether that guy sits alone because he likes it that way…or maybe we won’t have anything to talk about and it’ll be awkward…? No use in risking it…
I am working on my mental health but this and much more was absolutely normal thought process I had before. I still have some leftovers. Yuck.
Why did normalfags get censored? Who’s comfortable mining content from 4chan but not seeing the word “fag”?
Companies.
How fucking wild would that be. Corporate bots scraping content off 4chan only to then edit and sanitise it for advertisers before posting it to a 4chan thread
On Lemmy, no less
The other dude:
“Why the fuck is he waving and smiling at me each day? This is awkward? What should I do? Maybe just smile and wave back to make it less awkward.”
Eat with him
We’re censoring green text now?
Think of the children!
What’s normalfalfa?
I think it’s a kind of flat bread.
Made from alfalfa? Do I look like a horse to you??
On the internet nobody knows you are a horse.
I’m the old Norm. I like normalfalfa!
What normiefag is censoring 4chan content on Lemmy, a non-.world instance at that.
I think everyone needs to feel needed sometimes. Helps keep you going when the shit hits the fan.
- “where was the twist?”
- “oh, must be greentextbewholesome or whatever tf it’s called”
- “huh? Wtf??”
this was a wholesome moment.
atleast
\sigh

Maybe if you’d stopped the rant a few words earlier there, you’d have a point
“stop censoring homophobic slurs! They’re not that bad!”
immediately used a racist slur
Like clockwork.
