I have a 3 day ban over on Reddit for saying (n word, then homophobic f word). I wasn’t implying anyone was inferior. Reddit lacks a rule expressly saying I can’t use slurs in any context, although they have racism and homophobia banned. Was I being racist and homophobic just by mentioning the word?
Here is the context: I said on /r/monkeyspaw: "Granted. Your username is now “/u/nf.” uncensored. In response to
“I wish I was able to change my username on reddit.”
Hmmm. Gonna go out on a limb with this one and say they can be dropped when pointing out the absolute nastiness of bigots.
I’ve been known to shock-drop the n-bomb when snidely retorting “Yaah, he (the relative and his friends) is incapable of seeing black folks as anything other than shiftless, lazy ni–ers…” which made everyone in the room stop and the person I was talking about STFU, because I said the honest part out loud that the entire family had heard often enough, but didin’t have the courage to challenge.
Needless to say, I don’t hang with that side of the family much anymore, and esp. not since relative in question was vaccinated with “the blood of Jesus” during Covid and caught it and died.
Oh well.
Nope, still doesn’t need to be said. Absolutely zero reason
That is one opinion. You are welcome to it.
It’s the only that matters. Anyone who uses that word is a bigot, and that’s a fact, not an opinion.
That is also your opinion.
Nope, facts only. Thanks for letting everyone know you’re a racist sack of shit though.
LOL! You win the internet kid.
Don’t you feel special?
I always feel special because I’m not a racist sack of shit
Hmmm. I’d say you swing more to the judgemental prick side of things. Just like that relative who dropped ugly language. It’s all shades of the same thing. But that’s okay… you do you, because you’re special.
