along with the strong censoring that has occurred on reddit throughout the years, they have now removed r/all from the app and while using a desktop/laptop browser. instead of being able to stumble upon new subreddits you never knew existed, it wants to curate what you’re allowed to see
Oh, you’re mad that you can’t use a slur? That’s like, the powertripping? People leave reddit because of chuds like you hombre.
Language is an evolving, organic tool, and attempting to police it usually says more about the person doing the policing than the person speaking. When we start labeling certain verbiage as “correct” or “incorrect,” we aren’t actually protecting the language; we are just enforcing a personal or social preference.
Communication is about the transmission of ideas. If the message was received, the language did its job. Whether it was delivered with a academic precision or through “crass” slang is irrelevant to its functional success. Demanding that everyone adhere to a specific aesthetic or moral standard of speech is just a subtle way of trying to control how others express their reality. If you make certain words the enemy, you’re essentially arguing for a narrow, sterilized version of expression that leaves no room for the raw or the unconventional. It’s better to engage with the actual argument being made rather than retreating into the safety of tone policing.
Cool, could you say the n-word for all of us? To prove your “point.”
It’s not a slur. You are overly sensitive. You are the problem
Bigoted man believes others are sensitive because he can’t decide what is and is not a slur for everyone else. Beautiful.
Did you just assume my gender identity?
Deduced it. Don’t be sensitive.
I wish Tumblr was still around so you could go back to it
Tumblr and Vine need to come back, so all the imbeciles can fuck back off to the containment sites.
