Not sure if this is the right place, but I’ve seen this for the 3rd removed now.

Literally couldn’t use the word in the title … got a red pop-up that said “slur”.

It’s the 3rd word (singular) in the famous newspaper from New York …

UPDATE: seems to be an issue with ani.social, thanks for all the feedback!

    Your instance is ani.social and “ti-me” (ちめ) can mean bloodshot eyes or fatal error, and might be slang for a pejorative in Japanese or something that sounds close to an actual slur.

    Still a stupid reason to censor the English word time on an English community, but that’s the best reason I can think for why it got zapped by a censor bot.

      Okay that’s pretty ridiculous though.

      But also kind of funny. They should pick a new common word to ban every day until it’s just remove remove remove.

      Which is funny because there are multiple anime with “time” in their title. So I wonder how that’s going to look.
