Ok now THAT’S a weird one to censor.
Plopp@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah unless that n is the n-word I don’t get the censoring.
MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I censored it because it’s a bad word. A slur against people with disabilities.

What’s the r-word?
deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 5 months ago
“retarded”

Oh. I know it’s not a nice word but didn’t think it was bad enough to include on the same level as the n-word. Times do change I guess

It’s a weird one. “Retard” is a technical term, jargon. It became a perjorative term.
Unlike the n-word that was always a pejorative.

not to mention the casual use of the hard R. even Linus from LTT admitted to have dropped his fair share of hard Rs back then.
