the downvotes are saddening. it IS a slur and i don’t see a problem in censoring slurs.
on the other hand, i wouldn’t censor words like “fuck” since it’s a versatile expletive and there’s no inherent hatred.

Ya, some people really don’t see an issue and that in of itself is an issue.

Where do you think we are? We’re in a 4chan screenshot community.
That’s like being mad that you saw poop in a scat fetish forum.

So hate is ok depending on where you are?

You are not the one saying it, so you dont have to feel bad for posting it.
Its like showing a picture of a nazi with swastika tattoos. You want to show people what a piece of shit they are, so you wouldnt censor that.
Its like preserving historical texts but removing anything you find offensive, there is no point in doing that.

If you do insist get offended by things other people say we’re never going to get anywhere. It’s not an okay thing to say but you’re not the one saying it so it’s fine.
It’s only offensive to say it to someone, not offensive to acknowledge the word exists and is said by other people. Otherwise the news couldn’t report on offensive things people did.
What needs to happen here is an injection of maturity into the conversation. You took effort to censor something that didn’t need to be censored and are now arguing about it even though people are telling you it doesn’t need to be censored.

I didn’t censor anything. I am not the op and point of fact it would be censored on the news. And I’m so glad that you, the Arbiter of all things right and wrong and good and moral in the world, can sit here and tell me what does in fact need to be censored and when.

Still have to follow the instance rules.

The sidebar literally has no rules in it except to say that if you are offended by things that are posted here you are the one that’s a problem.

This is one of sh.It just.works rules, not this specific community itself
