Hey everyone. Here’s a friendly reminder to be mindful of our rules. Particularly rule 1:
- Be Respectful
Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.
Refrain from being argumentative when responding or commenting to posts/replies. Personal attacks are not welcome here.
We deal with enough hate and vitriol in real life. It will not be tolerated here as well. Please report any offending comments and we’ll nip it in the bud as soon as we can.
Let’s keep this as a friendly little community where we can make stupid, stupid jokes.
You must log in or register to comment.
Well shit! So no fucking around anymore? What about Australians? Are they still allowed to go “cunt” this and “cunt” that? I think it’s part of their cultural identity and forcing them to stop might harm them on an emotional level.
And what about the Polish? Or was it Poles? I forget. Anyway, “kurwa bobr” is an international sensation. We cannot censor it without it being called abuse and attracting a different kind of "kurwa"s posts.
Insults that are part of one’s cultural identity should be protected. And as such, I propose that the mod team should sacrifice a small amount of time in their day to learn culturally appropriate swear words from languages across the globe and share them with the rest of the users so that we may all know the socially acceptable way of insulting one another in a polite and friendly fashion.
A pleasant non-fucking day to you all. (They say abstinence makes the heart grow fond)
Oi, cunt! You’re a proper fucker, aren’t ya?
Give us a bit of credit, please. We can tell when insulting words are being used with respect. Context is key here.
That being said, there’s been a significant rise in hateful sentiment, so I figured a proactive endeavor might be worthwhile.
That being said, if you have feedback on how mods should operate, you’re welcome to join us! Come, be a mod! It pays absolutely nothing and is completely thankless. It’ll be fun!
race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.
🎵 One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong, 🎶It’s Jaden because he sucks at card games.
Fuck card noob Jaden, am I right
Curious which one you mean? Race you are born with but is culturally defined. Gender is culturally defined. Sexuality is self reflective, natural and culturally molded, disability is sometimes born sometimes developed naturally or unnaturally, and religion is cultural beliefs.
So I’ll jump off a cliff here and say.
Inherit/Opinion, Opinion, Inherit, Dice Roll, Opinion
So is it Sexuality or Disability?
You know exactly which one it is. Don’t necro-post to an 8-month-old thread just to play stupid.
Edit: Fine, maybe you weren’t disrespectfully sealioning and genuinely didn’t understand which one I meant was different. I will “be nice” and explain it explicitly: it’s religion. Religion is the one that’s different, because it is the only one that’s a choice.
To claim that genetic traits are a matter of “opinion” because they are “culturally defined” is to ignore whose opinion it is. You are failing to make a distinction between a person forming an opinion about themselves vs. having others’ opinions imposed upon them due to traits they can’t change.
Be nice. And in regards to your earlier comment I missed 9 months ago: there is no relevant distinction to me. Don’t denigrate anyone based on any of them. This isn’t really up for discussion.
Just to be clear, you’re enforcing that we must “respect” the choice to engage in willful delusion in the same way we must legitimately respect traits caused by unchangeable genetics?
That’s one hell of a bad faith question. This is rules to a shitpost community, chill out and if you actually have a question ask it in a genuine way lol.
I wasn’t "necro-post"ing. It for some reason came up to the top of my Jerboa app, not sure why. I was really confused when you said 8 months old thread haha.
Edit: ah I figured out why. It’s pinned to the top of the Shit posting sub. I must have clicked on that sub and since I am sorted by hot by default, assumed it a new post
ok :( literally 1984 or something.
