Is b word not allowed on lemmy.ml?

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 14 points 11 months ago

slurs in general are not allowed on lemmy.ml

[-] gigachad@feddit.de 12 points 11 months ago

Das glaub ich nicht Hurensohn

Changing it to "removed" instead just drives the euphemism treadmill faster, people will find ways to say the same without those specific words. Whether something is a slur is also very context-dependent. Something computers as of yet aren't well equipped to handle.

It isn't allowed, but I don't think my instance bans bitch

[-] CallumWells@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Well, I can only see "removed" instead of whatever you were trying to convey.

[-] original_ish_name@latte.isnot.coffee 5 points 11 months ago

I can see b!tch

[-] CallumWells@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Aight, then it's visual based on the instance, I guess. Which I would say isn't useful at all, it's the Scunthorpe problem and euphemism treadmill (see people saying corn, unalive, et cetera). Oh well...

[-] DharmaCurious@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Iirc, lemmy.ml is a specifically leftist instance, right? They may have banned the word because of its sexist nature. A bit like allowing fuck, but not allowing the other f word that generally applies to gay men. Swearing isn't the issue, slurs or derogatory terms are.

Small test: Dio porco Cunt Vaffanculo Hurensohn Dickhead

That's pretty gay

Sincerely, a gay dude

Yeah it's censored :/

[-] Ertebolle@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

Well how am I supposed to reference a female dog then?

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 15 points 11 months ago

I would say /u/spez, but that seems mean to the dog.

[-] klemptor@lemmy.ml 9 points 11 months ago

A heccin' G O O D G I R L E, obviously.

Just fyi, i used the w word because it is the most accurate translation. Hurensohn means Sohn einer Hure, Son einer Hure, Son of a Hure, Son of a removed

[-] oatscoop@midwest.social 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A lot of translations of "Spez ist ein hurensohn" translates to "Spez is a son on of a bitch" -- although "hurensohn" is more literally "whore's son"

Edit: Seems like it's just your instance (lemmy.ml)
