LOL I wanna be friends with the people who come up with these stock photo captions.

[–] KittyCat@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Its fuck, you can just say fuck, stop fucking censoring your words

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 96 points 1 day ago (12 children)

man is it just me or is the r word making a comeback

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 8 hours ago

Trump said it’s ok so they all love it now.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 75 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even worse they censor fuck but leave the R one in.

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Censor a swear word but leave in the slur? Feels like right-wing humor.

[–] Larry@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s demeaning to an entire population. Pretty much the definition of a slur.

[–] Larry@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But "idiot" has the same origin and isn't a slur?

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago

It's based on usage. R word is tainted now, this might change in the future or not. Language doesn't care about etymology, only about usage. If the usage is generally negative and implies inferiority of a minority it's a slur.

Calling someone an idiot doesn't imply that disabled people are inferior, which makes it ok to use.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

See also Moron, imbecile, and cretin.
All Originally medical terms, that then entered comon usage as insults, fell out of favor medically because of that, were rejected by polite society, then after a refractory period and enough replacements, became lower grade insults that were more acceptable for common use.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well the medical people stopped using it so it only makes sense, yeah.

Like when they stopped using 'idiot' and 'moron', those words became socially acceptable to use again.

Just wait until you hear the kids say "Bro, are you developmentally handicapped?"

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They're already calling each other autistic lol

Just wait until 'autistic' becomes a slur.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It already is. I'm autistic and I've caught a ban a few times for saying things like "sorry, I'm a little autistic" or "lol my autistic ass" and the mods are like "you cannot use autistic as a slur" and I'm like "motherfucker I am not a slur".

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sounds like the mods are autistic af

[–] NotAnAlt@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 7 hours ago

White people do be like that sometimes.

Think they aren't part of the problem when they use white privilege like a superpower.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 day ago

It never went away

[–] Denalduh@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately yes.. I noticed an uptick in usage after musk started using it openly.

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sadly yes. I mean stupid is right there and is just as effective

[–] chronotron@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

not by any stretch of the imagination

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Man, you on the Tylenol huh" sounds way funnier anyway

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 2 points 13 hours ago

Assigned Tylenol At Birth.

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 2 points 1 day ago

since OP appears to be one of Ze Germans, i’m going to take the charitable interpretation that they were probably not aware of the connotation

Unfortunately been seeing it and hearing it from others lately.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago

It is slowly catching back on.

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Because it actually has a setup and a punchline?

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The pregnancy test:

Are you pregnant?

If you answered yes, then you are pregnant.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

What if I was practicing my French and meant to say I was full after a meal, but got it wrong?

(je suis pleine)

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like the dumb girl, she seems nicer.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

She might not even be dumb.

Obviously not their natural color
