This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

.world censored the full fag word

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You mean gay? Or homosexual?

And why would they censor that and not “fag”, when the former are also used as neutral descriptions while the latter is almost exclusively used in a derogatory way?

And also, do I even have to point out how ridiculous it is to promote freedom of information while simultaneously selectively censoring certain words? That’s literally Russia levels of hypocrisy right there.

No I mean f a g g o t is censored. Which is doubly ironic since fag isn't

Perhaps because it would upset British folks talking about their cigarettes?
