They don’t call him Drath’nor the Anus Destroyer for nothing.
You build a bridge and do they call you Drath’nor the Bridge Builder? You educate the young and so they call you Drath’nor the Teacher? You protect your sheep in a storm and do they call you Drath’nor the Shepard?
No
But you make ONE dodgy curry for the village…
Yeah, the blood of a thousand innocent anus didn’t come from consent
Why?
You could do anal and oral at the same time.
The best thing about lemmy is that it brings back things like this that I often thought about and really wanted to find again to be able to fill the gaps in my memory, but couldn’t remember enough about it to be able to find on Google.
Its not the first time it happens to me. Anyway, thanks op. I had given up hope on finding this one again.
This is what Reddit used to do for me. The weirdest thing Reddit ever did was give me the name of an insect that for years I tried to Google when I would see it and I have legitimately only ever seen the bug 3 times in my 28 years of life. They are so small, so infrequent, and so rare that I thought for years I wasn’t even seeing an I sect but just a fuzz from a dandelion once it changes.
I mean for actual fucking years I could not find the regular name, the slang name (usually changes based on dialect, or even the scientific name. The amount of times I searched for “white fuzzy bug” or “white floating bug.” No matter the combination. I even would tell people, “I remember seeing this bug and I have seen it so rarely I don’t even know if it is real.” And most of my friends would say, “yeah never seen it.” And then that one friend would say, “dude me too.” And then one fucking day I open Reddit and God dammit if I didn’t believe it someone gave me the name. Actual years of feeling insane and thinking those little fuckers were a sign of something higher because of how fragile and cute they are and Reddit not only gives me the name, confirms I am sane but enlightens me on the little bastards they actually are.
I am from West Virginia and if you made it this far well by God if you have seen one then I swear on mother nature you aren’t insane and we are in this together.
EDIT: A better site and image
What a horrendous website to visit after such a wholesome story.
Huh?
My home server just died so my ad blocker isn’t working. You probably see a perfectly normal website with your ad blocker.
Yeah the site isn’t a good pick on my part.
Fixed:
I edited the site. It’s not a ton better but it’s readable.
I’m from West Virginia too. My mom told me they were fairies.
I legit believed that shit.
I am from far far south, different dialect. Everybody know that.
Turns out the little bastards are terrible despite being cute.
While I always advocate for starving trolls, sometimes feeding them yields hilarious results.
Blood of a thousand innocent ani
Isn’t “of a thousand anus” a dative construct, so the plural should be “anis”?
Afaik you don’t declinate loanwords beyond the plural, but you’d have to ask Merriam Webster for that.
Fun little tidbit: the word “loanword” itself is a sub-type of a loanword, a calque, which is a word-by-word translation from a word in a different language. It was brought to English from the German “Lehnwort”.
🤯
Loans generally follow the grammar of the host language. English has a plural, it doesn’t have a dative.
Well, a dative marked by morphology, that is, outside of “him/her/whom”, instead it’s done by word order. Take “The smith gave the miller the hammer”, “the miller” is dative, “the hammer” is accusative, you can’t say “The smith gave the hammer the miller”.
Also “of a thousand ani” is genitive, marking of that is done with “of” or “'s”.
As to plural form: English has a gazillion of those: Caboose, cabeese (yay Ablaut!), box, boxen, etc. Some Latin doesn’t hurt.
Then the correct plural is “anorum” in this case.
Octopi
Octopussy
Octopuses. It’s an English word, not Latin.
If you wanted to be less wrong, but still try to look smart, you could use octopodes, since it’s of Greek root. But in any case, it’s an English word, and thus is Octopuses.
All 3 are correct because language is determined by use https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/the-many-plurals-of-octopus-octopi-octopuses-octopodes

You can make up whatever words you want, yes.
That’s just saying you’re ignorant of how other people communicate, so you’re going to make up your own words and hope for the best.
You seem to be the one ignorant of how other people communicate.
And you seem to want to make up more words because your vocabulary is limited. Defend ypur ignorance as much as you want. 🤷
What are you even talking about? I haven’t made up any words.

Nice. I put on my wizard robe and hat.

I’m gandalf, the anus destroyer, and you’re my simple hobbit.
You don’t get the reference at all, do you? 😂
the most interesting thing about this is the fact that “removed” is blurred out, but not “gay ass queer”. times have changed and i feel so fucking old.
e: til you can’t say it on lemmy.
Gay ass queer isn’t really a slur, it’s just dumb. The other word obviously is one.
What if Drath’nor is a reanimated Ent or some sort of wooden gollum?
You’ve brought up a real interesting and nuanced point, which is “what’s the difference between an insult and a slur, and when does one become the other?” And a lot of it’s just down to “whether the target of said insult/slur feels it’s so offensive as to actually cause harm or be a predictor of causing harm,” I think.
In the cases you’ve pointed out,
redactedis still very much a slur, whereas “queer” definitely used to be and is now going through a sort of reclamation phase, so whether someone considers it a slur or not really kind of depends on their own history with it. “Queer” is definitely a word with an actively evolving meaning and legacy*, I think, and since we’re in the middle of it I’m not sure whether it will end up fully reclaimed or the pendulum will swing the other way eventually.*all words are actively evolving like this but it’s much quicker with insults and slurs because of the emotion involved
Anyway, back to the subject of Drath’nor the Anus Destroyer.
You can find the list of banned slurs on your server here: https://lemmy.world/api/v3/site
Navigate to site_view -> local_site -> slur_filter_regex
I see five slurs and a bunch of usernames in there. Maybe as a method of spam protection? I don’t get it, really.
do they take a request? they’re missing at least one…
Contact your server admins, I’m sure they’ll add slurs if you ask
that’s a good suggestion. thanks

Wait. Is this a joke? removed?

So one of those words needed to be censored. I wonder what it was.
I’m kidding, I know what it is.
Democrat?
Conservative “humor”
why was removed censored?
I think it’s kinda funny when people censor only slurs but leave all other insults, like it will make it less offensive lol
As a gay person, yes, it does.
As a gay person myself, it doesn’t
I’m a white cishet male and can say, without a doubt in my mind, that slurs really aren’t that bad. I see and hear them every day and they don’t make me feel bad at all!

For some reason, everytime someone uses the word “Fabulooooooous”, I remember Mettaton from Undertale lol
I think slurs are way more offensive than swear words.
Swear words are “offensive” arbitrarily. Some people don’t like “shit” because it is a more crude way to say “poop”. Most swearwords only became this way through classism. They were deemed offensive by the wealthy because they were initially used by the poor; using them was akin to associating yourself with the lesser classes.
Slurs are offensive by design. Their only purpose is to denigrate people based on their immutable personal characteristics (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.)
Rich people skill issue
why was removed censored?
The same reason it’s censored on Lemmy.world.
Because much of the internet is based in california
Getting some fear and hunger vibes from this rp.
I target the phallus with my blade attack
I was told men wanted to be hit on out of no where. This is just confusing me now.
Wait so I’ve been asking “would you like to get some coffee” to women to “hit on” them, have I been doing it wrong? Should I have been forcing unwanted sexual roleplay on them this whole time?
it sure seemed to work for the recipient on the left.
I mean if sneaking up on people with your dick out is ‘hitting on’ people the sign me up
are you short enough to walk under a stallion?
Damn I forgot about Kik. I wonder if it’s still used
That and Snapchat were the quintessential random hookup apps.

Why is faggot censored?
Because it’s a hateful slur unless you’re talking about a bundle of sticks.
It’s in a meme. Reading it doesn’t harm you. Anymore than reading the other stuff in the meme does, or even just knowing it’s written
Censoring it doesn’t harm you, either. It’s a word that’s only purpose is to spread hate. Nothing of value is lost.
It does, because I call my bf a removed teasingly. And a lot of my gay friends do the same.
You’re welcome to say whatever you want to your family and friends. This is a public forum.
So?
So… you have been asked to not spread hate, and you ask why?
We respect Christ in here
Or a packet of cigarettes
I think you meant “fags”. Not quite the same word.
Derived from the same word, but an abbreviation of it.
According to Wiktionary, “fag” as in “cigarette” is probably derived from “fag end”, (from “fagge” meaning “flap”), rather than “faggot”.
“fag” as a slur is derived from “faggot”, of course.
removed is the word that people are getting sensored for I honestly didn’t even know that was a slur I just thought it was just a insult like fucker or bitch classy no but you haven’t noticed people tend to insult and get into fights with people like you know someone is sheltered if they are surprised that people fight online
Faggets?
So?
You obviously haven’t had it used against you as a call to violence have you?
No, I got called other words. Not banning them either. The R word is our word.
I would rather people don’t use it at all if you don’t mind and I gladly censor myself when it comes to other slurs. I can’t convey the mental anguish and self hatred that I’ve suffered all because of an immutable characteristic of my sexuality. You can treat it lightly because you haven’t gone through that suffering. It’s one thing for someone to make fun of you for kicks. It’s quite another for entire groups of people to hate you because of what you are.

Because it breaks Rule 1
Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.
What about all the other bad words…
A little bit of cultural linguistics going on really. Even though the texts are also calling OOP gay and queer, and doing so with the same amount of vitriol as with the f-slur, they aren’t recognized as emotionally charged in the same way. All the other cursing is not hate speech per se as it’s not directly targeting any immutable characteristics.
This is a civilized society. We have rules you know
I’m not happy with any of the depicted harassment in the image (fake or not), it just not that funny. If you want to see what happens if you have a descenting opinion though, you can see my massively downvoted post below.

Is it doubling in size?
OP isn’t using it. He’s quoting someone else using it.
Then it breaks Rule 5:
No content that harasses members within or outside of the community.
That’s ridiculous, quoting harassment is in no way itself harassment. That would undo just about every awareness campaign ever.
Depends on the reason for the quote. Awareness campaigns quote them as examples of what not to do. There is a clear intention to tell the audience “Watch out for this, avoid it, this is wrong.”
The punchline in this example is an encouragement to harass people because it’s funny.
I don’t buy into the concept of hate speech.
I’m curious, what exactly does this mean? Wdym by hate speech, and are you saying it doesn’t exist?
Sexual harassment is not funny just because the victim is a straight guy. If this happened to a woman, everyone would be rightfully up in arms.
