dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

The specific example here is not a slur, variations of it are not banned either. You can say degeneration or just call someone a degen

the r-slur is a slur, calling something r-sluration doesn't erase the impact of the word on someone. And that's what the point of a filter is, to minimize impact.

edit: Oh I guess we're talking about specific words and not the word filter in general. Well calling someone a degen is pretty sus so I'm not too worried about some discussion having to work around it.

But the thing that is sus is the thing that's allowed.

I mean all kinds of words are allowed, or rather not blocked. I still don't understand the problem here
