    Are you ok? Did I call you a slur? Do you mean “removed” is a slur?

    Hexbear automatically removes slurs. The only thing anyone on hexbear sees when you slur is “removed”.

    Are you even a Brit?

    I don’t know why you think you have a free slur use card everywhere because whichever slur you’ve decided to spew here might be normalised in Britain.

    As for the nuance… The point is that it’s a FUCKING NUANCE. Visit the fucking country, and in the future try talking shit, or glazing it ONLY after a visit.

    Why are you assuming I have not? Continuing your trend of providing absolutely no explanation or justification though I see. Does screaming NUANCE over and over usually go well for you offline with people who are well educated? Have you considered that when you do this people just think to themselves “this guy’s an idiot and there’s going to be no valuable conversation to be had with him when he can’t talk about any of the topic beyond screaming the same word over and over” and then decide to disengage from conversation with you about it? Do you ever think about how other people see or judge you or do you go through life blissfully unaware of more complex social interaction?

    As for having no clue… You most probably have zero idea about the country you’re talking about. You don’t care about me knowing the language and the culture means YOU dont actually care about it. If you cared to learn enough you’d learn to appreciate how much of a culture is IN the language… removed like you only care about pushing your idea…

    This is true. I’m impressed. There’s a brain in there somewhere trying to express actual thoughts. It’s also absolutely nothing to do with any of the points that were previously made though.

        Mate the filters are there for a reason. I know you’re desperate to say slurs but have some fucking respect for other people yeah?

        You wonder why I’m being so aggressive and shitty with you? It’s because it’s blatantly obvious you’re a shithead mate. Hope nobody fell for your sexpat attempts.

        your “fres speech” community

        We do not believe in free speech what are you on about? We explicitly believe that some speech and some people should absolutely be ruthlessly controlled and cracked down upon. Specifically the bourgeoisie and bourgeois ideology. We think the opposite about the working class and its theory of liberation - socialist ideology.

        For someone who has visited China you don’t seem to really know a whole lot about communist ideology. What did you actually do when you were there? Besides tourist shit for crackers without a brain I mean. Would you be able to talk with me at an adult level about the court system? The electoral system? Any of the laws? The organisational structure and ideology that makes it an immensely successful society and emerging world leader? Or is your knowledge really basically just surface level tourist shit and the usual predatory cracker attempts at being a sexpat?

          A shame they got banned before they responded to this, I would’ve loved to see their response. It probably would’ve just been a “Acktually, I’m the legendary white guy who has lived amongst the oriental savages and therefore understand their culture better than they understand it themselves, so I don’t need to know about their government to know it is bad.” but you never know, someday a lib might surprise us.

            Maybe. I was throwing shit at the wall to provoke them. I often find that if I provoke this type of person enough then throw them little more pleasant changes in my behaviour they will open up because they prefer that to the ultra hostile person I was hitting with them earlier. This then tends to open into something else as I treat them more respectfully once they’re opening up. I have a whole strategy that probably just looks like relentless hostility from the outside but it has a purpose.

            Takes longer though and they’re banned. All good though, I’m the one that reported their slur bypassing so not too much of a surprise.

              I also reported the slur bypass. I’m sure they’ll interpret it as “sensitive hexbears can’t handle reality!” or whatever, but they always do this shit, they deliberately break the rules and get a ban from that, not because we’re scared of the ideas of western hegemony and can’t handle them. I’ve never seen one of these guys actually get banned just for posting pro-west stuff (or claiming to be “both sides” while doing that), they always behave in a shitty way and break the rules.

                I’m not even particularly sensitive to the word, being here in Britain. But clearly it’s a problem for others and it’s really easy to just respect that. Brits and Aus suffer from a chronic belief they have a special C-card and can say it as much as they like because it’s in the culture to say it. When they’re told not to they reactively rebel viewing it as their privilege or whatever.

                  Yeah, here in Aus, we basically use it like a punctuation mark. But as you said, it isn’t about whether they or you were fine with the word, it’s about them just refusing to respect others and thinking they are being cheeky or sly when they are being misogynistic, thinking they can “get away with it” because lots of people use the word.

                    Same over here although less as punctuation, pretty common though. I could talk for hours about the difference in misogyny though, there’s a distinct cultural difference in its use that stems from men calling themselves the word as a sort of honorific, “I’m a right nasty cword”. This is absolutely not something the americans would use it for, when they say it they explicitly mean WAHMEN whereas that usage around brit/aus was erased by its gangster slang usage. You can see it humourously in stuff [slur warning] like lock stock where it’s used self-descriptively by hard man types. I suspect going through that phase linguistically erased its usage as direct intentional misogyny in our culture.

                    Can you imagine someone like Tate calling themselves this word? No, absolutely not. Because to them it’s a different word entirely and this usage would make them uncomfortable. To self describe as the word they apply to weak inferior women? No. They simply wouldn’t do it. The linguistic phase we went through in Brit/Aus culture is what generated the difference of opinion here compared to the rest of the world on usage of it.
