    it’s worse than just that. SDF apparently had zero review process for creating subs and this user is abusing it to spam transphobia and violence. got about 30 reports in before they banned me tho ;3

          I’m not gay, but i am arab and the fact he called me an islamist for posting an arabic meme is so funny to me. I’ve been loving fucking with him lmao

                That’s… obscure, I guess, if I don’t speak Arabic and less funny if I have to read the explanation without knowing the pun, but nowhere near offensive.

                  I think what makes it funnier is how unrelated those two terms are. It’s a quirk of the Arabic language and there’s a whole class of these types of puns.

                  My favorite one is “bullying” and “the tigerization”

                    I think you might appreciate the German word “Scheinwerfer”:

                    (The joke is that the word “Schein” can mean both the “shine” of a lamp or paper bills, and “Werfer” means thrower or caster. So a “shine-caster” aka light or a “bill-thrower” depending on how you interpret it.)
