  • There seems to be a pretty universal consensus view in leftist spaces that pejoratives based on marginalized groups are a form of microaggression and/or discrimination towards that group and should therefore be avoided. I’m wondering if you disagree with that general principle,

    Yeah I guess so. No need to walk on egg shells just to live a little.

    or do you just have a problem with the word “retarded” being included in the set of problematic pejoratives?

    Both?




  • That’s not the kind of filter I’m talking about. I mean that all content in still there and accessible (to everyone) but only hidden depending on user’s settings/preference. This should not require manual labor, if filter is functional enough. That way it’s not outright removed, preventing said consequences of potential biased censorship.

    I’m not saying said filter is easily implementable but theoretically it’d be the best solution I think.
