Changing it to “removed” instead just drives the euphemism treadmill faster, people will find ways to say the same without those specific words. Whether something is a slur is also very context-dependent. Something computers as of yet aren’t well equipped to handle.
Just fyi, i used the w word because it is the most accurate translation. Hurensohn means Sohn einer Hure, Son einer Hure, Son of a Hure, Son of a removed
Iirc, lemmy.ml is a specifically leftist instance, right? They may have banned the word because of its sexist nature. A bit like allowing fuck, but not allowing the other f word that generally applies to gay men. Swearing isn’t the issue, slurs or derogatory terms are.
The text in the german flag area translates to
You can swear on the internet. Violence? Gore? No problem!
A bad word? Son of a removed, we’re all going to die.
Edit: Wtf, there is a swear filter? Fuck.
Interesting. You can say fuck but son of a bitch is censored… what about son of a fuck?
Might be it doesn’t filter edits
Oh yeah hadn’t thought of that
Fuck a bitch maybe?
But my point was that ‘bitch’ was being censored in his comment, but not ‘fuck’
So it’d still be fuck a removed
Plus I gotta be honest, not a fan of that one. Like how people aren’t a fan on moist.
Kyle’s mom’s a bitch…
u/spez is a son of bïtch
Is b word not allowed on lemmy.ml?
slurs in general are not allowed on lemmy.ml

Well how am I supposed to reference a female dog then?
