Americans are fragile snowflakes who cannot handle seeing bad words regardless of context and intention. Their freedom of speech is severely restricted as a result.
If people weren’t so bad about seeing shitty things and then repeating them anyway then I’d probably agree with you more. It’s also not a freedom of speech thing since hatespeech(which includes slurs) is not protected in most places and it’s weird of you to bring it up at all.
Quoting hate speech without censoring in order to denounce it is not a bad thing. Here’s an example of the biggest French newspaper having the literal n-word* in the title of an article. They are not being hateful, they are quoting a chant by black protesters who used this word both ironically and in reference to a famous black French poet, to protest racist remarks by a higher-up at LVMH. Absolutely no one was offended by this article, because the newspaper isn’t actually racist ; it’s a quote.
* I’m saying “n-word” instead of the full word, as I don’t want m-words to ban me because they do not understand context.
Why censor 4-Chan bad language in a 4-chan community. We can handle reading “normalfag”
It seems to be taken from a platform that scans for bad language in pictures and demonetises/restricts access to these posts.
The image was like this when I saved it. I’m not going to take the time to censor bad words.
I thought that might be the case :) Censored for Reddit
Frankly censoring that word would have been better done by the user who typed itz
Bad language is bad, it’s literally in the name /s

I mean I do agree with the first part but that’s not what freedom of speech is in a legal sense
That’s another thing - Americans seem to be convinced that “free speech” is a legal concept and nothing else.
In a literal sense or do you mean in a legal sense?
Legal sense, you’re right. My mistake.
? Am American and really don’t see where you’re coming from.
Haven’t you heard? Everything bad is because of America
“Not using slurs is woke and that’s bad” shut the hell up, loser.
This is not what I said. Using slurs is bad. Censoring slurs when quoting is also bad and useless. Only Americans are afraid of words in such a way.

That’s because French are more revolutionary than Americans. Protests and revolutions seems to be their annual holidays.
Drag doesn’t want to handle it. Drag wants to read greentexts without seeing slurs. Drag can handle it, but doesn’t think drag should.
