Growing up r***** was a pretty common phrase, that’s definitely something some millenials have had problems removing from their vocabulary.

I also don’t think our social comprehension of gender has finished evolving yet. So everyone alive to read this comment will eventually have to revise their understanding and look back on their cringy previous views.

Ohhhhh I thought you meant the phrase was “growing up r*****”. Took me five minutes to figure out what you meant. It’s just the one word, not the whole phrase. 😆

For anyone else confused like me, it’s the pejorative word for a person with a mental disability.

I thought they meant “growing up r” as well. First my brain supplied me with “growing up rich”.

If only I had scrolled, you woulda saved me the same time. 🤣

Thanks for the explanation because I was confused too. Good example of why commas matter.

Growing up r what ? I don’t understand

Thanks for the thorough context !

Promoted from your desire to censor yourself, kids won’t understand and be exasperated by my refusal to censor myself online so some website/content creator can more easily make ad money.

And no, fuck that noise, I will not bow the fucking algorithm. I will curse and speak freely.

Retarded. He’s censoring the word retarded, for anyone also confused.

You can say retarded. Especially when literally referring to the word itself? No one is going to arrest you.

For the record the new offensive phrase is “sped”, because the euphemism treadmill doesn’t stop and focusing on words instead of subject matter is pointless.

@Hadriscus@lemm.ee · 1Y

Ah thanks

I like the cut of your jib, Tex.

@TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee · edit-2 1Y

It’s a well cut jib, methinks

You can say removed. Especially when literally referring to the word itself?

Not on lemmy.ml apparently…

@TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee · edit-2 1Y

Doesn’t show removed on my end, but wouldn’t surprise me.

The censoring works so well that I have no idea what you’re talking about.

@tetris11@lemmy.ml · 1Y

Some people just aren’t brave like I am. The word they’re referring to is rigatonni

@SkippingRelax@lemmy.world · 1Y

Rigatoni

I like how the punctuation failures totally change the assumed meaning of the sentence.

@muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world · 1Y

VaultBoyNewVegas · 1Y

I see where you lost the high ground in the discussion.

@Stovetop@lemmy.world · 1Y

Are we censoring the word racist now? We can’t call it what it is?

Ideas never finish evolving, and in a grand sense nothing finishes evolving, unless you consider extinction to be the conclusion of an evolution. Nature goes on, the universe continues, there is no end point where things have reached a perfect evolution.
