    Back when I was growing up 15 years ago, “removedwas reclaimed. I still have trouble processing it as a slur. I don’t know how it fell back into being a slur and became denormalized.

      Wasn’t that just Louis CK trying to do a bit? And nobody listened because it’s not up to a straight man to reclaim the word.

          Interesting. He was popular around that time and had a bit about the word.

          He also got canceled. Because he masterbated non-consentually in front of some women. Because cancel culture is out of control or something.

          Yes, I get that from context. I just don’t understand why they are all using the same way of censoring themselves. It looks like a censor slapped that on

            probably the same mod who removed the top comment censored them, idk if they have that ability but I assume so. I know .ml censors a lot of stuff automatically and it looks exactly like that.
