ooh you’re the one they called a slur in the modlog im so sorry :(
I’m not gay, but i am arab and the fact he called me an islamist for posting an arabic meme is so funny to me. I’ve been loving fucking with him lmao
What meme? Or did it get deleted
Its in the other PTB thread posted by me
That’s… obscure, I guess, if I don’t speak Arabic and less funny if I have to read the explanation without knowing the pun, but nowhere near offensive.
I think what makes it funnier is how unrelated those two terms are. It’s a quirk of the Arabic language and there’s a whole class of these types of puns.
My favorite one is “bullying” and “the tigerization”
I think you might appreciate the German word “Scheinwerfer”:
(The joke is that the word “Schein” can mean both the “shine” of a lamp or paper bills, and “Werfer” means thrower or caster. So a “shine-caster” aka light or a “bill-thrower” depending on how you interpret it.)
Thank you for sharing this beautiful culture with me
