This where context and being aware that other cultures can be different linguistically comes in. How much do you think people in french speaking African countries care about a certain word that describes a color over there :|
I would just not use those words to not be misunderstood. :)
I have an issue with the word misunderstood, could you use something less offensive to me? Like perceived differently? Misunderstood implies an objective interpretation.
Seems you were intentionally trying to seek attention by saying shit people actually don’t want to hear and claiming it’s fine based off a technicality. Your so edgy bro. Don’t call other people stupid just because they see beyond your attempt to be clever.

You think I’m trying to be clever by speaking my own language?
You think I speak my own language to seem “edgy”?
The word “faggot” on reddit gets site-wide deleted which means even saying it in the UK subs where people will know the meaning it would get deleted. Yes it’s happened and that’s fucking moronic.
It’d be like banning Spaniards from their own subs for saying "Tiene negro gato ".
We speak the same fucking language. Your metafore of Spanish and negro is irrelevant. You guys seriously run around, on what is an AMERICAN platform and think that the word of choice for a cigarette, a smoke, a stogey, is “faggot”? Not fag, but faggot? That is the word you want to use? Even though you have many other choices of words, that is it? And you are surprised?
I remember elementary school when we laughed about fag meaning a cigarette. Then I turned 8.
No but like seriously, I guess maybe I am missing some perspective. You guys just like use it in commonplace? Like, “Hey Benedict, I’m gonna go suck on this faggot over here” or “Hey Charles, it’s time for my fag break”
You need to sit and think about that less than 5% of humans are Americans and while our culture has been exported to a lot more than that, those people don’t live as or where you do and aren’t beholden to your cultural morays and taboos.
Think about it – 95% of people – Zoom out and really let that sink in. Watch some other cultures’ exports and the weight of the cultural robes you wear will become clear over time.
Dog, he was right though… and you’re assuming he was seeking attention when he was sharing a factually correct piece of history, that someone banned him for, when they were wrong. That is some close mindedness right there
Did you just call somebody’s language you inherit a technicality? I swear to god you yanks are something else with your lack of education and common sense. I guess the only way to afford thousand of ICBMs is to defund the school. Bless you
The first part of your post is really confusing. Why would you talk like you’re using English from 1930s? Is English your second language?
No. I’m 40yrs old and I don’t keep up with the modern-day lingo. 😂
Also I’m British so I speak British English. “Fags” are cigarettes and “faggots” are a type of food.
Kind of hard for moderators to know that maybe.

Bet you get mad in the southern groceries at frijoles negros too

It’s a Chinese platform though… What?

Wait until you hear about faggots and peas
The fanny pack never did take off in the U.K…
