these people's misplaced loyalty and abhorrent actions speak for themselves. there is no need to resort to slurs that demean others
That slur was very clearly directed at the orange retard, not anyone else. He's demeaning the exact person he means to demean.
i understand, and that is the point. using a term for how some people simply "are" as an insult is demeaning to them regardless of who the insult is aimed at.
i only ask that you try to see it from a so-called "retard's" point if view, the message being that trump is as stupid as they are. its not very considerate to be compared to trump, or to be considered the lowest bar for intelligence.
WHOA dude you can't actually call them that
If theres one thing that pisses me off about lemmy its the word filter. I have no idea what you said.
Then use an instance that doesn't have the word filter?
On lemmy.world you can see it.
If I switch instances its gonna be to one I set up for myself. Just been putting it off
I do see it, "Rtrd" is probably the filter. But I agree - the filter is justified, but there should be a "redacted for [reason], view anyway" option.
I'd switch servers.
