Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.

    Is this a localised to the US thing? Here in Aus I’ve never heard removed being used as either an insult or linked to someone with a developmental disability. What context is it used in for a developmental disability?

          This illustrates really well why word filters are a terrible idea; they have no regard for the conversational context.

          Oooooooooooh shit that makes sense now hahahahahaha.

          I didn’t even know there was a word filter!

          I’m sitting here all confused thinking “Removed” was the actual word not what is being displayed here

        Haha nah

        There’s a word filter so I was only seeing “Removed” in place of the actual word. Confused the shit out of me. Now it all makes sense
