Not really to your comment, but adjacent to it.

Here's something that most people need to know: not all black people feel the same way about that word.

Some called me an "N-word" in a positive way and were okay with me using it around them (I wasn't). Some only want other black people to use it. Some don't want anybody saying it.

A lot of white men with a lot of black friends very often make one crucial error:

That N-pass is only good for your friends.

As a white person in a committed relationship with a black person, no. It's always a trap! Never say it! (Jk I know everyone is different, but I will never)

As is any reclaimed slur when you're not part of said social minority. (e.g. removed, dyke...)

Ninja edit: Lmao I'm getting censored by either the lemmy instance or my 3rd party app (Jerboa). For reference it was f*****

Lemmy world auto-remove certain slurs

They're not very extensive though ^^

Yeah ml is much more restrictive.

It's easier to moderate but it might also increase the likelyhood of Scunthorpe problems.
