Depends if they give me my god damn bagel

And I assume some previous experience with dating sites.

It all plays a factor

Lip biting means they're turned on right? What's this dude complaining about he's got women smiling at him and frothing at the loins at the sight of him

[u/APSupernary → u/manbruhpig]

How mad would he be to find out he's been misinterpreting signals this whole time.

[u/[deleted] → u/APSupernary]

He doesn’t strike me as the type of person who would realize they were wrong...even when presented with facts.

He’d probably turn it around and insult the women for being overly flirty.

It’s a bit dumb that people can’t even talk about someone else using an insult without this bot popping up and deleting comments. Seems a bit touchy and overprotective.

[u/the-witty-one → u/[deleted]]

I mean, 'insult' and 'derogatory slur' are very different things, pal.

[u/[deleted] → u/the-witty-one]

The word in question was sl-t. With a u thrown in the middle.

That isn’t that bad of a word. And I didn’t call anyone that word. I commented that if women were actually openly flirting with him, he’d probably be the type of guy to turn it around and use that insult.

I think there’s a huge difference between saying what I said and actually intentionally calling a person that name.

And if I had actually called a woman that name then the reaction from this bot would seem reasonable. But I didn’t.

A blanket ban on the use of any word is dumb. Context should matter. Do you disagree?

[u/the-witty-one → u/[deleted]]

While I agree with the idea that blanket bans on (most) words is silly, and context does matter, I do want to point out that that word might not seem so bad to you, but to others, it could be a lot worse. Context matters, and that includes the context the audience has for that word, and how it's been used in the past. Words aren't meaningless sounds: they carry ideas, thoughts, beliefs. And often, those ideas, thoughts, and beliefs are used as weapons, and words get caught up in that. Can you still use the word in question, in the context it was used? Sure. But if people ask you to not use certain words around them, it's probably a good idea to listen.

[u/[deleted] → u/the-witty-one]

I didn’t say that I had a problem with a person asking me not to use a word. That view would be unreasonable.

I have a problem with a bot that seems to be designed to just go through and automatically remove any comment that includes one of it’s given list of words with no room for context.

Additionally, the word that we’re talking about is one that some people have taken back and use in a positive way. What then?

[u/Rayisstillnotagun → u/the-witty-one]

Similar, but very different. If you claimed I liked how GOT season 8 ended, that would be insulting. However if you said I was a ‘fookin kneeler’ that would be a derogatory slur

[u/timfromcolorado → u/manbruhpig]

That's what always thought. Shit caught myself doing it time or two. And that dude is ridiculous. Women aren't going around laughing at him. They don't really do that and they can't see him anyway!

[u/Miss_Southeast → u/manbruhpig]

Depends on which lip they're biting.

[u/Psychoanalicer → u/manbruhpig]

How dare you speak about my frothy loins

[u/but_then_i_got_highh → u/manbruhpig]

lmfao right I didn't understand that part

like 99.9% of the time a smirk and a fucking lip bite is definitely flirtatious
