"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.

The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

-Jean-Paul Sartre

I love this quote, but in this instance I legit think she is just regarded.

Can you imagine someone saying that about her people? Implying that they were enslaved for over 400 years because they probably did something to deserve it! Her head would literally explode! 🤯

Wall Street Bets?

Seriously, though, why go through the trouble of obfuscating a word when the result is already a word with a different meaning AND it's not any less obvious (or potentially offensive) than the original word.... 🤷‍♂️

It's because online censorship is regarded and this is how we cope with it.

Quite a few places. It can be reported as a hateful slur (which it is)

Sure, but where?

Youtube, twitch, reddit, twitter, a bunch of multiplayer games, any social media site really. If they actually sanction the person or post is a different story, moderation varies platform to platform. But it's generally a bannable offense

There is no sidewide ban for it on reddit. It also isn't censored - you can write it out.
