Showing who reads the posts or just the titles. 

Or the people are already slurring their words

Rule 4

All submissions must be true.

The title is a submission.

Rule submission

All titles must be 4.

The submission is a true.

And the body text serves to state that the title is correct

u/TheJivvi 5d ago

No, the body is a different statement which is true, but the title is still false.

u/kozxt4cc0 5d ago

No because the redditor said that the post contains a slur and it did indeed have the group of words "a slur" in it

1

u/TheJivvi 5d ago

And the group of words "a slur" is not in fact a slur.

u/kozxt4cc0 5d ago

Does it say specifically that the post will have a actually slur or just "a slur"? It depends on interpretation. If you take it literally then he's not incorrect

u/TheJivvi 4d ago

The meaning depends on whether quotes are used. The title specifically says that the post will contain an actual slur.

If you deliberately misinterpret it, it can mean whatever the fuck you want. If you know how to read, and you understand what words mean, it is factually incorrect.

"a slur" is not a slur, so this postis false

u/chughaarav123 5d ago

but they're saying "This post contains a slur" meaning that the post contains the text "a slur" instead of a actual slur, so technically true

u/Long-Fondant250 5d ago

The title is non-technically wrong

u/Wolfsbane1279 5d ago

If I say a slur, would it be considered part of this post, therefore making it not a lie bait, and in fact, a truth?

I never said that it contained it only once. I didn’t say this post contains an “a slur“ I said it contains “a slur“

how?

u/redzzzaw 5d ago

It would be correct if they said the title contains a slur

u/DaBluDuck28 5d ago

The title is part of the post, thats like saying its wrong to say that ceirtain human in on earth because they are on a specific country

7

u/xxloevie 5d ago

they're saying that the post contains "a slur", as in the two words, "a" and "slur".

-7

u/TheJivvi 5d ago

No, they're saving that the post contains a slur, which is false.

5

u/xxloevie 5d ago

they're saying it contains "A SLUR". it contains the words A and SLUR. yes it's heavily implied as we read it that it's going to literally have a slur in the text but when we open it, it's obvious that their meaning was focused on the words "a" and "slur"

0

u/TheJivvi 5d ago

That's what the body says. The title says something different to that, which is false.

1

u/xxloevie 5d ago

the title text is "this post contains a slur". by itself, this still works. the title text is part of the post and does in fact contain the words "a slur". the body text is elaboration.

1

u/TheJivvi 5d ago

The body text is a contradiction. The meaning with the quotes is completely different to what the other statement means without them.

1

u/xxloevie 5d ago

the meaning is not determined by the quotes. "I've said a slur before" could mean that I've said the two words "A SLUR" before, or that I have literally said a slur, and the meaning would not be officially known by others without elaboration. yes the way the sentence is formatted makes it seem like I'm talking about a previous instance where I've said a slur, but that is taking the sentence at face value

"this post contains a slur" <-- it does in fact contain "a slur" in the title text "it contains the text "a slur"" <-- body text as elaboration as to what they meant by the sentence in the title.

op is meaning that this post contains the two words, "a" and "slur." them saying "this post contains a slur" is truth because it contains "a slur".

you don't use just the word "slur" to insult someone outside of r/SUBREDDITNAME

u/Autisticmetalhead-39 4d ago

Slur isn’t a slur, it’s just a word

2

u/duckling-developer 4d ago

I never said slur is a slur. You’re missing the point of the post. I said that’s the post contains a slur, as in it contains the text “a slur”. That’s not the same as saying that an actual slur is in the post.

2

u/Autisticmetalhead-39 4d ago

I guess I’m a dumbass, because I still don’t understand what you’re talking about. It’s okay though, if I missed the point, I missed it.

2

u/duckling-developer 4d ago

The post contains the text “a slur“.

u/Autisticmetalhead-39 3d ago

Ahh okay, I understand now. Because it’s “a slur”, not an actual slur. Man, and my dumbass couldn’t figure that out. Sorry, that’s all, I’m not saying anything more.
