The best thing about lemmy is that it brings back things like this that I often thought about and really wanted to find again to be able to fill the gaps in my memory, but couldn’t remember enough about it to be able to find on Google.
Its not the first time it happens to me. Anyway, thanks op. I had given up hope on finding this one again.
This is what Reddit used to do for me. The weirdest thing Reddit ever did was give me the name of an insect that for years I tried to Google when I would see it and I have legitimately only ever seen the bug 3 times in my 28 years of life. They are so small, so infrequent, and so rare that I thought for years I wasn’t even seeing an I sect but just a fuzz from a dandelion once it changes.
I mean for actual fucking years I could not find the regular name, the slang name (usually changes based on dialect, or even the scientific name. The amount of times I searched for “white fuzzy bug” or “white floating bug.” No matter the combination. I even would tell people, “I remember seeing this bug and I have seen it so rarely I don’t even know if it is real.” And most of my friends would say, “yeah never seen it.” And then that one friend would say, “dude me too.” And then one fucking day I open Reddit and God dammit if I didn’t believe it someone gave me the name. Actual years of feeling insane and thinking those little fuckers were a sign of something higher because of how fragile and cute they are and Reddit not only gives me the name, confirms I am sane but enlightens me on the little bastards they actually are.
I am from West Virginia and if you made it this far well by God if you have seen one then I swear on mother nature you aren’t insane and we are in this together.

I’m from West Virginia too. My mom told me they were fairies.
I legit believed that shit.
I am from far far south, different dialect. Everybody know that.
While I always advocate for starving trolls, sometimes feeding them yields hilarious results.
Nice. I put on my wizard robe and hat.
That joke is old enough to drive… 🤣
Even old enough to drink alcohol in the US legally.
Blood of a thousand innocent anI
Isn’t it in a dative construct, so the plural should be “anis”?
Afaik you don’t declinate loanwords beyond the plural, but you’d have to ask Merriam Webster for that.
Octopi
Octopuses. It’s an English word, not Latin.
If you wanted to be less wrong, but still try to look smart, you could use octopodes, since it’s of Greek root. But in any case, it’s an English word, and thus is Octopuses.
Octopussy
This is straight up verbal sexual harassment. Why is this being upvoted?
It breaks Rule 5:
No content that harasses members within or outside of the community.
…screamed the stable boy.
Now we have actual written sexual harassment documented in this thread. 🤡
Rules 1 and 5 are being openly broken. Thanks for showing me the dregs of this community.
Lemmy’s shitstain? I feel like you are harassing this community and breaking rule 5. Please throw out your computer, thank you.
I didn’t say this is Lemmy’s shitstain, I said I thought this is Lemmy Shitpost and still think it is, and that this is not Lemmy’s shitstain.
But recent events have come to light, and I’m reconsidering.
Still not saying that this place is a shitstain yet. It could be, but I haven’t confirmed it yet.
This is fake (like all of these conversation screenshot posts, welcome to the internet, where have you been) and what makes it funny is the fact that it’s fake. If a man posted it as “I’ve got harassed by X and this is my story” the majority would react similarly to you (some ppl would still be haha funny as we can see from actual sh/sa posts and those people can go fuck themselves). But it isn’t, we all know it’s fake, we all laugh about the absurdity of it and that’s it.
So a fake sexual assault story that can be viewed as funny is OK now? Thanks for the heads up.
Lmao, shit-tier trolling
Bro he called him “faggot”. This was not a one way street
So your agreeing with me that there was sexual harassment, and then there was more sexual harassment?
Thank you for proving my point even further.
Well that’s not very civil
idk if true or copypasta. If not copypasta, can we make it into one?
“…said the stable boy” is a bit funny but it just draws back to the joke that an RPer ia forcing someone to join their ERP. … Said the stable boy.
It doesn’t feel like sexual harassment to them because it’s directed towards a straight male. Change the words to “stable girl” and everyone would call it creepy instead of funny (as they should, because it is). Don’t try to reason with these people, it will just needlessly make you angry.
I think i recognize some context you’re missing.
I feel like this is in response to an unsolicited ERP request from the left chatter, making it essentially proportionate.
Now I can’t be certain but that is a common thing I’ve seen people do so it feels likely.
I put on my wizard hat n robe…
I’m gandalf, the anus destroyer, and you’re my simple hobbit.
You don’t get the reference at all, do you? 😂
Why is faggot censored?
Because it’s a hateful slur.
It’s in a meme. Reading it doesn’t harm you.
Because it breaks Rule 1
Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.
What about all the other bad words…
OP isn’t using it. He’s quoting someone else using it.
I don’t buy into the concept of hate speech.
So one of those words needed to be censored. I wonder what it was.
the most interesting thing about this is the fact that “removed” is blurred out, but not “gay ass queer”. times have changed and i feel so fucking old.
Gay ass queer isn’t really a slur, it’s just dumb. The other word obviously is one.
What if Drath’nor is a reanimated Ent or some sort of wooden gollum?
do they take a request? they’re missing at least one…
You've brought up a real interesting and nuanced point, which is "what's the difference between an insult and a slur, and when does one become the other?" And a lot of it's just down to "whether the target of said insult/slur feels it's so offensive as to actually cause harm or be a predictor of causing harm," I think.
In the cases you've pointed out, redacted is still very much a slur, whereas "queer" definitely used to be and is now going through a sort of reclamation phase, so whether someone considers it a slur or not really kind of depends on their own history with it. "Queer" is definitely a word with an actively evolving meaning and legacy*, I think, and since we're in the middle of it I'm not sure whether it will end up fully reclaimed or the pendulum will swing the other way eventually.
*all words are actively evolving like this but it's much quicker with insults and slurs because of the emotion involved
Anyway, back to the subject of Drath’nor the Anus Destroyer.
Wait. Is this a joke? removed?
covered in the blood of a thousand innocent anuses
You’re a Slaanesh worshipper, we get it.
why was removed censored?
I think it’s kinda funny when people censor only slurs but leave all other insults, like it will make it less offensive lol
I think slurs are way more offensive than swear words.
Swear words are “offensive” arbitrarily. Some people don’t like “Fuck” because it is a more crude way to say “have sex with”.
Slurs are offensive by design. Their only purpose is to denigrate people based on their immutable personal characteristics (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.)
Because much of the internet is based in california
why was removed censored?
The same reason it’s censored on Lemmy.world.
I was told men wanted to be hit on out of no where. This is just confusing me now.
Wait so I’ve been asking “would you like to get some coffee” to women to “hit on” them, have I been doing it wrong? Should I have been forcing unwanted sexual roleplay on them this whole time?
it sure seemed to work for the recipient on the left.
I mean if sneaking up on people with your dick out is ‘hitting on’ people the sign me up
Damn I forgot about Kik. I wonder if it’s still used
Getting some fear and hunger vibes from this rp.
Sexual harassment is not funny just because the victim is a straight guy. If this happened to a woman, everyone would be rightfully up in arms.
Off topic but for some reason out of nowhere ass reminds me of noodles.

You build a bridge and do they call you Drath'nor the Bridge Builder? You educate the young and so they call you Drath'nor the Teacher? You protect your sheep in a storm and do they call you Drath'nor the Shepard?
No
But you make ONE dodgy curry for the village...

Yeah, the blood of a thousand innocent anus didn’t come from consent

Why?
You could do anal and oral at the same time.
