    They're gonna run out of old timey slurs they can say without getting cancelled, and that's when they start moving into Elder Scrolls slurs and start calling people Swits and N'Wah

      American Liberals like to bring up times where communist governments were racist or homophobic as if communism cannot evolve past bigotry, while completely ignoring that the Democratic Party only became associated with “progressivism” within the last half century, and even then many were still foaming with racism.

    Must have been a Shiny(R)(TM) slur because I have no idea which one is phonetically similar to that word. Also would prefer not to know. Thank you.

      I can think of a couple. Spoilers, idk if the slur filter will catch it i haven't ever heard a real person say it.

      spoiler

      It may have been "removed"


      Yeah, i don't think the slur filter got it. Idk where i've even heard it but i suspect it was an old-timey book from like the 19th century. Oh, nope, slur filter got it after all. /shrug. Idk the correct way to discuss a particular slur on hexbear.

    This one does definitely seem like just a slip up though, the slur doesn't make any sense in the context he used it in

    White boomers still have so much “old timey” racism rattling around in their heads just waiting for the opportunity to escape. My dad once

    cw racism

    asked his black coworker over to help him move a couch and kept calling him “boy” which I’d never heard him call anybody. Like this guy came over to help out of the kindness of his heart and you talk to him like that?

    He’s a lifelong dem and considers himself progressive, of course. Glad I don’t talk to him anymore.

      My dad lost it on me a few years ago when I told him he couldn’t use the n-word, even to illustrate that it was a bad word. He only chilled out when I showed him like twenty Washington Post articles agreeing with me.

      He also lost it on me another time after we looked up the Uyghur genocide on google images and couldn’t find a single convincing photo. He was calm then, but later in the evening I said that Biden was just as much of a child molester as Trump and he went nuts.

      I haven’t really spoken with my parents in two years. They voted Bernie/Biden in 2020. I check my dad’s twitter likes sometimes (he doesn’t tweet anything) and it’s almost always very apolitical things he’s liking. When 10/7 happened he wrote a lengthy boring facebook post about how all violence is wrong, an opinion which strangely does not apply to Ukraine for some reason.

      My parents and I stopped talking after I found a copy of like a comic book version of one of Timothy Snyder’s books in their living room. I looked at the book and it was just relentless in claiming that Soviets and Nazis were the same. We argued about it pretty vehemently for awhile and that was it. Mentally I’m actually doing a lot better without having to deal with them.

    I feel blessed to have no idea what the slur could be. Cutting out all boomers from my life seems to be paying dividends.

    I knew banjo was making a comeback, but I'd rather not see a return of minstrel shows.

      Steven Crowder does impressions of black people that are minstrel-tier caricatures. I wouldn’t be surprised if more “comedy” like this made a comeback.

    I only know the word because I’m so terminally online that in 2006 or so my friend who was 4 years older than me and addicted to pain pills sent me a parody song which was like a nursery rhyme for slur called “n-word hating me”. Early aughts and youtube was grim man.
