        "Tr​anny" is 4chan's new favorite homophobic slur. It used to be "fa​g" for the majority of 4chan's lifetime, but I guess nothing lasts forever.

        (Mods I am trans so I'm allowed to say these words pls no ban.)

            That's why I said "favorite," not "only."

            No I just have a trick to get around them :^)

            I agree that, while well intentioned, the automatic word filter can be irritating and take away the weight of words we use to talk about our experiences.

            Leftypol is full of slurs but I love their word filters. Instead of replacing it with removed they replace several varieties of the t word to 'transhumanist', seethe, dilate, and so on to 'I agree' and 'I concede that point', the n word to 'uygur', and when there's a raid it's hilarious.

        I remember when a Nazi chud was saying Nazi shit, got called out en masse, and told all of them to “dilate”.

        It’s not like they’d distinguish between “degenerate” straight whites and sexual/racial/religious minorities when le Day of the Rope comes so it makes sense that they’d conflate all of us.
