      I didn’t understand what shocking language you were referring to until I read the other comments. I’d never seen that P word before.

      It’s a default sub. I just started using this and am now looking for the unsubscribe. Don’t need some slur ridden post on my feed.

      Well after checking, I see I’m not subscribed.

        Unlike reddit, there’s no “default subs” on Lemmy. It’s either “all” or “subscribed”. All literally means all communities, so yes, objectionable stuff will show up in your feed. The solution is to block them, then they won’t show in All any more.

      It’s why there’s a big warning on the sidebar that says “Beware: sometimes Anon says bad words or things that are unhealthy. We’re here to laugh at Anon, not agree or get angry.”

      If there only was a way not to read screenshots from one of the most racist websites on earth only to find gasp racism. Sadly there is none.

    The community seems split on this one lol. Makes me think that some of the people who subscribed to this community literally don’t know what a greentext is. Which is nothing new; I made this months ago:

    Personally, it takes the fun out of creating OC because I like making edgier memes but there’s no community for it here. And even if something does make people laugh and get upvoted, the mods will take it down. (For example, I made a meme about a pregnant alcoholic mother and it got taken down. Like really? We can’t make abortion jokes?) So fuck it, I mainly just repost now. If you can’t beat em join em.

      It seems like some people who aren’t familiar with greentexts don’t quite get the point of the community. You read the ramblings of Anon like you would watch animals at the zoo, which is different than endorsing everything Anon says.

      And you shouldn’t. Anon is usually deranged.

      Some bad words and unhealthy opinions are bound to make an appearance. In that case, you’re supposed to be dumbfounded at how Anon thinks/acts, shake your head, and maybe get a guilty chuckle out of it. Like the sidebar says, if you’re getting angry while reading these, you’re probably doing it wrong.

    At least a couple of Kitboga’s calls have originated in India, but all the characters he plays are as upstanding as they come. Except for this one time at Dave & Buster’s. Kit:

    • never wishes for the plague
    • always respects all varieties of English
    • always respects that not everyone calling everyone else is US-based
    • never uses slurs, and Kit’s
    • never gonna give you up

      Kitboga’s “more Kitboga” channel has gotten me through so many work days. He’s one of the most insanely funny and talented dudes I’ve never seen.

          That’s fair. Most people would see a 36-hour series of a guy talking to scammers and nope directly out, before learning that the guy is actually nine different people at once basically doing some light psychological torture to some really evil people.

          I cannot wait for CrowPro.

    The problem with using dehumanising language like this is that it means that someone’s humanity, in your eyes, is contingent on your approval.

    It says more about you as a person than it does about the people you criticise.

      Fuck that. I don’t care where they’re from. Scammers don’t deserve to be treated with respect or dignity. They are subhuman trash and ruin people’s lives.

          I don’t see how it’s any different from calling Russians “Ivan” of Germans “Fritz”. It’s not a nice thing to do but I’d place it pretty far down on the racism scale tbh.

          While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They’re far below animals.

          I prefer the term “demihuman” or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.

          Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.

          Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I’m saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.

              I’m a bit lost. I didn’t justify using racist terms. I’m saying that scammers lack the core traits of humanity, compassion and care in others.

              And they don’t deserve anything, let alone feeling comfortable in a conversation, or the air they breathe.

              That is regardless of race, sex, gender. If you scam someone else, you don’t deserve life.
