Censoring the title makes the word worse than it is. Change my mind.

I tried posting it uncensored but it doesn't allow me

Find a new instance. Lemmy.ml is pro-tankie. That alone is a good excuse to jump ship.

Some instances have automod for certain words. OP was just trying to post without getting caught in the filters. Be angry at the instances, not the OP.

Agreed. Also why didn't OP censor every mention of it in the picture. I'm deeply offended /s

I think in a way thats the point.

Here in middle east/Arabic counties ppl call black people slaves and dont mean just as an insult. it is so common that as i kid i thought it was a name of a tribe

I think it was originally a racist thing but it got so ingrained into our culture it kind of isn’t anymore.
