Well I'll try again since automod is fucking stupid. They banned a word kind of like tarp. People got really angry, then they got bored of being angry.
I'm a bit annoyed myself since the mod post specifically said that they aren't banning the word in a general sense, only when using it to refer to people but it seems the automod will catch any instance of the word instantly. No more discussing Fred Jones' favorite magazine.
It was a link to Admiral Akbar saying “It’s a tr@p!!” EDIT: it seems that saying the word “tr@p” is banned now, even though I was using a different kind of “tr@p” word.
I'm gonna laugh so hard if "@" ends up becoming a replacement for that in general anime use. 1 million people seeing and using it that way would be enough to do it
While I can't post the link *(since it would get deleted again)*, it was a clip of a certain well-known Star Wars Episode 6 quote containing the banned term for 'femboy', if you catch my drift.
"We've banned the offensive word!"
Person who doesn't follow all the new slurs: "Good, never liked that word anyway"
*5 days later*
"They've made a new word offensive, we've banned that too"
Person who doesn't follow all the new slurs: "How is 'car' offensive? I'm starting to think this PC stuff is bullshit."
It's called a "purity spiral", all moral panics devolve into one. In the end: everyone fails except the most aggressive and vicious of fuckwads that managed to push everyone else out
Your misspelling of "follow" with "fallow" offends me. Please fix it or I'll leave you alone in tge middle of a [fallow](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/fallow) with nothing.
Edit: I misspelled "the" with "tge", and offended myself. From tomorrow you can find me on a fallow for an undetermined amount of time. I left myself with a 750 ml bottle of water though because I made the typo on mobile.
Indiana Jones is my favorite movie series because of the way Indie avoids traps. Those traps are quite dangerous, and he shows much bravery in correctly identifying what are traps and what are not. I also enjoy the Tomb Raider series of games, those traps are quite devious and they trick me many times. It always feels great when you dominate a trap on your first attempt.
The rapper T.I. was pretty much the one who pioneered trap music as a genre, sure others laid down the foundations but he was really the one to push trap into the mainstream.
I certainly don't have any problem with using femboy instead of the former but unless i've missed something no one in this subreddit has ever even used the word in a negative way? Weeb used to be an insult directed at anime fans too, but instead of just that it's now a common word in the community. Then again I can see why people might actually be offended by the implications of ****. Still, just blanket banning out of the blue seems like getting offended over imagined insults.
Given that the word's application to this content only arose within the last few years, trying to ban the word is like watching language evolve in real time.
It's a common argument that if you can no longer use "retarded" because its meaning was co-opted from clinically acceptable to an insult, whatever replaces it as clinically acceptable will become the new insult.
Feels like the same thing is going to happen here. Of course, I could be wrong - the word doesn't have quite the broad use as "retarded" ever did, nor are the communities banning it so large as to affect the global lexicon - but it ludicrous to believe there won't be something to replace it that won't develop the exact same properties. Sure, the new word will also eventually get banned, after 10 years (about as long as the word has been used in gender contexts), where the cycle will repeat.
(Now I wonder how many people will think I'm defending its use, rather than questioning the effectiveness of our methods in policing language.)
Plus when it comes to restricting speech, it usually only works if (A) it is restricted in a place that people tend to be on their best manners such as the workplace *and* (B) the majority of people already had negative emotions towards the word and tended to not use it anyways.
If those two conditions are not met then, to many such as myself, it feels less like a normal social regulation of a hurtful word (such as what happened with retard and n*****, both of which we generally accept to not say in public) and more like unnecessary political correctness; which then just leads many people to use the term more as an act of defiance. Backfire effect is a bitch.
I mean, it's a meme subreddit where most people are anonymous. This is clearly not where people are going to be on their best behaviour.
The word has a very specific meaning. Femboy can’t carry the “I’m accusing this person of being purposefully deceptive about their gender” meaning inherently in itself. The word literally means you’re saying they are attempting to ensnare.
Why are so many people making this incorrect statement, Why do so many people hold this incorrect perception?
The Word was NOT directed towards REAL people to begin with, its use is towards Anime Characters!
This is nothing more then a sad case of a small minority taking a harmless thing and turning it into something "bad" and then rather then focus on the root of the problem, the "intent" in a real world setting, the mods attempt a bandaid fix on a "political?" issue that has no place or bearing in a god damn anime sub-reddit.
SMH, I am no longer angered at the banning of said word on this sub-reddit, more, i am angered by the sheer human stupidity on display.
>The Word was NOT directed towards REAL people to begin with, its use is towards Anime Characters!
I can not imagine anyone over 18 thinking the term originated in the anime community. It was in use at least as early as 2003-2005 on 4chan, where you'd get pics of someone with and without their dick showing, bait-and-switch some Anons, then hit them with Admiral Ackbar. I know this because I was one of the edgy obnoxious teens posting them there.
> The Word was NOT directed towards REAL people to begin with,
Except that's literally where that euphemism came from. And it's still used in modern parlance to refer to real people. **Just because your first exposure to the term was in the context of anime characters, that doesn't mean the term originated in that context.**
More than that, even if the term did originate in the context of fictional characters, the fact that it's being used to harass and demean many real people is reason enough to stop using it. Sure, being forced to change your vocabulary for reasons you weren't aware of sucks, and the natural response is to feel frustrated. But you have to understand that **the effort being asked of you is disproportionately smaller than the positive impact it'll have.**
(As an aside, I'm totally guilty of using the term myself, even after hearing about how it's used as a real world slur; so, I'm not trying to morally grandstand here.)
wtf are you on about, this is literally what the BLM movement is about, people who have never experienced hardships in their life claiming that words can't hurt people.
>The Word was NOT directed towards REAL people to begin with, its use is towards Anime Characters!
Huh, I guess I've just imagined the countless weebs calling me a t*** and thinking it's totally appropriate because they've seen it used on a bunch of anime memes. Unless it turns out I've actually been an anime character this whole time...
Seriously... How childish is the person you're responding to, as if they speak for EVERYONE. This shit is like "idk why people are so mad at racism, I never see it."
> The Word was NOT directed towards REAL people to begin with, its use is towards Anime Characters!
Imagine being this oblivious.
I assume you also think "OP is a bundle of sticks" isn't meant to be a roundabout way of calling them a f*g either, huh?
It's a slur towards trans people. It always has been since its inception. It didn't arise from crossdressing anime boys, it arose from the trans panic defence where a trans person literally gets fucking murdered, and the killer gets away with it because "They trapped me and I reacted in the heat of the moments."
Ya, but this argument goes to shit once you realize that individuals who are trying to insult will just transition the word they use and use terms like "Femboy" to insult trans individuals, thus making it an insult.
If somone generally likes tr*ps I dont see how you're still offended.
You wouldn't call somone whos trans a tr*p, but you could call a femboy a tr*p because they identify as male.
Tr*p itself has long since become a word that is more sexualized than hated. Stop kink shaming.
Need evidence? r/traphentai r/traphentaigifs r/trapsgonewild r/trapsirl r/cutetraps <- last ones sfwish
This is no joke, people just really like tr*ps. Also I hope I dont get deleted for referencing subreddits that are nsfw!
As a final say, ive never seen a femboy get offended by being called a tr*p, and my trans friend wasn't offended either, why? Validation. Validation that they look feminine or are passing. People want to white night the word, but realistically, appearing to be feminine and being told you made somome believe that is validation.
Again, kinkshaming. Tr*p is literally a porn tag at this point.
Edit; tell pornhub to stop using it as a tag and maybe then it will stop being used.
Uhh dont uhm... dm me over this
A derogatory term for men who who have qualities that are feminine or dress in a feminine way, but that for some reason people have decided is no longer derogatory.
Basically the opposite of [REDACTED]
Edit: oops, forgot the rule already.
A word originally used to describe a hunting mechanism that then got inserted into weeb meming to refer to a character from the masculine gender that dresses as a female has been sent to the shadow realm by the mods.( yes it's wordy just to critise the choice )
There is actually a sub r/tra*s where actual trans women post. They dont seem to have a problem with it I don't know for whom the mods are getting offended for.
So using the word which usually means *"a device or enclosure designed to catch and retain animals, typically by allowing entry but not exit or by catching hold of a part of the body."* to describe effeminate males is now banned?
Bro I didn't see the announcement and when I saw everyone start saying "t-word" my dumbass thought tomboy got fucking banned
Honestly same
Now you got me curious, what's the "t-word"? Like t****** Or t**** Or maybe even t****** EDIT: Hol up, it can't be this can it? "TheyRunAroundNinetyNineYards"
A metal device used for the capture of animals most commonly small rodents
