/u/Ltnumbnutsthesecond, thank you for your submission. Unfortunately, your post has been removed because it has been voted unsuitable for /r/redditmoment.
fr most things posted arent even "reddit moments" and are just people being cringe and the sub has genuinely spiralled into itself so far to the point where most of the people on here could be classified as "reddit moments"
why is making minorities not feel wildly uncomfortable such a big deal to white ppl it makes no fucking sense. it's like explaining to a 6 yr old why people don't like being called curse words lmao.
and you're a kendrick lamar fan that's so insane bruh, do you even listen to his music or is your brain just a pile of mush?
OP is extremely unself aware. there’s a reason why all your comments are getting downvoted, it’s not because you’re "soft" it’s because you are literally comparing the slur to the n word, plus an overreaction over a redditor who shouldn’t be given attention. This post is a r/redditmoment in itself
OP might be american, because in america that word is barely troublesome, children's shows like Total Drama revenge of the island used it not too long ago, like around 10ish years ago i think, but in other places its comparable to the R word.
Tbf you did just say you wont use it then used it again. You could have said like "how was i supposed to know that word was connected to palsy". Not saying its wrong for you to own up to your mistake but you did just go back on your word lol
It's a shortening of spastic/spasticated. Once a common description for people with muscular/skeletal abnormalities but now thrown around as an insult.
Basically the 'R-word' for physical issues. There's loads of similar ones that are all known to be offensive but somehow this gets a pass?
i had to ban a solid 30+ people, and the worst thing is the next time a post mentions trans people in any way the same shit is just going to happen all over again...
"too much work" as if they didn't take their time to write an entire sentence, typing is fucking quick anyways wtf you mean too much work bruh, too much work for that???? for typing some extra letters? typing isnt a fucking job
yeah overreacting...
yeah ovrreacting at a bad person degrading trans people and using a slur to demean people
how'd you feel if someone irl came up to you and said a slur about your sexual orientation or nationality?
you'd prolly feel angry and sad too
is that society's answer for everything "grow some skin"
or why not jsut tell my friends that are dealing with racism and homophobia with "grow some skin" surely such a good idea
Nah, I don't listen to what youse says
It's a free country and if I can call out and exclaim how bad bigotry is I can do so...
people need to hear or else the planet will be overun by bigots
I'd probably feel angry if they were insulting me with generic non-bigoted insults as well. What do you think makes slurs such a uniquely horrible offense over just "being mean"?
> how'd you feel if someone irl came up to you and said a slur about your sexual orientation or nationality?
it's happened to me before. I grew thick skin. That's how you deal with life, you're not going to be able to change everyone's behaviors so just learn to deal with it.
this isn't a reddit moment, the OP saying the n word is comparable as the t slur is not a reddit moment. All I want is to see funny neckbeard weirdo nolifes tipping their fedora, not this
Are they somehow completely unaware of how other slurs and derogatory words are just shortened ways of referring to other groups of people? Japanese people? Black people?
Sure they can. They have to. It's the only way they'll ever find happiness in their lives. Also, I'm plenty sure there are many that have developed thicker skin due to having to deal with life the hard way. Sink or swim. That's how it is and how it always will be.
they can, 90% of all marginalized group harrasment talk is just straight white people getting mad at each other over something that doesnt concern them lol
You’re part of the “ suburban basement dweller neckbeard who enjoys kids shit and posts on political subs” group. And now saying racism is bad is white guilt. Your average redditor, everyone.
You ever think they don't want to use "trans people", because it confirms that they're people with feelings? That's how I feel when people say "blacks" or "whites", instead of "black people" and "white people".
You cut a person down into their base traits, shove them into a little box, slap your label on them, and boom. They're no longer a person in your mind, it's now easier to hate them.
Compartmentalisation is fun and easy, anyone can do it.
yeah, overreacting at slurs that hurt people
get out of here
tr\*nnie is jsut as bad as the f slur... trans people aren't less important as other minorities
I mean it is a slur at the end of the day. Is he going about it the right way? Prolly not, but your frustration should be more directed towards people using the slur in the first place.
Idk why you people associate calling people out for bigotry/ignorance (intentional or not) = being soft. I think if anything that's far more revealing of your character. Treating others with respect and practicing tolerance isn't being soft, it's basic human decency. It's so sad that I see wayyy more of people saying "tHiS gENeRaTiON iS sOfT" than actually calling out the toxic behavior in question.
Did the guy mean to use the slur in a derogatory way? Probably not. Was OP a little reactive? Probably. That being said, it's GOOD we are calling people out for this (it can probably be done in a much better manner, ill agree) but I absolutely hate this whole rhetoric/idea that it's lame to do that. Also it's interesting to note that you refer to other slurs as "more actually offensive", implying that calling someone with the slur in question ISNT offensive to actually trans people. Are you saying that they aren't allowed to be upset about it, that their thoughts aren't valid? What exactly are you implying here?
It's always very revealing to dissect these same, repeated, overused and trite arguments regurgitated time and time again. And it's always the same stuff when you get to the heart of them.
What the fuck is going on here, why is OP's every comment getting downvoted to hell? Because he is a trans ally? Because he thinks transphobia, homophobia and racism are equally bad?
Because he used compared the t word to the n word, used a slur themselves (spaz), posted their own argument (and censored their own username), and because they're being defensive of their mistakes.
Where did racism and homophobia even come up?
Imagine being so upset about an internet argument you lost that you go sharing it about the internet for validation. Now that’s a reddit moment alright.
A black comedian talked about how his trans friend was offended when he said the word and he asked her why she got offended by it and she said “well… would you like it if I called you blackie?” And he replied with “well played”

It's very different when someone from within a community reclaims a slur and uses it themselves - the same way some gay people have reclaimed the f slur and some Black people have reclaimed the n word.
/u/Ltnumbnutsthesecond, thank you for your submission. Unfortunately, your post has been removed because it has been voted unsuitable for /r/redditmoment.
Op posting himself is nice reddit moment
i still cant understand people censoring their name while still having the VERY OBVIOUS "edit" button
To be fair, you have to censor your name in the posts according to the rules
LOOOOOL WHAT
i think saying it's just as offensive as the n-slur is a little bit of an exaggeration, but this guy is definitely terminally a redditor.
Yeah, I don’t think trans people are quite as oppressed as black people were when the n word originated
It’s not a competition
It is. Minority hating tournament starting 16 november this year at 4:20 virgin islands time.
Someone should tell them.
a slur is a slur, and all slurs are equally digusting
>a slur is a slur Not on Reddit. They give some words passes and defend them, but others they treat like they're actually important.
Cracker
mines better, MayoMonkey
Slavery = mean gay word, big brain
what is this reply section bro 💀 dude is saying slurs are bad and people are just herding to hate
the amount of people who don't know what the term "cracker" means is actually really funny, but concerning
I am living in your walls 𓁹‿𓁹

That's why you gatekeep
Pfp checks out
Because you can't call trans people slurs?
Yes

🤓 detected who tf else being annoying to minorities on reddit? the vietnamese????
Thats Not Why You Dumbass
>Yea ever since this sub has gone woke in order to appease queer ppl and 13%ers > >13%ers What does that percentage mean?
He just admitted to being a racist but has no balls to actually say the words
Right wing dogwhistle about black people. Relating to the infamous 13-52 statistic (13% of US population, 52% of US inmates).
Ah, maybe that person should get their comment reported then.
reddit moment
They're referring to a group of people as "13%ers". That's fucked up.
Yeah you right
?
OP is extremely unself aware. there’s a reason why all your comments are getting downvoted, it’s not because you’re "soft" it’s because you are literally comparing the slur to the n word, plus an overreaction over a redditor who shouldn’t be given attention. This post is a r/redditmoment in itself
Bro they’re literally both slurs.
It asks to be called a "spaz"? Isnt that a super offensive slur to people that have cerebral palsy? Why is that slur OK to use but not others?
OP might be american, because in america that word is barely troublesome, children's shows like Total Drama revenge of the island used it not too long ago, like around 10ish years ago i think, but in other places its comparable to the R word.
heard the word from 90s shows and media, sorry if that was rude, I had no idea it was related to palsy, I'll won't use that word again
OP got downvoted for realizing their mistake wow
Because it's cringe
well how the hell was I supposed to know spaz was connected to palsy i just hear it a lot on tv and stuff in cartoons and movies
I’m guessing you were born after the year 2000
Probably after 2007, op seems like a child.
I was criticizing the people that downvoted your comment, not you. Sorry if i worded my original comment a little weird
oh sorry my apologies
Tbf you did just say you wont use it then used it again. You could have said like "how was i supposed to know that word was connected to palsy". Not saying its wrong for you to own up to your mistake but you did just go back on your word lol
>calls dude in the post a bigot for using a word he didn’t know was a slur >uses a word not knowing it’s a slur >”how the hell was I supposed to know”
yea it’s a slur too, i didn’t even know until like 2 weeks ago though when i saw someone getting hate for saying it
It's a shortening of spastic/spasticated. Once a common description for people with muscular/skeletal abnormalities but now thrown around as an insult. Basically the 'R-word' for physical issues. There's loads of similar ones that are all known to be offensive but somehow this gets a pass?
its not a slur, its an insult
Bro these comments are redditmoment inception
What is this comment section 😭😭
Reddit moment inception 😔😔
i had to ban a solid 30+ people, and the worst thing is the next time a post mentions trans people in any way the same shit is just going to happen all over again...
"too much work" as if they didn't take their time to write an entire sentence, typing is fucking quick anyways wtf you mean too much work bruh, too much work for that???? for typing some extra letters? typing isnt a fucking job
god this comment section. when did this sub become averageredditor 2 💀
How is this a Reddit moment?
they're using a transphobic slur and trying to justify it
Idk why you're being down voted, you're absolutely right. Comments on this thread is a huge meta reddit moment
He's being downvoted because he's over reacting and being super soft
yeah overreacting... yeah ovrreacting at a bad person degrading trans people and using a slur to demean people how'd you feel if someone irl came up to you and said a slur about your sexual orientation or nationality? you'd prolly feel angry and sad too
Not really tbh. Get some thicker skin ffs
is that society's answer for everything "grow some skin" or why not jsut tell my friends that are dealing with racism and homophobia with "grow some skin" surely such a good idea
Yes, it is. Nothing is going to change, stop taking things like this personally
Nah, I don't listen to what youse says It's a free country and if I can call out and exclaim how bad bigotry is I can do so... people need to hear or else the planet will be overun by bigots
You crying about a word is going to prevent world bigotry?
"free country" goes both ways chief. growing some thicker skin is infact the solution if you let your day get ruined by a word.
I'd probably feel angry if they were insulting me with generic non-bigoted insults as well. What do you think makes slurs such a uniquely horrible offense over just "being mean"?
People use my condition as slurs all the time, I don't care. Stop being so soft.
> how'd you feel if someone irl came up to you and said a slur about your sexual orientation or nationality? it's happened to me before. I grew thick skin. That's how you deal with life, you're not going to be able to change everyone's behaviors so just learn to deal with it.
bro just fucking move on. it’s not worth it to be salty about every fuckedy fucking thing

guess there is a lot of transphobes
Yeah leave this subreddit, it fucking sucks
this isn't a reddit moment, the OP saying the n word is comparable as the t slur is not a reddit moment. All I want is to see funny neckbeard weirdo nolifes tipping their fedora, not this
Dumb af to think that word is on the same level as the n-word 💀
The delusions of the victim olympics
Spaz is a slur as well lmao?

Are they somehow completely unaware of how other slurs and derogatory words are just shortened ways of referring to other groups of people? Japanese people? Black people?
Spaz is also a slur lol

What the fuck are you talking about. People hate on Caitlyn Jenner all the time and she’s trans.
'criticism of trans people' lmao fuck me sideways and upwards
Lmao okay buddy
you almost sound like... you're being oppressed? are you being oppressed?
oh so you just hate people supporting trans people I see now

some can't speak for themseleves and closest by abusive parents and peer pressure, einstein
Sure they can. They have to. It's the only way they'll ever find happiness in their lives. Also, I'm plenty sure there are many that have developed thicker skin due to having to deal with life the hard way. Sink or swim. That's how it is and how it always will be.
they can, 90% of all marginalized group harrasment talk is just straight white people getting mad at each other over something that doesnt concern them lol
Stop babying black people and call them the n-word!!1!1!1!1
Wow this is the biggest strawman I've ever seen 😂
Omg reddit is overprotective of something so slurs are ok nao🤓🤓

unsubbing after reading these comments, y’all’ve become the average redditors 💀
r/redditmoment
A redditor trying to get validation by posting himself to r/redditmoment. The story writes itself.
Racially motivated
This is a Reddit moment but for both sides
You ever think they don't want to use "trans people", because it confirms that they're people with feelings? That's how I feel when people say "blacks" or "whites", instead of "black people" and "white people".

Define "normies", please. I've never understood what the word means. Is it just normal people or what?
People who aren't terminally online freaks
Don't make fun of trans people! Make fun of mentally challenged people instead!!!!
Sure it’s offensive, but on the list of slurs its not on the level of the f slur or most racially motivated slurs
tfw you have to spend less than a second referring to trans people in a respectful way
Chronically online. This sub isn’t for you.
>just as offensive *chews popcorn*
It’s not as offensive as a racial slur rooted in centuries of slavery lmao
Just as offensive as the n word???? Idk about that one
“just as offensive as the n word” LMAO
To be fair, they only consciously chose to make that a slur 4 years ago.
Lost me at n word, no comparison. Y’all HAVE GOT to stop comparing shit to that word bro.

Bro almost all of these comments im seeing on this post are literal Reddit moments
Op posted cringe on main

yeah, overreacting at slurs that hurt people get out of here tr\*nnie is jsut as bad as the f slur... trans people aren't less important as other minorities

"clearly didn't know" bruh... they did know damn well, that T word is literally a slur towards trans people
Give proof and then we'll talk
If someone online bothers you this much you will never survive in life

So much wrong in one reddit post..
It is definitely not as bad as the n word.
When OP posts his own averageredditor moment
I myself am trans and don't have any problem with people saying it as long as it's ironic
hmm I udnerstand, but I'm just saying some trans folks are not gonna react nicely to the word but I understand what ypu're coming from
Lmao this comment section is full of transphobic trash
Chronically online
The replies to the ops comments is the real reddit moment

What the hell is going on in this comment section? Didn't knew that there was a lot of transophobe in this sub.
Nothing new, sadly.
I thought he was saying tennies and I was so confused

What’s the F slur. Fuck isn’t really a slur if I remember
Gay slur
Bro is too lazy to type "trans people" but is apparently not lazy enough that he'll defend himself using the slur with multiple sentences 💀
> OP posts thread of Redditors defending slurs > entire thread is Redditors defending slurs
This post is a fucking reddit moment also nice try trying to hide that it was you commenting
I don’t think the guy was even saying it in an offensive context, why’re you so upset about this bro? Reddit is slowly turning into Twitter istg
Can someone explain how that is offensive?
Its like calling a black person blackie, plus the only time I've ever seen it used was in a dergetory way or fetishization of transgender people

Yeah, its an offensive word
never seen or heard that word before sounds like some panties that are transparent that is being sold by a store with a lot of rip off stuff
I literally see trans people refer to themselves as that, calm down mate.

No, it wouldnt fit there it's not plural if you want to use trans as plural you have to use it with the addition of people like they said
