    The best thing about lemmy is that it brings back things like this that I often thought about and really wanted to find again to be able to fill the gaps in my memory, but couldn’t remember enough about it to be able to find on Google.

    Its not the first time it happens to me. Anyway, thanks op. I had given up hope on finding this one again.

    While I always advocate for starving trolls, sometimes feeding them yields hilarious results.

          Fun little tidbit: the word “loanword” itself is a sub-type of a loanword, a calque, which is a word-by-word translation from a word in a different language. It was brought to English from the German “Lehnwort”.

          Loans generally follow the grammar of the host language. English has a plural, it doesn’t have a dative.

          Well, a dative marked by morphology, that is, outside of “him/her/whom”, instead it’s done by word order. Take “The smith gave the miller the hammer”, “the miller” is dative, “the hammer” is accusative, you can’t say “The smith gave the hammer the miller”.

          Also “of a thousand ani” is genitive, marking of that is done with “of” or “'s”.

          As to plural form: English has a gazillion of those: Caboose, cabeese (yay Ablaut!), box, boxen, etc. Some Latin doesn’t hurt.

      Because it breaks Rule 1

      Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.

          A little bit of cultural linguistics going on really. Even though the texts are also calling OOP gay and queer, and doing so with the same amount of vitriol as with the f-slur, they aren’t recognized as emotionally charged in the same way. All the other cursing is not hate speech per se as it’s not directly targeting any immutable characteristics.

          I’m not happy with any of the depicted harassment in the image (fake or not), it just not that funny. If you want to see what happens if you have a descenting opinion though, you can see my massively downvoted post below.

            That’s ridiculous, quoting harassment is in no way itself harassment. That would undo just about every awareness campaign ever.

              Depends on the reason for the quote. Awareness campaigns quote them as examples of what not to do. There is a clear intention to tell the audience “Watch out for this, avoid it, this is wrong.”

              The punchline in this example is an encouragement to harass people because it’s funny.

    the most interesting thing about this is the fact that “removed” is blurred out, but not “gay ass queer”. times have changed and i feel so fucking old.

    e: til you can’t say it on lemmy.

    This is straight up verbal sexual harassment. Why is this being upvoted?

    It breaks Rule 5:

    No content that harasses members within or outside of the community.
