Oh yeah I sort of get that. I was having a good evening going home to see my girlfriend, went to grab a few beers after work at the gas station and smiled at someone. The guy got pissed and said “what are you looking at removed?” I was like where did that come from. And I’m not scrawny or anything, especially compared to that shrimp.
I guess the “slur” got modded out but I think it should have been left in to show what I mean, instead of a man looks at another man having a good evening and smiles, then gets called a slur. Some of these mental gymnastics are exhausting. It’s something that happened to me in person, I don’t know why it should be turned a blind eye to… was it necessary to censor it?–I mean I’m new here.

God damn, at least where I live outward hostility is as frowned upon as any other social interactions.
That why I like staying in Japan and Korea.

It was not necessary. It was fucking stupid.
I’m not a fan of over policing, reddit became that way and no one liked that.
It looks like an automod that redacts words. This is the biggest instance and a popular community, so I’m not too surprised by it.
I see.
Disgusting. Automoderation is assinine. Robots don’t get to tell humans what to say.
