"Free speech!"
Ok tankie.
"Not like that!"
Or more subtly:
I can't even say life's a bitch over there without being filtered because of misogyny which I guess? But that's not my intent and I don't think the majority read it with that connotation. What if I just want to quote a Nas classic?
It gets dumber: last I checked their word filter doesn't pay any regard to a comment's set language so even If I set my comment to French "retard" will be filtered on ml communities and to their users regardless of where I comment.

I'm supposed to get away with doing things
Except nobody use it as an insult in french. Why tf are a bunch of yank telling me how to use my fucking language. Englocentrist much?
It's an english slur filter on an english speaking website.
Are you a fucking moron? You're acting like a fucking moron.
Holy shit look at how much white people want to say the n word. Look at them gnash their teeth in agony over the concept of not being allowed to say the n word. Look at them try to invalidate the idea of not saying the n word with this backdoor shit.
