Highly inappropriate comment in a knitting post, you mongoloid.
Way to tell them they're being inappropriate... With a racial slur. Smh
Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was equivalent to “Neanderthal” but just looked it up. I won’t use it again.
Hell yeah. If it makes you feel better your not the only one to have incorrectly thought that.
What on earth was the word?
Detectives assemble! Something that could be confused as similar to Neanderthal, but isn't. I'm guessing mongoloid?
You guessed correctly. It is not always a slur, more a description in an anachronistic method of defining human ‘races’, but is apparently a slur used against autistic people and therefore has been deleted from my mental vocabulary.
And I was about to comment I felt relieved to no langer have horny redditors around lmao
Some of us are horny, but don't write unnecessary horny comments.
Stay on Reddit you perv.
The latter remark was very unnecessary, too.
Thank goodness we’re actually deleting this filth instead of with the other site that would be spammed full of “lol horni upvote
On topic, as a passerby from all, that is really fuckin impressive
So disheartening that even on a smaller community with a supposedly mature userbase there are still people that think it's normal to leave comments like this. The number of upvotes you received does not inspire confidence in the fediverse community to be any better than Reddit.
Nothing stops bad actors from joining a lemmy, his total votes is still negative which is a good tell it's not being tolerated.
Humans are gonna human, unfortunately. It’s our downfall.
