According to ANSA, Francis repeated the term on Tuesday as he met Roman priests, saying "there is an air of removed ness in the Vatican," and it was better that young men with a homosexual tendency not be allowed to enter the seminary.

Edit: lemmy replaced the slur with "removed", i just wanted to post the context anyway

it's a instance filter?

I don't really know. It was the first time this happened. The slur was in the text i copied and after submitting it was changed.

Edit: i just took a look in the lemmy docs and my client's settings, didn't find anything related. Anyway it seems to be a global filter and should affect all submissions, which is nice.

Lol, old man gonna old man I guess.

It's a funny thing, though. My dad is an old man, and I've never heard him use a homophobic slur.

[–] sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

thats probably because he wasnt used to saying them when he was younger

also people's mental health varies and your dad might still have better mental health

It seems ableist to assume someone's mental health is what causes homophobia

My grandpa had dementia when he died and thought I was his brother, and I also never heard him say queerphobic words

Tbh the word he used is not that bad, or at least is used in many contexts in informal conversation, but only in very few I would consider it a "slur". I wouldn't say it translates well to English.

The pope is a queerphobe though and he should perish

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Pope dying unfortunately only means another one will come. I wish it was this easy...

Unsurprising.

still funny to me.

kids rooting for fucking hamas - but they openly hate gays, womenrights, trans...well everything. say hamas is a POS and any thread derails.

pope does the same shit those christian-fruitloops did for 2000 years and people think an ANSA report was an enlightment. wtf? religion = shit. always has been. each and every one of them.

and now there'll be plenty of ppl saying thats not true, not to generalize, dont hate on ppl. just to cry out when the religions do what they always do - hate the others. or as the fruitloops call it "speading love" like an israeli settler, ISIS or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. why would your church need 200billion dollars (e.g.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)? if you believe in the god of any religion how can you not be an asshole for claiming to know better than everyone else just based on your shitty beliefs??

fuck religion. fuck hamas, the prophet, jesus and the pope. any in that regard any entity of any religion.

kids rooting for fucking hamas

Lol no

[–] theilleist@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Actually, you can disapprove of both hamas and the murder of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians. Simultaneously. Without self-contradiction, even. Give it a try!
