Thanks for the explanation. Not sure that it works though. People who want to spread hate will eventually find a way to do so. Therefore, instead of filtering out certain terms, I´d rather see all the silent readers on the forum eventually raise their voice to show some solidarity and call out racist or sexist behaviour when it happens. It should be our goal to actually prove that little internet trolls are a small group of idiots who act bigger than they are.
no offense dude, but you seem to haven't been on here the last few weeks/months or at least missed the threads and discussions about all this stuff. and to not derail the thread about johan stuckey being a sexual predator and put your nice and very deep suggestions of how you feel protest against racism should be like so it doesn't offend your white middle class sensibilities. i'm sure all the racist trolls that registered here just to shitpost will be super moved to tears and overthink their whole worldview if half slap quotes "i don't stand with racists..." one after another or some corny shit like that.
next thing you tell us that you support protests. but that looting is bad and that you thus don't really support protests. but that you support protest, basically, but you think violence is bad. maybe you wish for non violent protest. whatever.
the scenario with all those wallflowers coming into their own on here to "speak up against racism" is cute, if i was a troll, i'd have a field day. i mean how pathetic is that. my way of dealing with these people is to annoy the fuck outta them and take their space. shitpost back. show them how stupid they are and desecrate their personalities in public. because fuck em. they don't earn a civilized response even when they fake civility. learn to see what is bait, attack full force when they show their true side. because fuck racists.
if slap wants to be an ally against racism, they can give people the option to not have to read slurs that target them. again, optionally. what is so bad about this? free speech is still intact since posts get published for everyone to read and only get blacked out by choice of reader. racists will still be racists but hopefully more moderately if they even try to get their point across, a person who wishes not to bother with them doesn't have to read their shit and be bummed. win/win.
also, constructive criticism is highly appreciated, here is the discussion about current changes to slap. you can leave all your ideas here and the mods will take them into consideration i guess:
