i mean, bro, you're being racist as fuck in that other thread.
i'm not from hexbear, you gonna start a thread about kbin, now, too?
Oh boy, don't get me started on kbin. Soooo much spam. About 90% of our spam reports (for actual spam) are for kbin.social posts, and I presume the reports don't federate to kbin so I just remove it from our view and then it stays on kbin 🙁
Seriously if you have a suggestion I'd love to hear it. There are too many thoughtful kbin participants to consider defederation. But oh boy is the spam annoying.
Kbin is still being built, I'd suggest you get someone over there to flag this issue with their dev team.
It's really not hard to remember. You'd only think that if you didn't try to say it once even. Papakanghorohoro or something
you literally only missed an a in kanga
i didn't have to look it up to know this
you know why? because i already knew the word papa and horohoro is the same fucking sound repeated twice. there is no possible reason this could be anything other than racist. i'm not from new zealand and i learned the word in fifteen seconds and i know fucking no te reo besides te reo, maori, haka and fucking PAPAKANGAHOROHORO
The term "racist" gets thrown about with so little though these days, it's effectively meaningless.
or maybe people keep calling you that for a very good reason: you're a fucking racist
what other reason could you have for denying the legitimacy of one of your country's official languages? why would you be othering it?
you're a fucking racist. own it or fix it, but either way shut the fuck up.
Dude, you desperately need to chill the fuck out.
Oh yeah? What are some other examples of things people call racist, which aren't?
I only ever see racist people saying this
There it is again.
Are you even gonna try and prove me wrong?
I don't care enough about your opinion to go to that amount of effort.
I'm not asking you to comment on my opinion. The evidence for that is in the fact i did not offer my opinion.
There's plenty of names that are a nightmare to say in other languages, it's not about the language, it's that it will be an ongoing headache for the residents of the street.
And frankly, I think their voice is the most important one, because they're the ones living here.
cool. how is papakangahorohoro hard to say or hard to remember? i literally just typed it from memory and i've seen it all of five times before. i know no te reo besides te reo, haka, maori and PAPAKANGAHOROHORO
"other languages" aren't we talking about one of the OFFICIAL LANGUAGES of New Zealand? yeah bro, you're racist as fuck.
Wait, the people living in a place are the most important voices? Jesus fucking Christ the irony.
Have another muffin.
