Thank goodness I didn't see the word removed. That would send me to the hospital.

Say fuck as much as you want, but I don't see why people are mad about censoring a slur

We shouldn't censor words. Bad habit. The only way to get rid of slurs and 'bad words' is to remove their power. Acting like the word for a meat product is Voldemort isn't helping anyone. Especially as LGBT use it amongst ourselves anyway.

Glad to see lemmy would get their tipex out and censor all of the N words out of To Kill A Mockingbird. Good job guys, you ended bigotry.

Sorry, a f*ggot is a meatball made from offal. It's a traditional UK dish and you see it on menus semi frequently in British cuisine restaurants.

Also fag is a cigarette. Both are in use.

removed is American English and homophobes in the UK preferred the term poof so they could eat their removeds for dinner.

Yeah, nobody likes removed words! Fuck them!

In all seriousness though, I have no idea about what you meant there ๐Ÿ˜œ

He typed f*ggot, but it was removed buy a word filter.
