I keep seeing removed in a lot of comments and posts and my question is why is that?

    For a short while, the lemmynsfw server used a slur list that, in order to catch all the variations, only used the first syllable. It resulted in words like ‘toremovedht’ and ‘hot and removedy’.

    It was pleasantly nostalgic, with memories of Fark and its attractive and successful African-Americans.

      Reminds me of when bOINGbOING started using “disemvowelment” on comments the mods flagged. The comment remained but all vowels were removed.
