    It’s a slur applied for (debatable) comedic effect. Text implies “*[slur for black person]*man”.

    It’s racist. But since it’s presented in joke form with a veneer of irony we are supposed to let it slide.

      Ah. Yeah I would never have gotten that from the image. “debatable” indeed.

      “lol racism funni”

      Spot on with home lander being the one to do it though.

      But we absolutely should not let it slide. Shameful that the mods let this blatant dogwhistling stay up, and we know they’ve seen the post because they’ve already removed a comment in here calling it out. Sure it was disrespectful as shit but honestly justifiably so.

      I’m honestly at the verge of getting off my ass and writing up the admins at this point, I don’t want this place becoming a nazi bar.
