Iirc, lemmy.ml is a specifically leftist instance, right? They may have banned the word because of its sexist nature. A bit like allowing fuck, but not allowing the other f word that generally applies to gay men. Swearing isn’t the issue, slurs or derogatory terms are.

Well, I can only see “removed” instead of whatever you were trying to convey.

Just fyi, i used the w word because it is the most accurate translation. Hurensohn means Sohn einer Hure, Son einer Hure, Son of a Hure, Son of a removed

A lot of translations of “Spez ist ein hurensohn” translates to “Spez is a son on of a bitch” – although “hurensohn” is more literally “whore’s son”

Edit: Seems like it’s just your instance (lemmy.ml)

slurs in general are not allowed on lemmy.ml

Changing it to “removed” instead just drives the euphemism treadmill faster, people will find ways to say the same without those specific words. Whether something is a slur is also very context-dependent. Something computers as of yet aren’t well equipped to handle.
