Hiro could you please unfilter t b h? It actually has a legitimate use in discussions, it's just a short form of the phrase "to be honest". If t b h is going to be filtered then "lol" or "btw" or any other abbreviations should be filtered. I believe it's stifling free speech to filter t b h.
>>381445
Is is really that hard to type out "to be honest"?
>>381445
>it's stifling free speech to filter t b h
>>381449
Even "honestly" is isn't that long and bit doesn't make you sound like a a fag either.
>>381445
You never needed t b h in the first place, so man up and use proper English.
>>381451
All wordfilters stifle free speech. If you don't see that then you've obviously been here to long and lost contact with reality.
desu baka senpai cuck
>>381445
I say leave it desu senpai
Remove cuck and baka head though
>>381461
You've yet to describe how filtering a convenient abbreviation is stiftling free speech. No, "You've lost touch with reality if you don't agree with my opinion" is not an argument.
>>381445
Use "imo" instead.
>>381476

Fucking god can't anybody stop reddit from influencing Hiro's decisions. He's going to run this site to the ground if this shit keeps up.
Tbh is to a Brit as "eh" is to a Canadian, as "cunt" is to an Australian, and as "I love african semen" is to a Swede.
Filtering Tbh isn't just against freedom of speech, it's discrimination again Britons.
This anti-Albion racism needs to end.
Why can't you just type like a normal person? Why do you have to type like a complete retard?
>>381445
4chan isn't about "free speech," you stupid fuck.

>>381569
It is actually you fucking cuck. 4chan was built as a bastion a free speech. Nobody gives a fuck if your libtard feelings are hurt cuckboy.
>>381515
How is it retarded? It's just an abbreviation mate. Us brits use t b h quite a lot in conversation actually. Or are you trying to say we're retarded?
>>381445
How is that harmful to free speech? You can just write "to be honest" if you really want to say that.
Cuck was the most problematic out of all the filtered words. It was arguably the only one that actually needed filtering.
Hiro can you please do a wacky wordfilter for "problematic"?
No leave those filtered. However I would also add a filter to Reddit and change it to Gaia
>>381946
Actually the niggerspeak ones were the most abused
>>381946
t bh and the butchering of family were way worse than cuck especially when they were used in conjunction with one another
>>381959
They should just randomize tumblr reddit /pol/ and whatever else.
>>381983
Reddit is the most abused word on here now. It has to get filtered to something
>I can't talk like a nigger anymore
>CENSORSHIP CENSORSHIP
Goddamn. Please don't listen to these cancerous faggots, Hiro. I'd hate to see this stupid nigger bullshit being on every board again.
4chan has always had funny wordfilters like these. They're part of our tradition. "Free speech" has nothing to do with it. Please keep them.

these wordfilters aren't even funny though desu, they actually are even more obnoxious than ladposting to me
I want shit like the old /b/ filters back, not these retarded half-assed filters made to appease you deluded meme elitist faggots

Ayyy spot the SJW.

>4chan was built as a bastion a free speech
The fact that people have been getting banned for what they say since the site's creation just trumps your entire point. It's pretty obvious that you've been here less than a year.

>4chan was built as a bastion a free speech.

Suiseiseki also uses desu as a part of her natural vocabulary, what your point?

Shit forced meme nipped in the bud? Actually feels like the first time mods have been doing their job in years.
Forced memes used to be looked down on, now fucking morons keep pushing them because they think that's the way it should be.
>>382034
>nipped in the bud
I've seen no decrease in its usage on boards I frequent since the filters began, really.
And how the fuck was it even forced? baka and senpai maybe, but desu seemed to pretty naturally spread out of /brit/ onto the rest of the site at large.
>>382042
>I've seen no decrease in its usage on boards I frequent since the filters began, really.
Guess we don't visit the same boards but for a few weeks before the filters I remember sometimes seeing it in every other post whatever it made sense or not. People are trying bypass the filters and post alternatives but it's losing momentum due to lack of consensus.
>And how the fuck was it even forced? baka and senpai maybe
Basically answered yourself, desu might have been caught in the crossfire but I also don't see any reason this would spread to other boards if people didn't force it.
>>382053
> I also don't see any reason this would spread to other boards if people didn't force it.
I don't really think so, it's the same way that you now see "t." outside of /int/ a lot, /int/ posters just get used to saying it on /int/ and then post it on other boards, then it gradually spreads from there until it's almost board-agnostic.
>>382074
>it's the same way that you now see "t."
Never seen it, doesn't seem to be used all that much on /int/ either.
>then post it on other boards, then it gradually spreads from there until it's almost board-agnostic.
And people using memes outside of context or that have no context and idiots parroting it without understanding it thinking the funny is in the repetition are what create forced memes, and as I said this kind of shit used to be looked down on, now people embrace it and think it's the apex of internet culture and humor.
>>381461
>All wordfilters stifle free speech
>filtering a almost meaningless word to something just as meaningless if GETTING IN THE WAY OF MUH FREE SPEECH
Yea, no. A spam filter is getting in the way of 'free speech', a word filter that changes one word to another isn't
>>381614
>Brits
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying
>>382112
>Never seen it, doesn't seem to be used all that much on /int/ either.
Sounds like you never go to /int/ or any large board then. It's not super common by any means, but I see it reasonably often.
>And people using memes outside of context or that have no context and idiots parroting it without understanding it thinking the funny is in the repetition are what create forced memes
There's lots of retarded shit posted and parroted on this site without "context" every day, yet nobody is bitching about Spurdo Sparde or OP's pic which has absolutely no relation to the content of his post.
t b h, as 4chan users have utilized it, is a rhetorical device signaling dismissive irony. To sarcastically put "t b h" at the end of a sentence signifies "What I'm saying should be obvious to you. If it's not, then you're an idiot and I'm laughing at you for it."
Is that a bizarre concept to you?
/qa/ is easily the worst board on this site now.
>>382580
>worse than /a/
you're pushing it m8
>>381995
tbh was never a nigger phrase, and if that was the goal of the filters then they should have filtered "based."
>>382607
There's no way to do that without filtering legitimate uses of based, like "Based on what you just said, I've decided to admit that I'm wrong."

What's wrong with connecting with our weeb roots?
>>382759
I'm a weeb myself but I'm also a fan of talking like a young adult urban black person. Every word has its uses. Desu for quirkiness, baka to call out fools, senpai for that special someone.
What's wrong with filtering those words? If there's a random "this desu senpai" in your post, it's obvious what you were trying to say. It's not censorship because it in no way stops you from expressing yourself.
>cuckservative
Seriously, when the fuck did cuckolding get so mainstream?
I will say that leave capitalized "KEK" filtered is pretty smart because that's almost always pure shitposting.

The entire reason 4chan came into existence was to get away from normal people like you.
How about you fuck off back to your favourite social media platform and be as normal as normal can be?
You are part of the reason why 4chan rapidly turned into nothing but fucking hiveminds after 2008. Kill yourself nigger. (*ﾟｰﾟ)=○)ﾟOﾟ)
This isn't fucking Twitter just type TO BE HONEST you shit fucking faggot
>>381995
You're the same type of person who would be having an autism fit if they started censoring nigger
