Canāt say I know a single person IRL that says cringe and based, but I also left schooling behind over a decade ago so Iām not exactly in touch with whatās āHip and happeningā these days.

When Iām with my friends or schoolmates, we used based a lot; but not with my co-workers as it just doesnāt feel right.
Howeverā¦ I use the word cringe when trying to emphasize a point because for some reason, the message just gets across (When using the word cringe).
I mean I am not sure thatās the same situation as with ābruhā, hence the question mark (Iām not from an english speaking country, so people very rarely say ācringeā and ābasedā, but sometimes they do plus words derived from these but in my language), so I donāt think removing those would help at all, just piss people off whenever their entire sentence gets deleted because of that one word.
I have literally never heard the word āDilateā used as an insult, ever. Nor is āSeetheā a slur either. This just reeks of āI found a 2 year old definition on urban dictionary and now I think itās badā

you donāt really hang around shitty corners of the internet if you donāt hear it used in that sense all the time :V
nothing would have even happened had the original player not been so damn defensive and deflective
Was he an antag? If yes then stealing the reflector vest isnāt a deal then, no?
If you want to completely ignore all context, then sure.
As much of a meme that it is, itās also bigoted language.
yo I need the main post to be unlocked because Ike responded to me but I canāt respond back

I never knew that dilate meant something dirty. Even in modern times itās not used for whatever you think itās used for. I learnt the word from ādilated pupilsā.
Words have context and meaning related to that context.
We arenāt saying itās inherently a slur or a hate term, but the context makes that unquestionable.
This argument over āold definitionsā and strict dictionary definitions is not going anywhere.
He tried that defense. He managed to fuck it up.

It looks like I was about the first one. from what another admin said āslurā or not the guy was still being an asshole, and apparently it is used as a slur in certain parts of the internet. Iāve never heard it used that way but it seems like some people have so idk. It still seems a little fishy about the random adminbus but thatās probably not impoerant enough to report over.
The 2nd one is still somewhat valid, howver. Guy literally insults anyone who joined after the SSeth guy made his video.
not sure about 3. What was the off-topic argument about?
The 4th one where he randomly accused me of being racist IRL is still valid and iirc he hasnāt apologized but itās been a while and I may have forgotten.

People are allowed to have opinions, if he thinks youāre shitty then he thinks youāre shitty, deal with it.

??? how you reading this
I donāt really know the context though, but it seemed the way Maggot said it was you misunderstand something.
The guy very clearly used it as an insult, take a look at the original report
Okay, so iām here after this whole fucking conversation.
The person who was insulting me told me to seethe, i told them to dilate in return, because I didnāt bother up looking the history of a word like dilate, much like i wouldnāt bother up looking whether seethe, cope or cringe are anti-trans terms.
I did not know that the word DILATE is a an anti-trans term. In my boing, Francium said that dilate was worse than seethe. I asked why, they said, itās worse than seethe, I asked why, they perma-banned me.
I donāt know what proves that more than the fact when asked what I think the word dilate means, I answered the wrong bloody thing, because, iām an ape-brain who plays SS13.
Jesus christ, Iāve been banned for being a shitter, but in the over a year and a half of being on this server I have never been banned for hate-speech of any sort, so getting suddenly perma-banned for saying the word ādilateā, being given a note that just amounts to āanti trans jokeā, when I am not anti-trans, is fucking insane.
My bad behaviour in the ticket was due to a bad mood after I got adminbussed with zero explanation.
Nowhere during my boing was I told that the word dilate was anti-trans, in fact, Francium seemed more angry at the beginning that I used the word FURRY (because the HOP insulted my lack of characters hair, so I called them furry)
