Don't be like that, do the song, use the slurs. All of them. Tom Lehrer did it, he was legendary. Reminds me also of Lenny Bruce, "Are There Any N-ggers Here Tonight?" (I can't write the actual title because my comment gets blocked, even though that is the title of the bit, and is in fact the whole point of the bit, which just goes to show how ridiculous censorship is)
No and then the lil boy goes ‘next time you fly you crash and you die’. So then I bought a different one from a different kid while he watched. The one i got was way more chill can’t remember what it said though as was over a decade ago
I seriously don't understand why you'd wear a thing that has writing on it without understanding what it says, whether that's Japanese or English or whatever language.
I was assuming that the shirt (and thus the person) was making fun of people wearing the shirts with Chinese or Japanese characters without understanding their meanings.
My favourite are little kids, who can barely read, but whose parents definitely can. Taking note of the shirts was one of my favourite things about summer camp. They were all like 'horses! pink!' or 'summer, sun, flowers' or 'dinosaur pirates' or other nonsensical collections of vaguely related words.
Shit, you wore those trippy shirts from the early 90's, those rave things with kaleidoscopic patterns and psychedelic neon fractals? Did you ever wear anything at all?
Sir please don't yell at me. It's a straight forward question. I don't think it's in the interest of achieving common ground here to deny me basic information about the status of whether you are currently panted or pantless. I will not judge either way, I believe there is merit to both.
Nah, shirts in Asia with English slurs are definitely a thing. It's likely not functionally different than English speakers getting Asian writing on them without actually knowing what it means.

WHERE'S KIKE YOU GOD DAMNED ANTI-SEMITE
AreaKode@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 307d
It's anti-semite to say it. It's anti-semite to leave it off the list.
You know what, I've changed my mind: I'm okay with genocide now.

Just said, replace that last with k---, sing to the tune of We Didn't Start the Fire.

I could rewrite the entire song to be nothing but racist slurs and commentary but I won't.
It would be so easy. And I'd use all of them. And insult all people equally.
But I wont.
Sigh.

Also there’s a serious lack of Asian and Hispanic slurs.

I understand Japanese or Chinese, as their language looks like proper art. But English? Its so fugly.
I mean, look at this shit "みず". Thats proper art shit, and it just says "water".
If anyone is looking for a new lower back tattoo, this "部屋が臭くなるまで私をファックして" would be perfect...

It's most likely that, but it's funnier to assume otherwise.

If I saw someone wear that shirt in an English speaking country I'd die laughing and tell literally everyone I know that I saw an irl cryptid.

Assuming you're using the American English meaning of "pants", I am in fact not wearing any at the moment.

"But, but, they are all terrible slurs, doesn't that make you a bad person? You could have picked any random shit!"
"Yes, but then you wouldn't have said anything, I get much more of a reaction this way" (thinking smugly, I am so smart)
