Request to add "anti-Chinese racial slurs" to r/ChonglangTV
edit | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
- What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):
| − | which was known for its frequent use of racial slurs | + | which was known for its frequent use of [[anti-Chinese sentiment|anti-Chinese]] racial slurs |
- Why it should be changed:
Simply saying "racial slurs" is very vague, and could refer to racial slurs against any group (are we talking about anti-Black slurs? anti-White slurs? anti-Jewish slurs? anti-Mexican slurs?) Meanwhile, there are sources that do describe what slurs are being used for better context.
- References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):
- Source 1:[1]
In May 2022, Reddit banned r/cltv, a subreddit known for its strong anti-China sentiments and hateful speech, for doxxing other users. R/cltv (a variation of r/chonglangtv) originated from Chinese discussion forum Kanagawa Chonglang Hub, a controversial community on Baidu Tieba for its rampant use of racial slurs and extreme anti-China views.

(originally neutral, now derogatory and offensive) China
, with derived terms wiktionary:支那人:(now usually derogatory, offensive, ethnic slur) Chinaman (Chinese person)

r/norske
r/norske is a Norwegian-language subreddit for discussion of matters related to Norway.[1] It was founded after the moderators of r/norge closed the subreddit down due to Reddit's restriction of API use. R/norske remained in use after r/norge updated. Since r/norske was lightly moderated, it has attracted right-wing and anti-immigration discussions. The community at /norske has been criticized for bigotry and racism.[2]

- A doctoral thesis. The first word or phrase of content (in the "Abstract" section) is "TL;DR". It was indeed fun to know the author is in a "letting their hair down" sort of mood, although the paper's pretensions towards scholarship took a hit and I stopped right there. And while I'm at it... isn't the purpose of an "Abstract" section to SERVE as a "TL;DR"? Marcus Markup (talk) 01:50, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

editReddit's 2005 wordmark is still seen on the page. Can you change it to the modern wordmark, which uses Reddit Sans rather than VAG Rounded? ~2026-29165-71 (talk) 14:14, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
