I understand human rights aren’t exactly great there but between this response and their response to a high profile US assassination, they’ve been more than reasonable internationally. Thier own citizens have more cause to hate the regime than most other people.
This is like the one time they’ve been reasonable.
They’re an authoritarian autocratic regime that supports terrorist groups in neighbouring countries and contributes to the destablisation of the region (along with the US, etc.).
Clearly somebody wants it to be. I simply remarked at how attitudes change over time and depending on the circumstance, taking no sides, and making it clear I was taking no sides, and a mod removed it.
Apparently this place is no different than reddit.
Edit: apparently I used an insulting term no longer appropriate. News to me.
Compared to current day Isreal, Iran is looking pretty sane. Even though, they’re still a bunch of assholes supplying Russia the drones that are killing Ukrainians in that genocide.
Iran handled it exceptionally well.
Israel’s too “prideful” to let it not turn to full on war.

Just looking at the modlog and yeah that’s been a slur for like 50 years now.

WTF?
Report it. I did. Bigoted words like that shouldn’t be tolerated.
How is that bigoted? It’s a generic insult. What have I missed?
See the words “dated, now offensive.” Meaning it was a bigoted word against people with intellectual disabilities.
Of course, they could be calling them Asian as a way of suggesting they were stupid and inferior, which would… no, that would still be bigoted.

Thanks for the info. Never heard this, and was not the intention. It was a generic insult my whole life.
