PSA - r/linguisticshumor has a child groomer mod (and I got banned for pointing it out)

181 Upvotes

One of the moderators of r/linguisticshumor, IAmABearOfficial, has a long history of concerning behavior with minors of all ages.

When he was around 20-21 years old, he attempted to enter into a relationship with a 16 year old. Because of this, he was kicked out of a sub that he was previously the owner of. He has admitted to this all happening, but claims he just talks to minors in that way to "make them feel special".

The images below (except for one) all come from this document made by the community he was kicked out of: document (keep in mind most of it is very mundane drama, as it was quite obviously made by children who have no understanding of the gravity of these things).

Unfortunately, not much can be done about the situation as one of the more active mods is aware of the situation, but lacks any actual ability to demote the problematic moderator.

Saw this video pop up and couldn't help but laugh at the comment about learning languages in order. Classic Reddit!

Bad pronunciation of stroke order???

25 Upvotes

hello I have a problem. I'm trying my best to sound like a japanese native using proper ぴっtチュアック先つ(eng. pitch accent) but my friends tell me my stroke order is all wrong. has anyone else had this problem and how do i fix it? For example when I try to say 先生 it's supposed to come out as 先生, but because of my bad writing habits it usually comes out as 🨱 or 🩕. I'm native swiss, if that helps, so it's quite natural for me to learn languages (learned 21 in school), although the cheese makes it hard sometimes. I mainly immerse using anime at 1/8 speed so i can really 針る (eng. to nail) the pronunciation.
