It's almost too easy to get flagged online sometimes.

On one hand, there's probably something related to that word that should be flagged.

On the flip side, I think of the fox from Sonic when I see that word. There are probably a lot of people with random flags haha

No, it flags you specifically for being interested in TailsOS or Tor browser, both. It has nothing to do with the word tails and everything to do with "heeeyy this guy doesn't like being stalked en masse, must be a criminal."

[–] Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Ahhh ok that makes more sense, thank you for clarifying.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

But if you're already flagged, and then I interact with you online, and use words like "Tails" or "Tor"... am I now flagged? If so, we're all flagged around here now

[–] DirtMcGirt@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

If everyone's flagged, no one's flagged.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Good question, idk the answer.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago

What word? Tails? Like, "Tails" from Sonic? Or "Tails" as in the word I searched and fucked myself on, for being insatiably curious?

Sonic is the first thing I think of, when I think of Tails. Like "Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic and Tails". And Tails was kinda my favorite character... besides Knuckles, because of the gliding plus climbing thing

But yeah, now I'm apparently not allowed to say "Tails" without scrutiny. C'est la vie. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

I worked really hard on a tailspin DVD for a niece done years ago. I probably searched through a lot of images for art.

I hope I made it with an additional "Dumbass spells it "tailspin DVD" flag

TailSpin is awesome, but have you seen what DuckTales has to offer?
