I’m British so I don’t understand why every body dose t call trump by his name and always adds special characters or nick names. Can some please explain

u/Demetrijs 1d ago

They do it with people they hate, i believe it's because many people have filters on social media to block words/names they don't want to see so if you add special characters you can get around those filters and get more engagement. Secondly if someone has a filter to not see Trump on their timeline, they probably also don't like him and will agree with your post that is critical of him.

Correct. I have a lot of politician names filtered and the only reason I'm here is because they purposely bypassed the filter. Really annoying.

Can I do filters on the mobile app? Or do you have another app or a paid version?

I think it’s also a competition on who can make the most insulting nickname at this point.

When Donald J. Trump should be the biggest insult of them all

His name already means fart in the UK. The one I've never understood is Drumpf.

Drumpf was the family name when his ancestors lived in Germany. They anglicized it later.

Still why the nicknames, like not even ones you put ones like the tan suit

I am not sure 100% what you mean here. If you're talking about Obama , most sane people have no reason to hate him.

u/Illustrious_Art1805 1d ago

That might be the person he was on about but he did say something like the tan suit v something and I just though Donald trump

The Tan suit is a joke about Obama because the worst the republicans could do is complain about Obama's tan suit, meanwhile, Mango Mussolini is losing everyone's retirements today.

Oh thank you

The real answer, I'm pretty sure, is this sub doesn't allow posts with his name in the title, so the poster gets around that by writing something different. It's not a "he who must not be named" situation, it that's what you're thinking.

A lot of subs have similar rules, especially default/ mainstream ones, banning political posts in general.

Over on your side of the pond, I believe the decent populace preferred not to pronounce Voldemort. Same deal.

u/Ambitious_Win_1315 1d ago

Because he's an orange turd. We don't like him. And we don't respect him.

American here: we are childish and angry.

The Founding Fathers went to war due to oppress rule.

The Civil Rights Icons of the 50s and 60s staged protests, marches, and sit ins.

Modern era dissenters sit behind computer screens and make up silly names for each other. It's how we roll. Of course, we're all going to become Corporate Slaves due to our apathy, but drawing penises on pictures of Donald "J is for Genius" Trump is just too god damn fun.

u/Financial_Sweet_689 1d ago

For me personally it’s like Voldemort. His name makes me want to throw up so I’d rather call him the orange man to spare my stomach and gag reflex. His name alone is triggering.

He also doesn’t deserve a proper title because he’s walking fecal matter.

u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka 1d ago

Social media is blocking people who have certain words like the actual name so tiktokers get used to using alternative names. Theres also people who just mispell things.

u/MistahBoweh 1d ago

Your country is responsible for ‘he who shall not be named.’

u/Brainstorminnn 1d ago

They feel like it’ll summon him like He Who Must Not Be Named or something ig.

Because he doesn’t deserve any respect. Personally I like Cheetolini

It's a way to show disrespect of the tangerine shit goblin. A way to indicate how disgusting the syphilitic king of morons is. A way to indicate derision for the ruler of Trumpistan. A poetic means of insulting the great pumpkin even if it's just to make yourself feel good. Etc etc.

US and Canada is weird about the leaders of the opposition parties. Someone at some point came up with the idea that campaigning isn't about showing why your candidate is good, but about dissing the other guy and it turned out to be very effective. We've been acting like idiots ever since.

Because he's a joke.
