the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I don't speak or read swedish but my big brain tells me that this "slur" is just the equivalent of just calling someone a "Swede", right?
It's like calling an English person Tommy, as far as I am concerned.
No it's based on the name Sven
That doesn't seem like an insult to me
It's the same as calling a German Hans or an American Johnny.
It's not. It's mostly used to refer to a very stereotypically Swedish person.
The Redditor seems to be projecting this word to mean something it's not then, they must have been called it and felt offended because:
. So cringe.
It sounds like it is literally just an affectionate diminutive form of the given name Sven.
Is "Sven" a common swedish old-person name like "Svend" is in Denmark and Norway?
Old and middle aged mostly in my experience.
