filters

underwear; briefs; panties

The Martha & The Muffins song off the _This Is The Ice Age_ album from the early 1980's entitled "Boy Without Filters" might have been the genesis of the term. Also one needs to include the image and function of cigarette filters and coffee filters.

What they're filtering is left up to the user: gas, sweaty ball odor, snatch stench, overpowering sexual passion, etc.

I gotta buy some new filters. The elastic's shot on this pair.

777 filters

This relates to a social media app known as "Tiktok. These 777 filters are known for having inappropriate images in them. They are a "choose your favorite" filter which you would tilt your head to the direction of your favorite character/variation of your character. At first it'll be normal with completely fine images and then once you choose it would usually display an image of that character naked or just some other type of inappropriate image. Some of the most popular 777 filters were; Chun li, Princess peach, and Hello Kitty. Most of these filters are gone now.

Person 1: Hey have you seen those 777 filters?
Person 2: Yeah it's crazy how they are not taken down yet!

Trauma from Reddit's Spam Filters

The specific, collective frustration and sense of injustice experienced by online community members when automated moderation tools (AutoModerator, site-wide filters) incorrectly delete their legitimate posts or comments. This "trauma" stems from the helplessness of arguing with an algorithm, the opacity of the rules, and the social death of being silenced in a space you care about.

*Example: You spend an hour crafting a helpful, rule-abiding answer in r/AskHistorians, citing sources. You hit "post." It vanishes. No notification. No reason. You message the mods (who are volunteers and may reply in 3 days). Silence. This is Trauma from Reddit's Spam Filters—the gut-punch of being rendered a ghost by a bot, transforming participation into a lottery and breeding chronic low-level distrust in the platform's infrastructure.*
