Woof, maybe don't build a classifier off this. It's very much a snapshot in time sort of thing.

- bena 5y agoThe one thing that I can say definitely makes it a bad set is that it includes the popular phrase "Let's go, Brandon" by itself as a toxic statement. For anybody still unaware, they were interviewing the winner of a NASCAR race on live television and the crowd was chanting "Fuck Joe Biden", the interviewer said that they were chanting "Let's go, Brandon". Because, you know, you can't acknowledge the swears. This has become picked up as a sort of dog-whistle/shibboleth by those who still support President Trump. Even in places where saying "Fuck Joe Biden" is completely allowed. Which is any place that will let you swear. Now, within the parameters of the data set, the statement "Fuck Joe Biden" would get classified as toxic. Just as "Fuck Donald Trump" would. But, you do need the context to understand that "Let's go, Brandon" really means "Fuck Joe Biden" and is therefore toxic. If you train on this set, you could run the risk of confusing statements like "Let's go, Bradley" as toxic even though Bradley is just some dude. Or statements made to or about a guy named Brandon.
