Just sayin... Hit-ler isn't even a bad word, he was a bad person. But racial slurs are A-ok :?:
-

-
What does "chocolate chip cookies" censor?
err which bad word turns into "chocolate chip cookies"?
-
I don't think you understand the purpose of the censor :lol:

istn jap just short for japanese, i dont get it
-
istn jap just short for japanese, i dont get it
in america every second word or thing you do is racism
-
You would expect non-idiots to avoid those words anyway... gives you a reason to call them idiot for using them anyway, right?
-
Just sayin... Hit-ler isn't even a bad word, he was a bad person. But racial slurs are A-ok :?:
Why was he a bad person :?:
-
im confused too
stalin is not censored while hitlеr is censored? as far as i know stalin was equally bad, or even worse
and how is nаzi a bad word, its short for national socialist which is a normal word
so following that logic everything that is associated with something bad should be censored
like genocide, murder, war, dentist etc

In that case calling me a brit is racist and i will sue anyone who does!!

I don't think you understand the purpose of the censor :lol:
So may you enlighten us?

H1lter and naz1 are censored because one of the clan-leaders here is literally a neo-naz1, niemand. All of his posts were chock-full of german ultra-nationalism, anti-semtisim, a hilarious misunderstanding of basic 20th century history, and no one could help but call him what he was all the time.
You'd think they'd realize to just permaban him instead..

I think it is suggested that "jap" be censored and replaced by "citrus face insular people"

Jap is a racial slur.
It takes people back to WW2 era times when it was used as a derogatory term. That's why newscasters or the japanese themselves, when speaking in english, don't use the word Jap very often.
If a reporter working for a major news publication in america were to say Jap when referring to Japanese people on live tv, he would probably be fired for racial insensitivity.
Just like the worder "Nig*ger," which takes people back to a time of slavery, when black people were thought of as lesser humans.
The word "Jap" takes people back to an era when japanese americans were in internment camps, distrusted, and hated because of the actions of the imperial japanese government during WW2.
I don't see how you can argue that it's not a racial slur.

It's only a racial slur in the USA.

Wrong. Here is an example that has nothing to do with America, Other than this was the country which made the term into an offensive racial slur during WW2 for war propaganda.
"...Tension between North Korea and Japan, one of the parties to the talks, has surfaced at the United Nations during a debate over the crisis.
North Korea's deputy UN ambassador Kim Chang-guk has repeatedly referred to the Japanese as "Japs".
"The Japs are now turning the whole society to the right to resurrect militarism and fascism with a view to reinvade North Korea," he told the General Assembly.
Japan brutally annexed Korea from 1910 to 1945.
Mr Kim said he had decided to use "Japs" in retaliation for a Japanese diplomat calling his country North Korea, rather than its official name of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Japan's deputy ambassador, Yoshiyuki Motomurea, said "Japs" was derogatory. He said the use of "North Korea" was a geographical concept, and not intended as a derogatory term."

Even in North Korea, the most isolated country in the world, they know that the term Jap is an offensive racial slur.
There are plenty of other examples of the word Jap being offensive to Japanese citizens and Japanese minority populations in other countries outside of the U.S.

chocolate chip cookie is censored because nobody every uses it in a non insulting way, so don't make a bullshit excuse like "it's a political term blah blah". Use your common sense, but this is crpg....
hi-tler was probably a common name, but it's censored because people never talk about any other hi-tler.
But who cares about Jap, i'm not offended, and i'm part Japanese. Forum censors are lame.

I never said anything about Na-zi being censored, I didn't even know it was censored.
My post, was the comparison of censoring Hit-ler to ethnic slurs like "jap" being acceptable.
Are you insinuating that just because you aren't offended by an ethnic slur, nobody else should be? I find that silly, I don't think it would be too hard to find someone on the internet who says they are black and not offended by the use of the word Nigg*r.
Swedes, Danes, Sloves, Scotts, Poles, Lats, Ports, Brits, Ukes, Malts, Molds, Serbs, and Turks don't get censored either, what is this shit? Please censor all these words because feelings.
Better go edit wikipedias 150+ list of ethnic slurs if you actually think that's what those words are.
They don't list any of those and they have quite an extensive list. (probably because the words you listed aren't offensive slurs charged with racial hatred.)

Sounds pretty sarcastic to me. Are you just trying to troll?
-
bluegum bluegum bluegum
It is funny how much power people allow words to have in this day and age.
Your point about "jap" is correct because it was exported to Japan, but it still isn't a reason to censor it. I could call all japanese people "christmas trees" and use that as a derogatory term very convincingly, it still doesn't mean "christmas tree" should be censored.
Btw this list can't be serious, more than half the names are from the US, and half of those I have never even heard once.

istn jap just short for japanese, i dont get it
As far as I'm concerned calling a Japanese guy a Jap is just as bad as calling a European a Euro
-

Which is equivalent to call a Japanese a Yen.
wait what

Can we censor jap to chap? I think that would solve all our woes.

yes actually, (educated) people do use it in non insulting ways, when talking about history for example
hitlеr being censored is pointless too, same reason. my other point is, if hitlеr is censored, why isnt stalin? i doubt people talk about mr stalin living next door to mr vasilev in moscow so your arguement is pretty invalid.
stalin was an even worse person, but i guess he was intelligent enough not to focus on annihilating one ethnic group, so that people wont mind as much
back to the original post:
jap is not racist, yes it was used in ww2 often, if someone tried to shout "japanese soldiers incoming!" everybody would be dead before he could finish that sentence
of course everybody associated "jap" with something bad, guess why? because japan was the enemy, a hated, or dreaded one for their willingness to give their life to take some allies with them.
britains were called "brits", americans were called "yanks", soviets were called "ivans", nothing racist about all those
just cause someone might be offended by the term doesnt mean its racist, otherwise you would have to censor every single nickname, like "dude", "mate" etc cause i bet that at least one person on earth will find one of those terms offending
-
Inventing derogatory names for the enemy is part of the "natural" dehumanizing process of war.
-
istn jap just short for japanese, i dont get it
American here, came to say the same thing...how is abbreviating the country of origin a racist comment?
And what's wrong with calling someone a Euro (gyro)?
-
this is like saying that calling sister a sis is offensive...
jap is an abbreviation, not racial slur. and fyi people of other color than white tend to be as racist [if not even more] as white people.
-
What about Muricans? You bloody Euro's and your hate words!
O before I forget.....'Murica yeah!!
-
It's their country. If they find to be highly offensive, just deal with it and honor it or just be prepared that it could anger someone one day. JPN or JP, not that hard. Most people are just ignorant about it.
Most of the censors on this forum are just jokes, we mostly use all sorts of profanity unabated anyways.
-
istn jap just short for japanese, i dont get it
in my language it is used as a kind of "yes"
-
Face it - this game's community is made mostly out of Yanks, Turklings, Jerries, Froggers, Kurwas, Commies & Chinks and there's nothing you can do about it.
-
I bet the jews did this.
-
Why are black people allowed to call themselves nigga but whites not? this is certainly racism against whites.
-
einstein vagina
-
I don't think it's such a matter of racism with the word but more of disrespect. Considering Japanese culture calls for courtesy.
-
Now when i think about it, only Brits, out of all the other "major" nations/races, do not have any classic insulting nick-names :) I even googled it, since i couldn't think of any myself...
And btw, Japanese were very naughty during the WW2. They made Santa cry.

There ya go people, if you need more ideas for insults(theres gold nuggets in there, hilarious stuff):

I am basically a master "troll" since there is no "ethnic slurs" or other "nicknames" for finns :twisted:
-
None of these should be censored - including naz1, h1tler, etc.
-
Censor everything! Let's talk in riddles!
-
Censor the terms 'OP', 'lolstab', 'knockdown' and 'agility' and replace them all with racial slurs.
= forum funtimes.

What does "chocolate chip cookies" censor?

http://forum.meleegaming.com/spam/genuine-haters-among-us/

They do, just not in English of course.

Censorship is just dev trolling.

This is my point.
