It would be nice if people would think about what they just typed before they hit the enter key. Crpg is a pretty tight knit community, so you would think that people would be more considerate the others feelings. But hey, it is the internet, so that may be asking too much.

Simple solution:

Unban Farmer Nate and SpookIsland and use them to set the bar in terms of insults. Anyone that manages to be more offensive than them gets the ban-hammer.

As one of the leaders of Groovy Ghoulies, I agree.

Well I've had people tell me they think I'm a dick from what I type in the cRPG battle server, and I literally never say anything "mean", if something comes across as me being a dick, it's usually sarcasm not translating to text

You know, you could always go and learn for yourself what is discriminatory and what is not.  There is no shortage of first hand accounts of the effects of bigotry.  Although, I will warn you, realizing you've been in the wrong all your life is an uncomfortable feeling and it's a lot easier to just go on doing it than admit it.

Education should be sought out and not forced upon, but here we are anyways.

Your subtlety detector is broken. Just forget the second line.

Yeah it is pretty offensive to have a derogative term for a group of people claimed as a general term for anything bad or annoying. How is it any different than calling someone a "nigcher" or some such? It's not and if you don't find that offensive either then you don't deserve the right to talk about this stuff.

And if anything, it's worse on EU since you guys all think you're so further ahead than americans when in reality you're just as bad.

"wolves_skono_the_my old friend" and other wonderful things.

"I find boys bands offensive", to steal the work of someone. It is in fact very easy to make the difference between hate speech and liberal use of words, even over the internet. Also, I talk about this stuff if I want to.


Example : Skono is not homophobic because he said "my old friend".

Yes, let's create an arbitrary list of words that are a no-no because we're incapable of inferring context(using common sense). This entire thread is absurd. Here's the fucking bottom line: Your derogatory insults have more weight than what you think, whether they're racial slurs or simple insults that target a specific attribute of fellow human beings.

It's rarely ever going to be the case that you can find an insult that someone, somewhere, hasn't been ridiculed with throughout their life, and are thus more sensitive to the term. Race, creed, gender, etc, doesn't matter. If we're going to enter into this discussion and actually try to fix the problem, then we need to actually fix the problem. That is, we as a community do the intellectually honest thing, and we deem all derogatory, hateful statements, as being 'wrong'.

Alas, I don't think this community is up for the task. Few communities on earth would be able to, as a whole, practice complete understanding and respect for one another. But any alternative to this, will either be hypocritical or intellectually dishonest in its implementation.

Great reasoning, then you somehow end up with a conclusion which resemble the opposite of what would be deduced by your premisses. It is precisely because drawing a clear line is impossible that no such thing as banning "all" curse words is possible.

You guys are safe from the tyranny, you know.  The devs will never allow this to be enforced.  Which is weird, I can't imagine why none of them would be concerned with the interests of people of colour, women, or the LGBTQ community.  No idea at all.

I don't care about this issue either way; I just think it's hilarious that some people in this thread seem to actually think that banning or muting people for saying words like "fàggot" or "nìgger" is nerd oppression or something.

Here is a rambling, most likely incoherent rant. It'll probably come off as an attack, but I don't mean it that way.

You guys aren't some freedom fighting revolutionaries making the world a better place for minorities, you're a group of nerds who don't want people to be called names on the internet by strangers. Toughen up. There isn't some big epidemic of people being completely awful to eachother on this mod, and if someone wants to vent their frustrations by calling someone else a bundle of sticks, its not a slur against homosexuals, its questioning the sexuality of another to verbalize their frustrations with said person.

I don't feel offended at all when someone calls me a bundle of sticks on this game. I got a lot worse shit in high school, where my best friend was a homosexual. The new wave of political correctness is paving the way for a very very dull, close minded world. Perhaps in a few years, we could just keep our kids inside and home school them, protect them from the big bad world and anyone who might disagree with their world view.

I really hate to advocate hate speech, but I'd really hate for it to disappear.
