This isn't what the petition was for at all. Also, quoting this because I didn't see it get answered and I'm interested in the answer as well.

F*g had already been censored, so it followed that r****d would be as well, seeing as their both hate language/slurs against a specific group. Would you like me to explain more about why it's considered inappropriate or are you aware? |

*points to poll results* Almost a 50/50 split. I really don't see what's so terrible about being unable to call people a "retard." Could you, or Boyd, clearly articulate why this is an issue? At this point it's not "omg a minority repressing the majority," it's really a courtesy thing that appears to have considerable support. |

I'm aware why it's inappropriate to use them. What I'm not understanding is why it's appropriate to censor either of them. Unlike curse words fag and retard don't have anything to do with keeping the forum PG-13, which, in my understanding is the point of censors. Maybe they were co-opted for the use of "oh these words might offend a specific group of people let's censor them" but we don't censor 'rape' which has that same effect of potentially offending certain groups of people, all we do for that word is ask that people not use it in most contexts. What makes these words any different from that word? Edit @Satty: My issue isn't with not being able to call people retards. I don't do that. My issue is with what the censors are being used for. |

Are you implying that you can't use the word "classy, intelligent, and sophisticated" to refer to something that isn't a person? |

Good question, Bowz. People do generally respect the "don't use rape lightly" rule. If you believe people would avoid using fuzzy little man-peach and classy and intelligent individual outside of respectful discussion rule, it would be nice as an honour system. However, it's more than that. "Rape" refers to an actual event that happens to be and should be discussed seriously, but not taken lightly. So it's uncensored. However, "fuzzy little man-peach" and "classy and intelligent individual" serve no purpose but to insult and demean, and whereas it's also a casual use, there is not really a legitimate purpose to use those words. People may bypass if it's a partial match, like Cofuzzy little man-peachrigus, or if they're referring to, say, "flame retardant." Given that we had someone censor-bypass for the sake of insulting in this topic, even, I doubt a honour system would work. And while the two words in question may not conform to a PG-13 guideline (can you think of a PG-13 movie where people are called f*g or r****d?), they're still words where the negative connotations outweigh the "positive" (a word to use in insulting your friends). I could elaborate on this point, but that's the basic outline. Does that answer your questions, Bowz? EDIT: Hmmmm, I think I might get where you're coming from. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you saying that using censors does nothing to stop people's habit of using f*g and r****d in their normal sentences? If so, should we remove the censors but discourage people from using those words? |
