What does it matter if you have the setting on or off? If you didn’t want to see the word, you wod have the setting on. What are you even arguing here?

#220

Different people aren’t seeing different things, it effects the mapping of the word you type in your composer to the actual post, everyone sees the same actual post.

#221

I’m not implementing something where some people can choose to see the word.

#222

If I didn’t want someone PMing me on Discord, I would block them. If Discord didn’t want people to block others, they wouldn’t have the feature.

#223

Why not?

#224

If we decide we don’t want something on site we’re not giving some people the option to still use and see it without recourse. Just imagine how ridiculous that would be with a slur and how uncomfortable it would be to know some people might be using it with each other.

#225

The word was of literally no consequence until someone bitched about it.

#226

And they ir only real complain is that it’s historically bad, so it should be banned for the rest of time no backsies.

#227

Question: Why aren’t the supposed people who are arguing against using the word not here to defend their stance?

#228

So not only is the word

Banned

But so will you

I don’t get the point you’re making? If we had been allowing slurs on site and someone came and complained to me I’d take a look and agree it’s something we should get rid of.

To make it clear doing away with it isn’t up for discussion and won’t change, the discussion here is about implementation.

#230

This isn’t a slur though, this seems like a case of being overly PC

It’s not intended as a slur, anyway.

#232

but it has lots of historical connotations that makes it offensive

#233

Also anyone taking issue with the use of the word lynch but who doesn’t care about killing or like the italian stereotypes of the “Mafia goon” probably is just whining to whine

Who here would actually admit that they only play mafia just to use a technical slur in a niche case?

Gay used to mean happy. So therefore, being gay is a good thing because it means happiness, not homosexuality.

Words change. Connotations change.

WAIT
