Are they aware that when we say that it’s used in the context of a noose?

I think he meant more like turning fuck to $#%*
Why is this becoming omg if i can’t scream ************ I’m being oppressed.
Which, again, the oppressed here are the people for whom that word presents an unwelcoming atmosphere?
that would be much easier yes
I agree with Elli that filtering what you read is bad, especially in a game based on trying to read and understand people I’d rather it be filtered at the posting stage of it’s filtered at all
No one is saying that, actually.
you’re one letter off there br0
In a game where conveying exactly what you mean matters incredibly to wether you win or lose, having words replaced is unacceptable I think?

What about a blocker that makes you edit the post yourself?
Exactly this.
If you filter it before the reply button is pressed, then what you’ve done is taken away a level of communication, one which you must be absolutely sure you don’t want.
I believe if that was their exact response then their perception of the game is probably that it is racist, and their view of it is that we’re hunting mafia of racial background and using that word is just substituting the word ‘kill’ because we’re hunting people of origin.
If you have contact with those people I’d recommend cclearing this up if it happens to be the case. I don’t think they are aware that when we mean a noose.
They play mafia irl so they’re aware of the context they just dislike it.
the way i see it is that people are just looking for a reason to be offended

If you are just blocking someone from doing something you aren’t actually changing behavior.
It needs to be a group “we don’t do that here” as opposed to “the stupid site won’t let me post” so that the idealogical change away from an offensive word takes root in the populus
