OR BE FORCED INTO TIMEOUT IF WE DARE SPEAK OUT
I understand the points of view that might think there’s nothing offensive or racially charged about the word used in the game context and there just some invisible people who you never met that are offended and I don’t think any of you are wrong for bringing it up. I actually bet internally that far less people would care than actually did before I started asking people about it and I was surprised too. Even then I don’t think your opinion is necessarily wrong - we have however decided that going ahead and transitioning away is what we think is best and something that will have a non-negative effect on the site and mafia here. That’s not going to change for the foreseeable future. I genuinely appreciate when people bring up their concerns once or even twice but repeating the same thing over and over again won’t change my mind on this one.
I am however still very open to discuss implementation which was (and is now more clearly stated in the title) one of the main purposes behind this topic. I’m very open to a cultural shift but if you’re going to go in game and be like “hey there’s this stupid change we have to do because of some people not here so don’t use it” every time that’s not going to work.
Who’s saying what?
I like TK
I will guillotine you if you ever use TK as a host.
Side note: My history teacher said I should dress up as Robespierre for halloween.
Why don’t we just let a new word develop naturally it won’t take long
Not if Star insists on using TK
I usually get my way, but that’s because I’m the most reasonable person on site.
TK is very bad how is that reasonable of you
TK is an awful replacement.
TK can refer to: A vigilante shot, a PGO, an Insane Doctor, A redirection of a kill, etc.
@Key was talking about how the best choice should likely obey some sort of tense rules? Not totally sure.
Just do ##kill or whatever
Who the hell are you
And even though it is short, you have to keep pressing shift and push 2 letters on left and right half of the keyboard WHILE HOLDING SHIFT
And how does it even sounds? tee-kaying? I will teekay you? It sounds silly to be honest
Yikes.
I’m voting all of you into timeout.
You have to have caps lock on, shift on, copypaste the letters into an auto capitalizer program, then copypaste that into ypur OG post.
We encourage anyone that wants to use the R word to find a different way to express themselves.
I recommend stupid, as that’s usually what the word is trying to convey.
As in “look at me I’m so stupid using this word”?
