Do you think that calling a democrat a snowflake is equivalent to calling a black person the N-word? If you can tell the difference, then you’ve just answered your own question.

Time for the other N word?

What happens when we flip that around and call a republican(US)/Conservative(UK)/equivalent right-wing parties(everywhere else) a Nazi, or republicunt?
Under hate speech, these would be covered, I guess(?)

God's balls, guys.

If you take away our reductio ad absurdum how do you expect some of us to survive?

Where does twat waddle fit in?

AF Staff:
The use of slurs targeting race, gender, sex, and sexual orientation are prohibited. An exception will be made if the slur itself is being discussed, however even in these cases, members should censor the slur using asterisks (e.g. f*ggot) or some other reference (e.g. the n word).


I thought it was common knowledge that inflammatory and degrading speech was only reserved for your friend's mother.

I would say no. Insulting someone is not hate speech.

Mmmm, I agree that there is no reson for any one to use the N word, however I want you to outlaw those that say 'God loves you'

I mean he loved the world and flooded it  ... loved his son and strung him up on a cross  ... seems to me its a threat ... and constitutes hate speech

No.

'Nazi' and 'republicunt' are political attacks and wouldn't fall under the rule (though I'm not overly fond of either term).

There you go.... should these be covered as well?

duly noted. God might not love you. There is no reason to use the N word outside of harming someone. Here in the south of America, God Bless you can be used as a cure or encouragement. Regardless, I'll accept the ban if it shuts everyone up. It's not implicitly banned to my knowledge but is in the best practices section for theist members.

This isn’t your chance to ship religious protections. You weren’t born Christian. You were trained. Stop trying to make it sound like atheists are the kkk of religion.

Why would you do that?
