Remove Vulgar Thread Titles

[brewer]

If there were a list of words that every single forum member considered to be overly vulgar that would make it easy but there won’t be any agreement on such a list so it would be a nearly impossible rule to implement. I doubt we could even get the small group of staff to agree on a list like that.

Gosh you're moist.

I think it's a balmy idea, me cunts! To that end I am proposing we ban the following from thread titles:

• evidence-based
  
• science-based
  
• vulnerable
  
• entitlement
  
• diversity
  
• transgender
  
• fetus

G'day, mates!

Cunt is not objectively overly vulgar. Some people use it as a normal swear word. I don’t see it as any more vulgar than the word shit

There are no words that can be described as objectively vulgar. Words are mere collection of sounds with no inherent meaning. It's the very subjective definitions and societal contexts that make them vulgar or not and vulgarity is different for everybody.

Compiling that list would give the person doing it insight into the trigger words of the respective complainers. Then it's a simple matter of repeating them back enough times so that the complainers will be desensitized to them.

Meat curtains?

Meat curtains?

That term always makes me think of the sides of beef, waiting on butchering, hanging from their meat hooks in nice little rows.

So, no. Not objectively vulgar.
