PSA: PLEASE READ

[Deesse23]

I am going to try again.

A forum member asked staff if they could post a video that had no reason except to use a specific racial slur.  That member was told that would be breaking a rule.  After a short time out they came back and posted another video with the sole purpose of using the above-mentioned slur.  

Please feel free to disagree.

Instead of treating an asshole like an asshole (is that a slur btw?) deserves, the staff decided to gag every single member of the forum instead? Does not compute here.

Again, this is a reminder - the hate speech rule has been in place for years. You can use all the slurs you want regarding race, gender, sex, and sexual orientation you want, you just can’t do it here.

If having a rule against denigrating other human beings for those reasons strikes you as a gag, I’m truly sorry.

If you feel as though you are being limited by not being able to use a racial slur, I must say I am surprised.  You seem to be a pretty decent sort who doesn't feel the need to find 'cutesy' videos just so you can use the N word on the forum.  Particularly after asking if it's okay and being told that it isn't okay.

There's no doubt in my mind that there are plenty of forums where using such language is not only accepted but expected and possibly required.  This is not that place.

AD allows for a great deal more to be expressed, they consider it a part of free speech.

There is a reason there is more than one forum.  Different strokes for different folks.

This is not AD.

AD also has a long-standing rape apologist as a member, Of which is why I never went back.

That depends… can you do so without using the N-word or any similar ethnic slur?

Sigh, I guess I can just type WTF alone.

It’s not a rule about swearing.

Does the policy recognize the mention/use distinction?
