PSA: Hate Speech

[pocaracas]

This is the bit you (and everyone in "this country") fail to understand...


Decades ago, this sort of thing was predicted by the Star Trek folk:

CHEKOV: We do believe all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable human rights.
AZETBUR: Inalien... If only you could hear yourselves? 'Human rights.' Why the very name is racist. The Federation is no more than a 'homo sapiens' only club.

I don't even get your point. This site is owned by Americans, so yeah, if something's offensive to Americans in particular, and egregiously so, it may perk our interest if it's being abused by a subset of users. I get that the language isn't the same in your country, but that should only make it easier for you. You don't use these words anyway, so you're all set. Lucky you. Moving on.

My point.... think about it... you're a smart one, you'll get there.

In all the years I've been here, I haven't seen anyone abusing those special words. Sure they've been used on occasion and dealt with accordingly.
I'll say it again, the rule is worded too broadly, while it is clear from this thread (and other conversations on slack) that it is mostly, if not exclusively, about the n-word.

For example, make this a subsection of the trolling rule: we will accept no instances of the following hate-speech related words - word-1, word-2, ... word-n (get it? hilarious, I know -.-' )
