PSA: Hate Speech

RE: PSA: Slurs
Is there a reason why the ban is selective, only targeting sex, sexual orientation, gender and race? Are these sacred cows? (They make the best hamburger).

What about personal belief, political alliances and such basics as looks and intelligence?v

RE: PSA: Slurs
Jesus fucking cartwheeling CHRIST people, how hard is this to understand???  Leave off the constant 'what ifs' and 'what abouts' and 'how about if I says'.  If you have to ask about a word, then DON'T USE THE FUCKING WORD.  Or - if you really don't think you can go another day with using it - PM someone on staff and we'll take it up.

God's balls, guys.

If such became a big ass problem, you’d see a rule against such too. Currently that’s an implicit rule sitting under Prime Directive and flaming.

It's a purposeful technique used by people who either A. just want to be a pain in the ass or B. just want to be a pain in the ass. You'll get used to it.

Yes, they are sacred cows. You can help which idiot politician you like, being an idiot or believing something stupid. As for looks, I'm not sure we've ever had an asshole that bad on the forum, but if you start making fun of people's looks, we can revisit that.

Wait, there was that time the milk lady said I was cute in a derogatory way. Super weird, but I liked it.

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.

Personally, I like being called 'snowflake'.  I take it to mean that I'm unique and can get together with a bunch of my pals and cause traffic jams and power cuts.

Sure.

If the intent of the user is to inflict injury on the recipient of the insult - with an expectation of harm - it' s exactly the same.

To some people - just calling them a Democrat is enough to incite rage.

Honestly, I mean if I’m going to be really really truthful with you, I think you and everyone else who keeps pretending like they can’t tell the difference between an average insult and the n word are complete fucking liars. I call bullshit.

If you like to jerk off over your keyboard whilst giving us a coy smile “teehee, I think calling someone ugly and calling someone a n*gger is exactly the same”, well whatever blows your skirt up, but I think you’re lying.
