Does it matter how we replace it? Specifically, does it even need to reference any type of death action?

Lol.
So your saying all cops are evil now or something?
You saying cops in general have a good nature is a stupid thing to say.
Did you know that cops who are good and report issues get suspended and fired or forced out by the other cops who think it is more important to stay true to the badge than to do the right thing to the public?

Basically, Ythan is pretty right here, is what I'm saying.

That's why cops don't like Internal Affairs, because they don't like regulations over them.

Can we just change the cop to investigator and pretend that, like real world cops, the cops decided to arrest a person and left it up to the District Attorney Investigation Unit to figure out if they arrested the right guy?

Can we stop having bad faith arguments that just because a word didn't always have racial connotations it means that we can use it freely? It is currently assigned a heavily racial connotation. End of story, doesn't matter that it hasn't always, it matters that it does now and has a history of being used this way.

We all know the noose in the Nascar garage was racial and we all know why and that's why we should be removing it from the site.

I think they clarified earlier that this is only for mods for the time being. So, I don't think LYLO and MYLO are affected.

I agree, however, we've seen that there are some in the community that's willing to die on the hill of "mafia isn't worth playing if we have to use a slightly different word."

Also, there are people willing to claim they don't know what the racial connotations of the word are, but, I've already called them out for bad faith.

What if the mod needs to specify mylo/lylo for a role or for a rule, or even in a setup description?
Ummmmm.... No, not a real thing.

Oh nooooo. People are asking you to stop using a racist term on a website. Your poor poor rights
Next thing you know, people are going to start asking you not to burn crosses on people's lawns despite your burning love of Jesus.

Exactly.
But In the right hands if everyone knew the truth and had full Understandment towards each other no issues occurred.
If the world was ruled by 1 Pure Deity Individual such as myself.

Countries - Gone
Racism - Gone
Politics - Gone
Religion - Gone
War - Gone

It’d be so peaceful.

Actually I made a thing on my notepads about a month ago. Here you go.

War (-) Peace
Religion (-) Understandment and Truth
Politics (-) Council
Countries (-) Earth
Racism (-) Equality

Holy shit.

He just advocated for a benevolent monarchy.

No, not even.

HE JUST ADVOCATED FOR UBERMENCH.

I'm dying.
I believe he is advocating for apotheosis.

Agreed just trying to vouch for Ari in case it were to become a thing.
If anyone actually used the word, they were just waiting for an excuse. It's not on Ari.

There are some situations the former word can be used as long the context it is being used is clear. The latter involves a group of people, or mob, targeting and killing a specific person,
with no further direct connotations

HOLY SHIT WHAT

ARE YOU ACTUALLY SAYING LYNCH HAS NO SOCIAL CONNOTATIONS?

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING
Not in the dictionary.
Well, good thing the world and all conversations take place in the dictionary. I mean, that noose in Bubba Wallace's garage, nothing to do with the fact that he's black. It's not in the dictionary.

That's why you judge the context and not the word.
When was the last time a white man had a noose used against them as a threat?
