New Rule: Replace the Word "Lynch" in Games

Flavor Leaf · Post Post #1150 (ISO) » Wed Jul 01, 2020 7:47 am

Age is indicative of experience, and while that’s not a definite measure, I definitely feel a giant change of how I saw the world from ages 20-25.

Life experience, seeing different parts of the world, meeting different people, all effects your perspective

We are the same thing.
We are Humans.
Things and Terms aren’t humans.
Last thing I want to say and hopefully I don’t end up finding myself back on this forum post.

Yeah, the racists are the ones getting gunned down in the streets right now...
Yeah, I need to get out of this country if I care about my human rights. This is about to become a facist shithole soon.
By all means get the fuck out signed everyone.

Now Yes certain events in history were bad and very disgusting.
But it has nothing to do with a term as a whole.
Just because a term can refer to something that may appear to be racist doesn’t mean it is.

Ever heard the saying “Life is what you make it”.
That applies here.
Yes the word is known for being bad in the past but that just means someone can take initiative and change the word from being bad and degrading to something good and pure. (Or at least not as bad as people make it look like it is)
People can change so why can’t terms or things change?

You know, what is hilarious is that "I'm 14 and I'm deep" post that was racist earlier has suddenly come full circle and is being hilariously applied to the other side of the argument.

I know school is out for the summer, but do you have to post like this?
Lol I’m 20.

It is not the most practical and exceptions should be made for setups involving a setting that uses lynch for non-racial reasons.

So if a Buddhist dons a swastika avatar is that okay?

They have it up for non-Nazi reasons!

+1 on Cancel as a new term

This post right here is way more eloquent than I could put my thoughts at the given moment:

In post 113, Elbirn wrote:Mods: This was a good decision and long over-due. Thank you.

Nay-sayers: I'd like to say that for one thing, several of you appear to be not American. And as a result, you don't have the context of exactly why so many Americans are uncomfortable with that word. I don't want that to sound condescending, simply that you are going to feel differently about the word as a result. In other contexts than mafia the word lynch can be taken to mean an execution as a result of some kind of "mob justice", typically by hanging. So maybe it just doesn't seem like a big deal to you. In the United States that word explicitly recalls lynchings of black men, not just throughout our whole history, or in the 1950's, but
even currently
as several other users have pointed out! We're having cases of black men being found dead hung from trees and our police rule them "suicides".

It is really the most minor of inconveniences to update your lingo to not include a word that carrys so much baggage, please just be cool.

Also this:

In post 263, Nahdia wrote:yall, there are some seriously disappointing takes here.

Caring about not making people uncomfortable or hurting them is never a bad thing. Filtering ourselves to be a more inclusive, welcoming community isn't hard.

This isn't censorship, this is kindness.

Alisae I can promise you that you and me and any other white people will not be at the front of the line for having our rights taken away under any impending fascism in the United States.

I wish the people on power would actually work on giving the people basic human rights like health care but unfortunately thats not how ruling works

Exactly.

If the world was ruled by 1 Pure Deity Individual such as myself.

True, but I really think that if I stood here and said <I am against the word lynch because my people in the trans community are dying> it would diminish the point and be disingenuous.

Especially since the majority of those deaths are BLACK Trans women.

So... valid, but not the main point here tbh

Btw it's more of a Hindu thing and just got absorbed into Buddhism as kind of an afterthought like a lot of other Hindu-flavored content in Buddhism that isn't actually germane to Buddhism's own original content, because Buddhism developed in a Vedic Hindu milieu.

its not about the word. I don't exactly care about the word. I'm argueing for the sake of argueing and what I dislike is that people think that being assholes for the sake of "taking action against racism" is ok
