New Rule: Replace the Word "Lynch" in Games

[shaft.ed]

what us Understandment
why is it capitalized
why am i engaging

[brassherald]

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

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

(Fuck I’m just gonna stop reading please help me someone!)

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.

[Alisae]

LLD, is it okay to gun down people in the streets if you think racist?

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.

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

Wow the mask is fully off rn, isn't it.

Tell me honestly, how much time DO you spend on chan boards?

First off 0, second off, I believe in treating people equally.

[kuribo]

I'll tell you a story.

I used to use that gif of Ed Norton in American History X. Yeah, the one where he's curb stomping the Black dude. In my mind I didn't consider it racially offensive, because I knew my heart and to me it was just some edgelord shit. Then one day, and I remember vividly that it was a game GreyICE was modding, Revolution Mafia, I posted the gif as I had several times before. MattP, a person I deeply respect, called me out for it. And I mean he was furious. Let me tell you, I felt like shit for pissing off and hurting one of my favorite posters.I apologized sincerely, and do you know what I did then? I never fucking used it again because I understood how I had inadvertently hurt someone I respected.

It's not that Fucking hard to stop doing insensitive things. You just... don't do them. If you really and truly care about the people in your community, you make it a point to not be harmful to them. You grow as a person and you make their lives just that tiny bit more pleasant.

Oh nooooo. People are asking you to stop using a racist term on a website. Your poor poor rights

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

The bolded is all you need to see, move along.

Seriously, this is a sufficient reason to just ignore. This is literal baiting.

Let’s not for get some people take racism to a whole new level.

(Dammit I gotta find something else to do with my day off, I keep having the urge to respond FUCK I can never control myself!!)

I remember this.

This is a lesson people should take to heart. This is goodposting.

Also, people should fucking watch american history X. That is also a good lesson.

[TrueSoulEnergy]

FYI I half agree with Alisae’s Last part here, as explained above.

[Equinox]

Never said that.
I said don’t dwell on the past.

LAST WEEK. LAST FUCKING WEEK.

They argue the truth, that’s another issue. People try to act like it’s not an issue, or truly don’t know/don’t care because it doesn’t “involve them”

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Never said that.
I said don’t dwell on the past.

LAST WEEK. LAST FUCKING WEEK.

Despite me not caring about the “lynch” term.
I thought I’d share this in case other stuff is brought up.
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?
Spoiler Alert - Anything and Anyone can Change.

Again, you have been shown multiple times that is it currently known for being bad in the present as well.

[brassherald]

Never said that.

LAST WEEK. LAST FUCKING WEEK.

Equinox, he said that in the past, don't dwell on it now.

He's a god now.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Would it be too much

to go to the title thread and nominate him for

Benevolent Dick-tator.

Okay then, call someone the N word.
Right now.
Make it positive.

No?
Okay then.
Because this is the same argument.

Words can change in meaning. That's why

"Fag"

and "lynch" and many others are not appropriate in our current society.
Give it time to become uncharged and then maybe the word can be reclaimed.
But while it holds an actively negative connotation, that will not change.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

the answer is yes, but honestly, I'm just dying over here

Ari, don't get banned. I know what you are going for, but I am pretty sure the mod team has a policy against baiting people into bannable offenses. and sayign the N word would absolutely be one.

There are other ways to teach him. If that's your thing.

I've never been more ashamed to be Canadian.

Please tell me you're not from Newfoundland. Please.

Please.

[Ythan]

I hear it's censored in which case I'm not sure it counts as baiting.

[Cephrir]

No past
Only understandment

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I hear it's censored in which case I'm not sure it counts as baiting.

Fair. Still trying to err on the side of "let's not get people with half a sense of ethics banned accidentally" but yeah

[Creature]

That's why

"Fag"

and "lynch" and many others are not appropriate in our current society.

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.
