Both. I want to talk about mafia in mafia games. I'd prefer that be one of the few places I don't have to worry about USPOL or any of the other crazy shit going on right now.In post 194, N wrote:

Most slurs I'm aware of don't have a legitimate utility within a language that has little to nothing to do with any sort of prejudicial or discriminatory views. I'm also not aware of a particularly large sum of slurs, however.In post 222, DkKoba wrote:

I've literally never heard the word "chink" used as anything other than to refer to a flaw in someone's armor.

There are certain toxic mindsets held by people on this site that thankfully keep to politics and the speak easy. I avoid those places and stick to playing mafia (which is the only reason I'm really here anyways) and everything is fine. Once it starts leaking into mafia, however, I'm just not interested in participating.In post 248, DkKoba wrote:Enter you just cancelled a game over this thread I'm actually a bit amused.is cancelled.

Turns out I wasn't talking about not being called one. This doesn't explain why I haven't heard anyone say it about my best friends. This doesn't provide any support for the argument that using the word for it's original intended use is in any way prejudiced or discriminatory, which is the original point I was making. Just saying I haven't heard it used as a slur before this site.In post 258, Errantparabola wrote:sounds like theres a reason no ones called u a chink beforeis cancelled.

The only heavy racial connotation associated with the word "lynch" is the one applied to it by sheltered (largely white) social justice warriors who want to promote some form of change in the world and can't figure out how to do it, so instead of just trying to be good, understanding human beings who try to hold themselves to a high standard and lead by example, they victimize themselves and minorities and put the blame on the way people speak.In post 289, brassherald wrote: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?

Because, you know, it serves as such a reminder for some people.
I guarantee this didn't start because someone said "lynch" offends me. It started because someone on site decided that for someone else because it's easier to put the blame on something easy like a word and solve that for them than it is to accept that sometimes the best you can do about a problem is be a good person and treat people how you'd like to be treated.is cancelled.

No. I don't think anyone should die on this hill. I think it's ridiculous that it's come to this discussion in the first place. I doubt I'll die on this hill -- I don't think I've said anything egregious enough for anyone to stab me -- and if I do, it will mean the site's in a place where I'm not losing much anyways. I'm legitimately upset you seem to think this is a shameful stance to take, but I won't support turning forum games into racial, political, or social commentary, nor am I particularly interested in spending any significant amount of time censoring myself because someone might go out of their way to be offended by it.In post 302, Vi wrote:on a serious note, Enter

If you're intending on banning me, here's a good last post for you:
I'm a member of the site because I enjoy playing mafia and I have friends here. I expect people who are in situations they disagree with to bring up their discontent and if it becomes obvious they are in a situation they cannot change, they should leave such a place. I have lived such behavior when I encountered unfathomably toxic mindsets in the Speakeasy and other parts of the site. It is apparent I am involved in such a situation again, so I will not be a game moderator given the petty censorship of site administration of game moderators. For this reason I intend to moderate no games. It doesn't matter what word or phrase the site decided it's game moderators could not use, and regardless of whether or not I was planning on using it anyways, I won't put myself in situations where I have to deal with people like that.is cancelled.

My argument is "I oppose all politically based censorship," or close enough to it. Your statements as to why it can't be that are invalid given I'm unaware of any preceding site-wide decree from the administration banning the use of any specific word or words. If you'd like to show me a post that serves the same purpose as this one but for a different word, I'll relinquish my point, but given your argument seems to be more of that "people shouldn't use words that hurt other people and risk administrative action for doing so" is a form of censorship, I'd disagree with you.In post 345, AniX wrote:
Ok, so explain it to me. Why is this one word so important that you will cancel your entire game over it? Is it, as you say, you see the removal of the word as some blatant political act? If so, do you object to other politically based censorship that routinely occurs in games? Apparently not, those restrictions have been in place for a very long time, LONG before you even joined and you had no difficulty adhering to them. Slurs on the basis of orientation are relatively newly banned, for example. I recall referring to things as "gay" as a way to dismiss it was very vogue during the early years, but surely you wouldn't be able to refer to an argument in a mafia game you find lacking as "gay" now. I don't recall you cancelling any games over that policy stance, but perhaps I missed it.In post 334, Enter wrote:

It seems like your argument can't be "I oppose all politically based censorship" because you don't have any large objection to it otherwise. It seems like your argument is specifically "I oppose censorship on words I like and want to keep using". Which is an understandable position but not a very logical one, so we must conclude it is an emotional one and...here we are.is cancelled. Apologies to all who signed up.[/color]-

I know she has been on the site for a time significantly longer than I and has better relationships with more people, and even if you were going to discount the fact that she seems to hold sway with a large portion of the site and seems like a very nice, reasonable person who a lot of people like and might be able to get administration to see her way if she felt that way on a subject, she definitely knows more about the banning policies of the site moderation team, so a statement like this holds at least a little weight.In post 330, Vi wrote:despite not actually answering the questions, this is a clear "yes" to the first question and "no" to the second question

Yes. To be fair, though, I've wanted to leave for a while now, I've stuck around because I like mafia and I have friends there.In post 381, AniX wrote:Ok, so your argument that this being an official and specific decree about the word, rather than the word being banned as part of a general decree about slurs, that makes it a special case worth leaving the site over?
However, I'm really not a fan of any of the following.
1. Censorship. Site-wide administration censoring game moderators specifically depriving them the use of a word that has heavy site culture. To be honest, at least part of me is just pissed that someone else thought it was a good idea to tell me what to do here. If the administration had said "Lynch is a word that has heavy racial implications right now, we're asking that game moderators don't use it in games," I'd probably have just moved on with my life. Petty, I know, but that's how I feel and I don't care enough in the other direction to get over it.
2. Precedent. I've felt for a while now that bans were unjustly given out based on a person's politics and how those views contradicted the views of the moderation team, and I've received a warning before because someone took words I said and used them for an alternate meaning. My post obviously did not mean the terms in the way that the person who reported me reported them for being used, but the fact that the word itself was used was what the moderation team was concerned with. I didn't particularly speak up about it at the time of any of such bans since I generally speaking try to avoid politics and other talk like that anyway and I didn't mind the warning, I just avoided the person in question, but I've feared for a while now that it's moving in this direction. Now that the team has declared its intent moving forward is to make its political views the mandatory views held on the site despite whether or not you want any part in the politics whatsoever, I'm not really interested in staying on the site, especially given the fact that the site's views seem to lean to the extreme, and it is ever more difficult to hold a moderate position.is cancelled.

I'm gonna level with you because I feel like you level with me, but TBH I felt the same way about you. I was hesitant to join your game because I've seen the same from you, and that's part of why I replaced out and didn't touch the dead thread. The difference between you and me is that this site has a tendency to support views like yours to the extreme, so finding people who disagree with you is going to be rarer, and it doesn't help your bias when a lot of those people are banned for having views dissimilar to yours.In post 419, Ginngie wrote:

1. Sure.In post 427, AniX wrote:1. Ok, but do you understand how that is an emotional position coming from a place of being upset?
2. This seems to contradict your agreement with my statement though. If you are concerned about your words being taken out of context to mean something you didn't intend, wouldn't a more explicit rule be BETTER to solve that issue? There is no room for error here on what the mod's position on "lynch" is. If they had pursued the method you suggest and folded it into a general rule against bigotry, I suspect you'd be quite perturbed and rightfully so when a mod slide into your inbox to say "Please stop using lynched, it is against site rules against bigotry".
I think the problem is you consider removing the word lynch an extreme position when it is in fact a VERY moderate position, especially in the soft way the mods have decided to enact it. If you truly 100% consider something as minor as this an extreme political position, I think you are probably right this isn't the site for you because you are just completely out of step with the morality of most everyone else here and that is going to be fun for nobody involved.
2. I'm not particularly concerned with people taking my words out of context. People who take offense where none is intended are not the sort of people I'm particularly interested in spending my time around anyways.
If you think your views are moderate, you're welcome to that stance, I just disagree with you.is cancelled. Apologies to all who signed up.[/color]-

Maybe not, I thought you did, but if you didn't, you didn't. I wouldn't know because I never looked. I never brought the point up because I'm not the sort of person who just starts telling people off every time I have a disagreement with them or I dislike their stance on a matter. Plenty of people have given me loads of opportunity to say some pretty mean ugly things here by saying more personal shit first, and I haven't because I'm trying to be reasonable. If you're gonna take this as me trying to get back at you, whatever, to be honest I don't actually care all that much what your opinion is of me, and it was likely a bad idea to try to talk to you in the first place.In post 437, Ginngie wrote:
this is a bad takeIn post 431, Enter wrote:
I'm gonna level with you because I feel like you level with me, but TBH I felt the same way about you. I was hesitant to join your game because I've seen the same from you, and that's part of why I replaced out and didn't touch the dead thread. The difference between you and me is that this site has a tendency to support views like yours to the extreme, so finding people who disagree with you is going to be rarer, and it doesn't help your bias when a lot of those people are banned for having views dissimilar to yours.In post 419, Ginngie wrote:
seriously every time I see you post, all you do is get in fights and shit up threads over the most asinine arguments and you need to reflect because when you're getting into fights with everyone, you gotta realize the common factor in all those is youIn post 416, Ginngie wrote:

and I never gave you access to the dead thread and im glad you're trying to find agency in something you had no literal say in and never brought that point up until I told you to fuck off.is cancelled. Apologies to all who signed up.[/color]-
