New Rule: Replace the Word "Lynch" in Games

[Equinox]

I suggest the word "hang" as a replacement.

This is not to step on the list moderators' toes, as I am posting as a user right now: hanging is a notorious means of lynching, so it will carry the same racially charged connotation.

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.

It is not like people are not actually being lynched in the United States in the midst of global protests against anti-Black police brutality or anything.

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

LAST WEEK. LAST FUCKING WEEK.

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.

I'm very glad that we've established that we can also use homophobic slurs when it's practical.
