New Rule: Replace the Word "Lynch" in Games

[TrueSoulEnergy]

See that’s also a thing.
Certain “Terms” become “we don’t say that here” based upon some event in history.
Rather it be IRL History or Site History.
When the term itself isn’t that bad.
Why do people compare that term to other events in history.
If I wanted to just to be a dick I could make it so like 100+ words become banned.
That’s my point.
It’s stupid.

You know what it says in the encyclopedia about Brazil? Here’s Wikipédia:

Brazil was inhabited by numerous tribal nations prior to the landing in 1500 of explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral, who claimed the area for the Portuguese Empire. Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until 1808, when the capital of the empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro. In 1815, the colony was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. Independence was achieved in 1822 with the creation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The ratification of the first constitution in 1824 led to the formation of a bicameral legislature, now called the National Congress. The country became a presidential republic in 1889 following a military coup d'état. An authoritarian military junta came to power in 1964 and ruled until 1985, after which civilian governance resumed. Brazil's current constitution, formulated in 1988, defines it as a democratic federal republic.[17] Due to its rich culture and history, the country ranks thirteenth in the world by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.[18]

Do you see the problem with history?

[AniX]

I think a lot of people are kinda missing my point but oh well

I don't know what value you thought "Actually, setting aside the actual point of this thread, let's debate the word origins of lynch" brought to the thread.

[Nero Cain]

It comes from "lynch law" which was vigilante justice carried out against blacks

I think this was absolutely false.

Like I certainly understand that

NOW

lynches are so synomunus with the KKK lynching black people but that's not where the term started and that's what I had an issue with.

[Aristophanes]

Kind of seems like people are imputing opinions to Nero that he hasn't expressed, because he had a quibble regarding the details of the word's historical origin

It's almost like he shouldn't have had a quibble like that in the first place

yes, lest just erase history.

Nobody is trying to erase history

you dumb twat

!
P.edit - sorry

What we are trying to do is highlight the racial implications of the word "lynch", which for some unknown reason you have decided to pedantically fight us on!

So fuck off with your holier than thou history lesson and get with the program!

Lol people need to not over react so much.
Yes people can take authority to an extent.
But people are overreacting.
If that’s the site rule so be it I’m just saying people are taking things so heavily.
I do and always have believed in equality but nothing beyond that point that people seem to go across.
Once you go past that you will brake boundaries and set limitation to something that will only hurt in the long run.
Look at it this way.
There is no higher being as there is no lower being
Humans/Aliens/Animal Evolutions/Robots are no different from one another.
Everyone is but a single deity in this world. What each individual does is up to them and as such can cause distress to other individuals then someone needs to prevent that and so on so forth.
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that certain stuff doesn’t or isn’t meant to refer to other stuff but anything related to it gets punished which is questionable.
An example is EVERY SINGLE TIME something bad happens with someone doing something and being banned or something.
Like I remember recently someone left a clan.
And what PEOPLE FUCKIN DO THAT’S STUPID is they over react and make things more then what they actually are.
They said the “20” year old dated a “13” year old girl which was false.
But people fuckin believe that BS.
What actually happened was this guy would always support his fans because they pay allot to see him.
And he’s NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE TO THEM LIKE HALF THE PEOPLE I FUCKIN SEE.
So he sends pictures of himself or something like that to his fans.
Well, one of his fans asks to kiss him and she was “13” and he did because he respects his fans and it’s nothing actually serious.
But people make it look more then it actually is.

I’m sick of the shit people do TBH.
Anywho so be it I’ll just use the word “Jettison” from now on, on this site.
No biggy. Just thought I’d express my thoughts on how I don’t get half of the fuckin earth logic.

What the fuck. WHAT THE FUCK.

Do you see the problem with history?

What a fucking fantastic post

[Pink Ball]

Dude Nero is just saying "acknowledge that the origin of the word "lynch" was not towards black people" which is a little silly take but it's not racist

[AniX]

Lycan's post about the origins of the word were supplemental to the point of the thread, not controlling on it. Bringing it up is just "Well, actually"ing in the middle of a serious discussion.

[Umlaut]

Kind of seems like people are imputing opinions to Nero that he hasn't expressed, because he had a quibble regarding the details of the word's historical origin

It's almost like he shouldn't have had a quibble like that in the first place

Why not?

I mean, it's kind of tangential to the actual point of whether the use of the word does harm in the here and now, I'll agree with that. But if the origin is irrelevant and not worth quibbling about, then it was just as irrelevant when Lycanfire, to whom he was replying, brought it up in the first place.

edit

wow a lot of other replies got posted but I'll just leave this as is and we can pretend it was ten posts up from here

[scotmany12]

Not sarcastic btw

[TrueSoulEnergy]

Up to 3 people I am now insinuating as racist

Well they shouldn’t be fuckin racist.
We are all the fuckin same thing.
And no one should be fuckin offended by stuff that isn’t actually racist.
Just because you can find something that can make the “term” appear to be racist doesn’t mean it is.

[Porkens]

I figured, glad you got it.

Embrace the Truth.

[Ythan]

If I wanted to just to be a dick I could make it so like 100+ words become banned.

You overestimate your relevance.

[Ythan]

Just because you can find something that can make the “term” appear to be racist doesn’t mean it is.

Are those quotes meant to imply that lynch isn't actually a term.

He's talking about you, bud.

[xRECKONERx]

It comes from "lynch law" which was vigilante justice carried out against blacks

I think this was absolutely false.

Like I certainly understand that

NOW

lynches are so synomunus with the KKK lynching black people but that's not where the term started and that's what I had an issue with.

real talk

does it matter where it began?

because all this WELL ACKSHUALLY IT'S NOT ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE is beginning to sound like dog whistling

it has a very specific, contextually relevant point to a lot of people in this thread

so what exactly does arguing about the "real" linguistic origins of a word matter?

[Pink Ball]

Porkens I think your post went right through my head, what was your point? (I think I got it but I'd rather ask)

[TrueSoulEnergy]

If I wanted to just to be a dick I could make it so like 100+ words become banned.

You overestimate your relevance.

It ain’t hard to compare no no speak of that events into a “Term” that people use making it so they can’t use it anymore.
Why people do it?
No clue.

Well he wasn't actually included cause i just assumed they are and edgy 14 year old troll but sure include them too.

At least 4 people. At least.

[Aristophanes]

Itt TSE has good takes

I take it back.

[Lycanfire]

I mean, it's kind of tangential to the actual point of whether the use of the word does harm in the here and now, I'll agree with that. But if the origin is irrelevant and not worth quibbling about, then it was just as irrelevant when Lycanfire, to whom he was replying, brought it up in the first place.

Somebody was claiming that the word didn't have anything to do with its usage in the Americas. I posted that it is an American word.

Stop scumsiding.

[Pink Ball]

Also is JamSV an alt of TSE?

Seriously though. What is your point? What you are trying to accomplish with your "but actually" bullshit right now?
