I’m just concerned if all this is gonna get worse in the future.
People should leave it as it is at the end of 2020 and not go further and dwell on the past even more.
Also, for someone doesn't care, you sure wrote quite a bit about the topic.

As a proper response however, I don't think people are passively agreeing. People have been extremely vocal on both sides. I have noted you kind of cheerleading the "lynching isn't racist" arguments from the sidelines and I want to know what you think gives them the winning argument here.In post 1059, Creature wrote:

Fmpov, and I think from the reasonable and educated (at least on the matter) point of view, the removal of a term with such racially charged undertones, and sometimes explicit overtones, is a huge net positive for the site and one which is dearly needed.
So what is the negative to this?Half meme, Half real, All Aristophanes ;)- JingleAri has appeared way too competent for me to even pretend to know what they're thinking

I'd cheerleader the "when someone uses 'lynch' ingame they of course don't mean hostility towards a real life group" argument.In post 1062, Aristophanes wrote:

I already exposed in another forums why the many alternatives to "lynch" being brought up are straight out terrible and/or confusing and I'd rather if mods were allowed to use it to specify "a kill done by a public voting mechanism" and/or to fit the flavor if they decide to do a medieval setting.Sigh-

And any argument that we should somehow keep using a word that will harmful just because we have used it for so long is the same as saying it is okay to glorify a racist with a statue or name a military base after a confederate general.
Just because it is history doesn't mean we should glorify it with public use.Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.
