Not a commentary on the rule but this does remind me of an interesting read I came across:

BAN THIS MAN

Lunaro · 09-16-2018, 01:00 AM

this is actually hilarious. I'd like to know who voted for this idea so we can point and call them words that are slightly less offensive than the banned words

I think HO has plenty of examples in this thread to provide people with precedent to this change. Let's see how that goes.

Why are there 3 HO members on calgary? Wasn't there a rule to stop HO members from being on the same team cause it's easy to be agreeable? There's one to stop the commish and co-commish on there, should probably be one on the entire head office right.

Also there's not even a co-commish right now.

And 3 HO members that are scarecrows too. Sweg has left the Ho discord too.

Are you kidding me? Automatically suspended without appeal for simply using the words...this is just not thought out. First of all, gay and retard resulting in an instant suspension? Are you serious right now? Some words I agree should never be used such as the N word with the r but words like gay and retard have uses outside of being used to attack someone. There are acceptable times to say it without offending people who are LGBT (including myself) and there are acceptable ways to use the word retarded without it being used offend mentally challenged people.

There's also nothing about needing context of the entire conversation or the way it is used in the wording of it. People might be using this educationally or in a jesting way to their friends or people also in their community and yet you treat them as all subject to an automatic suspension because HO believes that they are protecting minority groups and creating a "safe space"

I'll give you "gay" having appropriate contexts, but what appropriate context does the word "retard" still have?

If you can't make a meeting for work then often times you will retard the meeting.

Yeah and the form of retard that's being banned is the noun and adjective, not the verb when it's used in a benign way like that. Like I can't tell if everyone is trolling or just stupid at this point because this really isn't so complicated.

No, the rule clearly states "a.

Pay attention to the numeral it is under.

HO in charge of a list of offensive things is insane. I'm not even as high as these almighty fucks presenting this to us as law.
