If it is then asterisks should not matter. If someone here used the N word in asterisks they would be banned. So same should go for the C word.

Left out the part about how you got mansplained to by “the group (of male posters) from Great Britain who likes to follow posters and mods around and troll them” about “how, actually, it’s not offensive in Great Britain, so you should shut up.”
You seem to be giving it as good as you get it in this group of threads.
Yea I agree that the word is highly problematic and anecdotally appears to have been used more recently almost out of spite.
But I thought that one of the cool things that originally separated us from 22 was letting people talk freely, and exercising context and good judgment when making mod decisions rather than blanket rules.

I have no desire to participate in a community that shares your values. But this entire thing has consistently been a “fuck your feelings, snowflakes” position from your clique. This isn’t new. This is just you finally admitting it.

I would prefer that mods be empowered to treat posters acting like children as children, the way skydiver did.

It’s all a storm in a teacup but as Flynn says in the other thread insisting it’s sexist wherever it’s used is about ignorance-based parochial, insular American hegemony of the type that got you into the mess your country’s in now more than anything. Still, that’s your problem.

Good to see you’re admitting that you told one of the like only 4 females on the entire site to “shut up” in the thread about the c-word.
I guess this was destined to be the continuation of the previous thread (or at least what I assume it was).
I see both sides throwing stones again (including mods) but jeez I wonder who is going to end up with temp bans this time…

Wait so if the community comes together and says a word should not be censored and a mod says they are going to ban people who use it going against the communities wishes there should be no pushback or criticism?

Then why have rules or banned words. Just let anyone who is a mod make it up as they go.

You’re right.
It has more to do with the “fuck your feelings” attitude on display in this very post, and all across these threads by certain members of the forum. The insistence on use of the c-word (or the “principle” behind it, lol) is just a symptom.

Exemplary use of ignore function imo
