poop... why is it frowned upon in the first place?

[STDs4YouAnd4Me]

I always see people getting muted from chats due to using a internet e-bonics in conversation. While I'll agree that the less I see #swagnoscopedumadbro the better, I feel like there has to be some sort of story behind poop for it to be prohibited. The fact is, it's hard to label some things as poop. I'm sure at one point (in fact i'm positive) that "facepalm" was an internet internet e-bonics, yet it's used in our beloved forums. If the internet was big in the late 80s, you'd bet your bottom dollar that 'cool' would be an internet internet e-bonics. Times change, and so do labels.

Also, I've mentioned this before and it's probably worth mentioning again. I find it weird that poop are viewed in such a dark light, but the use of the word 'fag' isn't. Call me old fashioned, but that word is on the same level as dropping the n-bomb. I see that word being used at least 3 times a week during our raids. I've /pe'd it twice with the same response; "just /ignore <player>". In the end, I just find it very strange that #Secretly we are gay is worse than borderline hate crimes.

Kainzo has a large dislike of internet ebonics, is what I gather the reason to be. He doesn't want them used on his server. Pretty sure that's it.

Good movie, but I think you are reading it wrong, he's saying "m e m e s"

I believe it has alot to do with poop, the stupid ones we mute for anyway, are used by idiots who can't form a simple fucking sentence without them. It's a breakdown of communication. Some things that smartasses would say are poop included the simple "lol" and other internet lingo we have picked up along the way. However it can be argued that not all poop are equal. And you are not entitled to the ability to type in chat on this server, it's a privilege. If it is asked of you that you don't vomit out the English language with horrible statements filled with dumb poop, you shouldn't.

I always see people getting muted from chats due to using a **** in conversation. While I'll agree that the less I see #swagnoscopedumadbro the better, I feel like there has to be some sort of story behind ****s for it to be prohibited. The fact is, it's hard to label some things as ****s. I'm sure at one point (in fact i'm positive) that "facepalm" was an internet ****, yet it's used in our beloved forums. If the internet was big in the late 80s, you'd bet your bottom dollar that 'cool' would be an internet ****. Times change, and so do labels.

Also, I've mentioned this before and it's probably worth mentioning again. I find it weird that ****s are viewed in such a dark light, but the use of the word 'fag' isn't. Call me old fashioned, but that word is on the same level as dropping the n-bomb. I see that word being used at least 3 times a week during our raids. I've /pe'd it twice with the same response; "just /ignore <player>". In the end, I just find it very strange that #Secretly we are gay is worse than borderline hate crimes.

TBH m's get annoying when you see them all over the internet, hell some are funny, but not all. HC, even in its hardcore state, is just a place for us to sit and relax. Not a place to be annoyed with the same joke we heard 40 times prier. And onto FAG. The slang term refers to a FLAMBOYANT person, it doesn't particularly mean GAY, but can be a substitute. For instance, if I think you dress like a girl, I can call you a fag, but if I see someone doing something I don't like, most people say "HEY FAG" or "Hey JEWCAKE cut that the FUCK out" So even if you are gay or straight, you should take the insult the same. Which also makes it not a hate or "gaycrime" as the law now considers it.

And honkey is just a word for the color black, if this offends you, you need to grow up. Now, I'm not defending derogatory speech, I could call you an ASSHAT and it still be a hate crime, I'm only pointing out harmless banter.

EDIT: I also mean no offense in my post, I am simply explaining it the way I see it.

i understand the dislike for poop, but i think the people who can't form simple sentences without using them should also be punished for not forming simple sentences without constantly saying degrading, racist, homophobic things in the chat to lure people out of their houses during raids. these are worse than poop and should be treated as such.

Well Kain is a nice guy and lets the retards be retards where majority can't see them. Racial slurs and the like are bannable if spammed too much, but then again there is ./ignore.

snip.

Wow... good luck with life.

flamboyant? what? who uses the word fag to call someone flamboyant which is basically like calling someone gay anyways? victim, you need to realize that some words are just not supposed to be said in modern society. if you go around in real life dropping n bombs, calling people fags, and jewhats, and don't get your ass kicked, then you are running well in life. a good rule of thumb is to not say anything on the internet you wouldnt say in real life.

In the end, I think I need to keep reminding myself that the vast majority of the HC community are barely teenagers, so they don't even realize how idiotic they sound freely using terrible terrible words. If you seriously think that "honkey is just a word for the color black, if this offends you, you need to grow up." then you need to give your head a shake. I'm not saying this to piss you off, I'm giving you worldly advice. Take it, please.

You took me wrong >.< I wasn't defending it at all lol I only mean people shouldn't let it bother them so much. I tend to use proper speech when I can and to the best of my ability.

 

[I_Love_Miners]

its not about being bothered. its just wrong. im not 18 anymore, this stuff isnt 'ok' to just ignore

 

[Kainzo]

I 100% agree that "fag" does not mean "gay" in today's terms.
Have you seen Southpark? they hit the nail on the head. If you come to the internet to be offended, you SURELY will be.

Either way, this thread is being locked - we don't allow the gutter-trash talk here and we probably won't ever.
