Go read that post and set the comments from "top". No one here is actively using the N word and to pretend they are is to create a divisive problem out of smoke to derail our movement.
Although I haven't personally seen anyone here use the N word, I get why lifetime bans are being handed out for using it. It's the most divisive thing you can say in America, any screenshot of any shill using it could be used to smear our movement. Racial division is the opposite of what Q stands for. With all the journalists trying to smear us, taking a hardline on the most racially charged word in our language makes sense.
3 days into modhood pushing perma bans for something that wasn't happening isn't about protecting the integrity of our community, it's about abusing his power with "permission".
u/catsfiveu/Son_of_Honkler Most people seem to see it but this situation is striking me as one where Uhtred has alts or well meaning newbies backing him up.
Yes. People should be able to use naughty, Constitutionally protected language.
Yes, moderation against those is fine -- but it singled out one word, and only one word, his attitude was horse shit leftist tier (and so was yours) and it was far from the best way to do it.
What's better: A gentle reminder of the rules stickied while saying that there has been an uptick in rule breaking content, or specifically choosing one word that is a no no to a group of hardcore Constitutionalists?
It should've been a gentle reminder of the rules -- all of them -- and the mod should have had a better attitude. They failed everyone here, and narrowly hammered in one word is being a no-no and it's the same word the left has been simultaneously using nonstop and telling people they can't say.
It's really bad and has now completely tainted the discussion.
I have been told that you can't be racist against whites no matter what slur you use against us, but whites can't dare say a word everyone else seemingly can.
I don't like the word and never have but that mod fucked the movement hard by doing this.
There were so many better ways of doing this, and his responses in that thread were off the rails.

u/catsfive u/Son_Of_Honkler Honkler I'm tagging you in all these to act as a canary.

Actually I just argued all night with multiple people who think they should be allowed to use the N word.

The answer should be super easy.
I disagree with the sticky, created unneeded conflict. I agree with the concept, no racial slurs. What say you to this?
That's fine.
