Coupled with the fact that you can call white people any word under the sun and it's all peachy. But call blacks one word that they call themselves and suddenly you're a racist.
Slippery slope were on. Great start to the great awakening.
blacks calling themselves this racist term also weaponizes it as well. look at the girl that used it on social media in what I assume was an innocent manner, then having some "triggered" black kid complain about it later so she would get canceled from university. it is a racist term used negatively in all contexts. I used to call friends "motherf*cker" on a regular basis. but when I called my boss one, in the same context, I got fired. blacks using the term are expressing a privilege other races do not have. mostly it is aimed at whites. it is weaponized and it is offensive, even when they say they dont mean it offensively. we have reached the point where we cannot use the term here. sad but true, now will we stretch that envelope and ban other terms? pretty sure that will happen soon. go ahead and downvote if you dont like, I personally think there is an organized effort here to bring us all down, but that is just my opinion.
I agree with your position but disagree with the reasoning.
It's simple..
Context matters. No one here really uses that word. I haven't even seen it until the mods initiated their overreach. If someone is creating a post like the example being used, it's obvious their intent and that they dont belong here. They get blocked & deported by us anyway. Further action against our userbase seems a bit unneccessary, don't you think?
We arent defending free speech "because we want to use the word" the people spouting this nonsense are tyrants creating a problem that doesn't exist. We are defending it because controlled speech isn't free speech. It's not what we stand for at all. And if the mods are going to use the actions of shills to justify enforcing censorship on their own users over a word we dont even use? That's opening the door to add what ever other reasons they want to that list. Sound like mods are compromised, working with the shills. ?♂️
Where have you been the past 4 years+?
How exactly do optics matter?
I wholeheartedly disagree.
