Racism, Trench Wars

[Mitch]

Racism should not be a bannable offense in trench wars. Discuss.

[Stultus]

I can summarize my own thoughts with a quote:

1:Mootland Farmer> Dock, what do you think about the 'No racism rule' kinda policy?
1oCk>> we should get rid of it
1oCk>> i think we should deal with racism if people complain about it
1oCk>> otherwise it's fine

[Kolar]

Do you have any supporting arguments or were you just banned?

[Subjugation]

Just what a bunch of 16 yr old white and asian boys need---permission to start calling people ******s.

[genocidal]

Terrible idea and won't ever happen as long as PriitK foots the bills. End of discussion.

I resent that.

he was just banned

I've never been banned for racism. So it's not really a problem for me. It is just annoying to hear someone getting banned for saying some "illegal" word. I don't get offended if someone calls me Milk face or Milky, or cracker. yet they don't get banned while i would if i said N!G. Chats are full of racism anyway, why not can we say something in pubchat? Same policy goes for the "illegal" names. For example Spikey can't use name Spik, cause it's so racist word (atleast in staffs oppinion)

There should't even be a word rasicm. It's just a sad excuse.

[End]

Lets be honest here the racism policy is a bit biased. You can say anything about *****s or wiggers and nothing happens, Asians are a bit of middle ground (halfcasts), but you cant say anything about blacks. They dont care they know its either a joke or some stupid 13 year old. The chats im on ie Danger dsb is full of racism, people are greated with n!g and said goodbye to with a n!g. We shouldnt have people being banned for things like that. It has to be in context of heavy racism ie You stupid n!gger that should be banable, however sup n!g should not.

[Divine Rides]

fuck you, racist, sheltered white boy

what a joke, it is 2006 folks, there's simply nothing cool or acceptable about racism, I understand making fun of the stereotypes, I do, it's funny to me, but the douche bags we play with say this shit maliciously and with concentrated ignorance. keep the barbaric, archaic bullshit out of the game. this game will thrive if it is the game of the progressive thinker. the end.

[Richard Creager]

This game being the game of the progressive thinker is quite a pipedream.

Doesn't take much to simply keep your mouth shut. Try it sometime. Getting banned for racism is nigh on impossible once you master the lost art of shutting the fuck up.

Seriously. We've had lengthy discussions about whether or not to keep racism outlawed. After all, it's seemingly stupid to keep it illegal when you can practically swear your tits off without any repercussion. The case is that impressionable, pre-teens kids still play this game. And while you can rely on family and friends to teach them to swear like troopers, we still reserve the obligation to preserve a place where racial typecasting does not apply. A place where if you bring any type of old or new racist language into play, you get removed from play.

If you don't like it, I'm sure there's another two-bit SSC zone out there who would welcome you and your redneck philosophies into their arms.

I'm so sick of hearing that bullshit argument, because it's always the most popular excuse. "Oh, wtfz0r! Dave Chappelle says ****** all day long, but when I say it, I get my ass kicked! Boo hoo, it's unfair."

Black people=centuries of race-based oppression
White people=no history of race-based oppression

There's a pretty clear reason why there is a double-standard there.
