is the R word a "slur" against? I'm failing to comprehend how a word can universally be a slur without the definition or origin of the word being derogatory.

I'm failing to see why I have 2 violations for a word I was using in context of it's definition:

i can't tell if this is a joke or not


It's a joke in the same sense of people decrying the R word while not also crying words with the same implication.

Their argument is literally "This is offensive so it should be banned, while this isn't as offensive so it should be tolerated."

btw the word st*pid is also ableist and if you ban the r word you have to ban it.

People are digging for words to be banned now


they're pointing out that it's stupid to auto-vio that one word and not the others that can technically be equally as offensive to people

I remember giving at least one HC vio for someone who was repeatedly yelling at people calling them autistic.

The only difference is that autistic isn't inherently an insult, whereas R is at this point, since the term has been completely stricken from the medical vernacular.


Okay, so we should ban "idiot" too since it has been stricken from medical vernacular, right?


By that logic we should ban 'gay' as well, seeing as homosexuality as a disease has been extinguished since DSM-III.

Censoring autistic would be as dumb as censoring N azi


I like how N azi is censored but holocaust isn't.

And be nice outside games. In game you are mere players trying to win. It is not reality. It is a simulation. You can forget friendship there. You do not have to help people there. You just need to play the game without breaking it. Outside the game you can choose to make friends with whoever you want. If you get mad due to a game and then abuse me outside the game, then I will return the favor to you outside the game too.

when i use the r word. i mean it. i genuinely think the person is Red and thus doing what he or she is doing, and that is why i use that word for them. I do not mean it as an insult but a statement to describe their predicament. When someone does not get the simplest thing, I have only one assumption to make. Moreover, the word has a good effect on the players when you use it against them. They actually feel insulted and are compelled to think. Making people angry and using that emotion to your advantage is an inherent part of this game. We all know that when people are taken in hand by their emotions, they lose their grip and make mistakes. So using that in a game of mafia is not at all a bad thing to do. Mafia is literally murdering people. No one cares when we virtually kill people, but if we virtually abuse people they get mad. It is a game where all big boys are playing. It is not like these people have not heard this word before and may get infected or something. I will use all the emotions required to manipulate people. It is what this game is about. It is not that there are not other ways to do it, but I would like to have all options available to me.

people (should) still be getting vios for interchanging the r word for autistic, like they are the same thing, and no one said they shouldn't

but that is not to say that is ever isn't

since the term has been completely stricken from the medical vernacular.


therefore it isn't justifiable (or even necessary) to censor it

Yeah you're right. People call each other autistic on this site because they're being nice to one another.

furthermore, no, if you call someone autistic the way people on this site use it, you're implying it's a bad thing.

homosexuality is not a mental disorder. autism is.

nat said exactly what i was gonna say.

basically, using autustic is like trying to insult someone by calling them gay and meaning it as an insult. u know, like when u were a kid. it's not an insult until u imply its a bad thing intentionally, whereas R always carries that connotation (like f*****)

and riddler, no one here does that any more, because its horrible

R*tard has a use outside medicine anyway. It can be used with regards to mechanical devices not working properly, or any other thing which had a spectrum of progress.

Autistic has no application outside of medicine, and if I tell someone they're autistic on this website, I should get the same punishment as calling someone r*tarded or saying I hope they get cancer.
