Who on this site

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 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.
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.

Wait, we're allowed to call people autistic but not r*tarded?

That's some bs right there.
it's pretty much established that anyone who has taken a ridiculously strong stance on giving a hc vio for saying the r word once without hateful intent for people with mental illnesses is just a hypocritical sjw because they refuse to take the same stance on other things that can be considered slurs such as "autistic or crazy"

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

I honestly wasn't going to put anything as the other appeal he wrote was on a note.

whats amazing is how many people on this site are offended by "ableist slurs" but use "autistic" as an insult.

well, i'm not going to undermine a mod that badly by singlehandedly overturning a violation that wasn't even appealed.

There is no use in trying to explain this to you because you are clearly content to live a life of blissful ignorance. When someone gives you a logical response, instead of trying to apply and understand it, you lash out. Like Sims said, appeal it if you don't think it is warranted.

I think it's time to start being unpleasant.

OK but HC has been a rule for a while now.
It's also my fault that the mods suck.

He's already gone, Zovea. You'll have to wait until next time he visits to get back on your knees and beg for his e-approval.
This is pathetic, despite it being from you.

this rule has been around for a long time it's just that zovea's finally gotten around to complaining about it.
Do you know why we don't play? Because the game sucks. The game sucks because we don't play. I play, games suck but they suck a little less by virtue of me being in them.

The real joke is I have a violation for 2 games where I hurt someone's feelings so they struck back by reporting me for something petty I didn't even realize was against the rules because IT'S NOT WRITTEN IN THE RULES. 3 months for people to stoop this low and report me for something I was saying pretty frequently because playing with people that are content to be mediocre and don't know how to win games is frustrating.
