Malicious use of slurs against players that are based on race and/or ethnicity. We will show absolutely no tolerance towards racist and xenophobic ideals.

Honestly, I have seen people on this site call me many things (most of which they don't understand what my situation is) in a hateful way. But I do not take offense, and it does not change my mindset unless if that person makes a physical change, such as making a meta to lynch me d1 every game. That is basically general hate versus targeted hate (harrassment).
there is no top-down approach to racism because it's about human behaviour. I find it sadly amusing that people actually believe in the HAH NO SLURS RACISM IS CANCELLED story
banning words is not the solution either because language isn't restrictive in options. In fact, users of slurs are in some cases (say, using the word to make an argumentative point) less racist than those unironically believing in and propagating racist stereotypes, and holding biased opinions towards certain races.

Jeff I'm not going to comment on you commenting on me commenting on what you say, honestly, I'm not a boor.
It can refer to anyone nowadays. regardless of history, it has been socially fixed to mean a friend or a set of people in general. Take Mr. Moreno's example in this instance.
just make me admin and I'll be supreme ruler of EM, no mods, nothing, just anarchy and my occasional random banning of people I don't particularly like

Let's just overthrow the corrupt Moderators and enact a Tribunal system instead, let the proletariat rise up and reclaim EM's former glory.
okay, but just saying your supposed f-slur isn't necessarily hateful, it is just achknowledging you as something. i mean, there is more about you than being gay, and you don't necessarily like that particular word for instance, but that does not mean that it is hate or harrassment.
Personally I don't really like the word rétard but it just fits so aptly, if someone can give me an equally usable word I would gladly use that instead
to be fair you could also make the argument that the n word 'refers to' a black person, it still is a word rooted in hatred and I'm fairly certain most of us here have a problem with the n word
a lot of people don’t choose to be offended it’s just a visceral reaction they have to certain vocabulary it’s just how their mind works. I know it’s easy to rectify all this debate in your head with a simple answer because your knowledge of the world is very limited but it’s simply just not that simple. If the solution was “just don’t be offended!” then it would have happened by now dude

The EM Secret Police are coming for you.
But Jeff come on human decency *scoff*. That sounds like some futuristic man.
the Infamous “maybe you shouldn’t be offended” argument instead of just advocating for, idk, human decency

>> Who writes the new rules anyways? Is it moderator responsibility or? Does Lucid hire a team of Lawyers to go brainstorm and then write them into legislation?
