The "Racism" Rule

[Dylan]

Same with the 'fa­ggot' rule really. What's the big deal about it. What's the big difference between that and any other swearword that is allowed.

Because it's usually used as a slur toward gays

And *** isn't just a slur that is commonly used against black people?

I'm not saying I'm for words like f*ggot and n***er being bannable, I'm saying why it is bannable.

Saying the word should not, and to be technical, is not disallowed. I've already said why saying "cigarette got" is not homophobic, nor is saying "nigg er". Racism is the belief that one race is superior or inferior to another. Saying "Nigg er" does not, in any flipping way, make me a racist. Makes me an insulting, offensive bastard, but not a racist. The rules do not specifically state that "nigg er" and "Fagg ot" aren't allowed. So if we assume you're not disrespecting anyone with the use of the word, it's technically, as per the rules, allowed.
