While the game is on the topic of getting rid of racial slurs, can we also add the slur for people with mental handicaps to the filtered list? 

 

Its fucking embarrassing that I even have to type this.

 

I see the same 10 year olds who use the n-word also throwing around the r-word. 

 

I'm not a fucking liberal snowflake, this is a RSPS and just seeing that toxic shit in chat is so embarrassing.

Same deal, I fully support banning all of this, as it's childish and not needed for our community <3

Pretty sure the word 'retard' is already bannable, just to clarify, is this a petition to make it a filtered word?

I support man, tbh I think its great you we have a community on here that you can speak freely with but at the same time I don't think anyone needs this negativity on a video game. Like 90 percent of people won't be affected by this hate speech but every once and awhile someone affected in real life with these issues can be seriously affected and its unfair that they have to deal with this on a game. Games are supposed to be escapism and this community should be a fun friendly place for all.

As a teacher who works strictly with special needs students, seeing how that word effects them, it kills me to see people just throw it around daily. Its 2020, get a dictionary and learn some new words.

Isn’t this already part of rule 1a? My 2 cents is to determine what goes to far and what doesn’t, if that is to insta-mute when someone says the r-word then that be it. Make it clear for everyone.
Just my view on it based on this thread, I have no idea on how it’s being enforced atm.

 

 

• a. The use of inappropriate, slanderous, and/or disrespectful language towards another’s race, belief system, mental health, ethics, or sexual orientation to personally attack an individual or group will not be tolerated. Although we have an effective ignore system, we expect our members to be courteous towards one another.

Honestly, waking up and seeing this thread I legitimately thought the same.

Kinda disappointed you're taking this stance of all people as an ex-admin, let me explain. Yes, the word ''retard'', may cause offence to some but, in our day & age, what word does not? (this is not just hating on liberalism etc), The word N---- being disallowed was an absurdity all on it's own as it's not racial in most cases, and it took a few immature people to spam it, just to have their mindset enforced.

Beginning to ban the word retard, we're going down a slippery slope, what words are we going to ban next? Slow, idiot, moron? This is a game on the internet, whilst rule 1 is important, particularly in cases of racism, encroaching on words like retard is a massive give in to snowflake-ism, something that whilst both of us were on the team, I was vehemently opposed to.

 

Oh lord, won't somebody think of the pkers?

 

Obvious no support, it's the internet.

I’m not saying how it should or shouldn’t be enforced, I’m saying it should be clear on what the line is, insta-mute was an example. It’s pretty obvious people are confused on what is okay and what isn’t. I agree with what you’re saying though.

Support this. Should never have gotten as bad as it has. Certain mutable offenses need to carry longer sanctions.
