The whole point of the clarification included in the rule, which seemingly flew over your head at supersonic speeds, is that no word is inherently harmful - its use is what determines whether it's harmful or not.
There is only two uses I can think for saying the N word: reference and racism. And if you're arguing that all words have a subjective meaning, let me tell you you're just fucking wrong. Words have a history behind them, you can't simply just erase that background for the sake of adding a new meaning to them. It doesn't work like that.

And yet it literally does exactly that. Ligger is a slur for lizards, not for black people. Nobody uses it for black people, nor was it ever intended to be used for black people, nor would it make sense to use it in that context.
Please stop trying to play dumb. You really expect me to believe that "ligger", a word that literally shares the same 5 letters as "nigger", is just a slur for lizards? No, I'll tell you what it's for, it was made up by edgelords of the 2010s after they felt oppressed by le society because they were told saying that word is bad. That's it.

I can't tell whether you actually believe this insanity, like the Twitter people who take offence on others' behalf, or are just trying to start drama.
It's called "solidarity", maybe try remembering how to be empathetic towards others.
These are twenty times funnier than "real slur but I changed a single letter"
Honestly, I'm not sold on Scaleback, but I don't know what else I could give lizards than 'Rat Hunter' but they'd probably take that as a sign of pride.

Except it literally does. That has happened to so many words. "Gay", for example, used to mean happy. "Faggot" used to mean "bundle of sticks".

And this is proof of both your arrogance and your misunderstanding. Of course I know what you're talking about (especially when you literally wrote it), but I disagree. You're the ones who've been operating on the angle of "I'm so right, nobody could possibly have a differing opinion11!11" and from there acted like I didn't know, and from there like I was pretending not to know, which I never did.
TL;DR: You put words in my mouth and acted all shocked when I said something that contradicted the words you put in my mouth, as if I'd contradicted myself.

went onto this thread to apologize because i mistook fren's sarcasm for an actual post but i am delighted to see ekaterina actually defending these words to their lifes fufillment
at some point the question is less "is my argument factually sound" and more "does my argument make me sound like a pedantic racist" and when you veer too close to the latter it stops being a reasonable debate to have for a lot of people

The three examples on the rules page are irrelevant, because they either follow the reference use I mentioned or are used in a casual, friendly manner. I will acknowledge that, in the case of the latter, I think it's fine to use such terms with people you know AND are okay with you saying it, even though you may be treading on the bigotry line. If you use them with people you barely know, it's not okay.

These are weaksauce and so are the slurs. If I want to demean someone for having a different 2d spaceman sprite I will call them a undesirable manchild with bad hygiene. That or I will tell them their character has atrocious acne.
One time I bought a chameleon kit and told someone's neon catgirl character their face looked like bubble wrap under like 6 different aliases because they stole my toolbelt. By the end of the shift, they were running around trying to get sec to arrest me but they didn't smell valids so I kept on walking by and saying their face looked like shit until I dropped all of my chameleon gear and just pointed at them in the shuttle then they tried to murder me 4no rasins and bystanders killed em back. Moral of the story is that escalation rules don't apply to psychological abuse by proxy(though i was anteg so w/e) and that stealing my tools is a bad idea.

Completely understandable. Just a personal thing. Had a few people who do it get away with it because "I thought you were a Felinid" (there is no "meows" when she talks, and she doesn't have the ears or tail. If they're just assuming she's a Felinid because of her name, then I think that's still a problem, imo)
