Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
I just fucking despise cancel culture in general, honestly. There's situations that call for it, namely with the whole pedo stuff, but petty shit like "he was mean to people he never understood a decade ago" is just sad and begging for conflicts that have been resolved a decade ago.Vekter wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:09 pmTo be fair, this goes both ways - there are a lot of people who will castrate someone for saying something reprehensible years ago even after they've apologized for it.AlamoTurtle wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:04 pm I wanted to mention this as well. People change a LOT in a short span of time. People are adaptable. If the situation changes, so will others. You can't hold someone's actions TEN (10) YEARS AGO as a basis for the PRESENT. Hell, less than ONE year is enough for someone to change, given the circumstances! People change. Dying on this hill because nostalgia from a decade ago isn't the way you change.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
I wasn't going to respond to you, but this specific line hit a chord with me.
For what it's worth, I already feel like I have to walk on eggshells for fear of being ejected by MSO if I say the wrong thing or go too far against what he thinks is acceptable. I feel like I can't speak my mind because there's exactly one person with unchecked power that can just boot me if I say something he doesn't like.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
And if it's presumed that the IC universe is a continuation of real world today to one a few hundred years in the future, then why would it not be a matter of space law and IC word policing that people can't drop hard Ls because everyone in that universe agrees with you (well not you but people who are against that word) regarding that? Nanotrasen is a PC corporation with indentured servant nonhumans so you can be corpofascist so long as you don't offend other humans. Seems to me like this is an IC issue with an IC solution and this whole matter could be sidestepped.Vekter wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:09 pm
I'm not really in the camp that "ligger" shouldn't be allowed, but I do get where they're coming from. I don't think anyone is saying that you can't be species-ist against lizards IC, just that you should come up with a word that isn't directly tied to an IRL slur. It's the future, get creative. Call them geckos, skinks, leather-skins, something like that.

So what I'm getting at here is - what if we just ask, regardless of whether they're a bigot, whether they're enjoyable to be around? Do they contribute to a fun atmosphere?

Whether the lizard gamer word was ever funny is a matter of debate, but I'm honestly pretty strongly of the opinion that even if it was, it hasn't been for years. It's tired, low-effort stuff. There's nothing clever or interesting or original about it. It doesn't work as a joke because the only possible punchline to it is "It's like the n word." What exactly does it add, as opposed to insults that don't have RL baggage attached?MrStonedOne wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 12:24 pm Like, every time i see somebody argue about ligger that "Most people saying it are just using it because "aha look how clever i am i said the n-word but not actually im so subtle and original"" i start to regret making rule 11, because it keeps seeming like the types of people who were scared off by edge lords might not be such a good presence in the community.
Maybe they hate black people, maybe they don't, but I don't habitually enjoy being around people where I have to ask the question at all.

There are people going "Oh, this is one of those places" when they see we have examples of how to use slurs within the confines of the rules built into said rules, and they just pass on it.

Beyond that, I'm inclined to agree with Timber, Rave's traditional position, etc., that fundamentally, saying that slurs are fine to use in certain conditions attracts people who have strong feelings that they want to be able to say slurs, and I'm not shy about saying that I think those people are usually not just unpleasant to play with but often unpleasant to share OOC spaces with. This comes back to that part above about an unpleasant atmosphere. They may enjoy getting a rise out of people, they may be aggressive personalities, they may be NRP shitters, they may have other faults unrelated, but generally I find that people who care a lot about being allowed to say slurs are both personally unpleasant and bring out the worst in people around them.
tl;dr
- Explicitly allowing slurs in some conditions attracts people who really want to say slurs and can't on other servers.
- These people are not generally fun to be around.
I struggle to think of anyone who has ever said slurs in-game regularly who is a significant and consistent positive influence on the server and/or forums, but if you can think of someone, I'm open to hearing.
I felt bad seeing that nobody quoted your post. You put so much effort into it, letting us take part of your thoughts, and yet they go unnoticed, like tears in rain.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
Well you'd have to see whether he has a history of doing that before thinking he's of poor enough character to do that over disagreements and not over you failing to follow policy but the other thing is it's his server and ultimately we're guests. It's also not a particularly expensive game to set up your own server for. I mean yeah it could be a few hundred bucks per month which is out of reach for a lot of people BUT it's not the same as being banned from the game servers of most modern games where the cost of making a competitor would be by most reckonings fairly insurmountable.Vekter wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:25 pmI mean, I hope so too, but when there's someone who has completely unchecked power who I fundamentally disagree with on multiple things, I can't help but be worried that he might realize one day "Wait, I can just get rid of this guy and nobody can stop me." and punt me into the sun.dirk_mcblade wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:23 pmWell I'm hoping he doesn't boot you over sharing an opinion.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
I dont get the hate towards "normies" I started playing this server because I saw a video from livrah about mechs, I thought that looked fucking awesome and then I checked the server out. All this "normie" stuff honestly just sounds so fucking cringe and is not even close to any sort of real arguement. Every game needs growth and this type of alianation and making it a us vs them case sucks. Do we only want the "Based" and "redpilled" players or something? There is really no difference, we are all people on the internet and we really dont need to draw these very odd lines in the sand.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
Na, i think it doesn't logically fit the definition of bigotry or homophobia to say "what are you faggots playing" and i'll never be against that kind of friendly ironic usage.
I think it doesn't logically fit the definition of bigotry or racism to scream the nword into the void and will never support or listen to arguments that say otherwise.
I think these words: bigotry, racism, homophobia, sexism, etc, have meaning and if you want to argue things that don't fit the meaning of bigotry/racism/homophobia/sexism should be banned, you have to use arguments other than bigotry/racism/homophobia/sexism to justify it.
I think ligger is innocent and most of the calls to ban it come from the exact type of sjw anti-bigotry fuckhead that finds it acceptable to drink out of cups that say "white male tears" or arguing that jannie is transphobic because of origin memes and letters. you don't hate bigotry, you just like to bully people when it's socially acceptable to do so. Most of these people would have been racist if they grew up in the 40s because it was socially acceptable to bully black people than.
I think people defending assuming all 'it was joke' defenses are made in bad faith or otherwise arguing that anything that even smells like edgy humor should be treated as bigotry because otherwise a bigot might slip thru the cracks are also the type that also argues that saying ladies is racist and people should lose job offers they already signed over it or that its ok to fire people who don't even own a computer and send their family into homeless because they used the ok hand sign while having zero reason to even know what the fuck it means.
I was ok with cracking down on hard-rs in a lot of situations even if most should be cracked down on rule 1 instead of rule 11.
there are more than just hard-rs being spammed by bots at question here and everybody keeps trying to transpose my arguments on to that are missing the points.
I WAS ON THE SERVER AT THE TIME THE BAN WAS ISSUED 2 YEARS AGO THAT STARTED THIS WHOLE chain of threads. IF HALF THE SHIT PEOPLE LIKE TIMBER ARE SAYING ABOUT ME WAS TRUE, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PERMABANNED. YET THEY ARE.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
MSO, to speak perfectly plainly and bluntly, the fact that you're equating "getting banned from playing a game about spacemen" with "literally having your life ruined" is kind of telling as to the actual problem here.MrStonedOne wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:44 pm I think people defending assuming all 'it was joke' defenses are made in bad faith or otherwise arguing that anything that even smells like edgy humor should be treated as bigotry because otherwise a bigot might slip thru the cracks are also the type that also argues that saying ladies is racist and people should lose job offers they already signed over it or that its ok to fire people who don't even own a computer and send their family into homeless because they used the ok hand sign while having zero reason to even know what the fuck it means.
I don't think there's literally anybody on this server that wants to ban people for using a slur the first time it's done. The majority of interactions would look like this:
1) Person uses slur.
2) Admin asks them to stop.
3) They say "ok" and get a note.
4) Either they don't do it again or we escalate if it continues being an issue.
There's two sides to not wanting these words around, one of them being that they represent bigotry in multiple different ways and people don't want to have to see them in a place they go to escape that bullshit in real life, and the other being that some folks don't think they should be used in polite conversation at all.
As much as this is probably going to get me slapped, I'm going to say it - You don't understand the context behind these words because you aren't part of the groups they apply to. For you, it's just getting called an insult. For me, it's getting singled out in public because I'm walking down the street with my husband. I live in a place where there's a very real chance someone could cause violence to me for my identity. It can and has happened that LGBT+ people have been assaulted for being with their partners in public, and if someone calls me queer or a faggot or any number of those words, I have to contend with the fact that it means they know what I am and they could, if they really wanted to, assault me for it.
Maybe I just don't want to deal with that baggage in a game about spacemen on a space station.
Your entire mentality about being able to say those words screams this importance about freedom of speech, about being allowed to say whatever you want as long as you're not hurting anyone, but you then turn around and punish people for saying things you disagree with like those two bans in the thread the other day. Which one is it? You can't have it both ways.
Nobody here thinks you're racist. At least, nobody reasonable does, I imagine. We just think your mentality on the whole thing is outdated and you'd do well to look into what's changed and how you can better improve yourself and the server in general.
E: Also I haven't heard of any of those examples you're talking about except for the "ok hand" thing and I can actually explain that, /pol/ made it up as a thing to try and make lefties look stupid for yelling at people for it ("haha look how easily offended they are, they think that's a dog whistle") then groups of actual white supremacists saw it being used and started using it themselves, which is a really good lesson in how irony inevitably escalates into actually believing what you're saying.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
Someone who wants to enact violence upon you can assault you regardless of whether said person calls you slurs or calls you by whichever technical term you use. This is a non-argument.
Saying that he doesn't understand because he isn't a [generic minority] can be perceived as actual discrimination against him.
Discrimination does not just exist against minorities, which has been one of his major points.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
You're right, but if someone shouts "QUEER" out of a car window, that draws attention to the matter. Now that person and anyone in earshot knows. It's also just fucking hurtful to have someone insult something about you that you have literally no control over.

None of this has to do with the slur. The same would be true if he had instead shouted "HOMOSEXUAL" or "GAY".
This is true, but rule 1 already exists.
Your guard not being up does not mean you are not in danger. Quite the opposite, it makes you more vulnerable to danger.dirk_mcblade wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 7:05 pm Well it'd be correlated. I could understand him not wanting to hear that so his guard isn't up all the time.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
Generally speaking this is how it works in real life, as well, and people who end up in deep shit from these kinds of things are generally unapologetic or have a history of these things. People getting fired or "cancelled" for one offs isn't the norm, because if someone makes a genuine mistake it's human nature to give them the opportunity to improve. Patterns of behavior that come forward after this stuff rises to the surface and they dig in their heels? That's when there's a problem. (Justin Roiland, lmao)Vekter wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:57 pm I don't think there's literally anybody on this server that wants to ban people for using a slur the first time it's done. The majority of interactions would look like this:
1) Person uses slur.
2) Admin asks them to stop.
3) They say "ok" and get a note.
4) Either they don't do it again or we escalate if it continues being an issue.
For the record, this is also my stance on it.

You can't say ladies without losing out on well paying jobs because somebody figured out a way to argue it's racist against black people to do so. You can't call a function to get the head item in a queue Get_head() without getting fired for sexual harassment, you can't call your master branch in a github repo `master` without somebody trying to claim you support slavery by doing so.

but would you like to live in a world with slightly more protections against "mean words about my demographics"?
It should be zero shock to anybody here I am autistic and have social anxiety. So it should be zero shock to them as well that I do not support anything that creates more social faux pas or social landmines, especially when they are only enforced or treated with the same level of bad faith assumptions against certain demographics.
Now, given, I expect to have protections against mean words said about my demographics to me.

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
You've said this one a few times, so I imagine there's an actual example of it happening? That sounds like an extreme case and not something I'd ever expect to happen on the regular.MrStonedOne wrote:You can't say ladies without losing out on well paying jobs because somebody figured out a way to argue it's racist against black people to do so.
Did this happen? Can you give me a source on it if so? That sounds absurd from anyone's standpoint, I can't imagine this being the full context of it unless someone is EXTREMELY up their own ass.MrStonedOne wrote:You can't call a function to get the head item in a queue Get_head() without getting fired for sexual harassment
Hey, I work in tech, too. The actual reason the whole "Master" thing got called into question is because we used to refer to a lot of things as "master/slave" in coding and hardware. There's obviously some questionable context to that, so I remember someone bringing up at some point that it might be a good idea to change it to something else, but I don't recall anyone ever actually accusing someone of supporting slavery for being against it.MrStonedOne wrote:you can't call your master branch in a github repo `master` without somebody trying to claim you support slavery by doing so.
There's a lot of stuff out there like this, not just from the tech world; someone suggests we change or use a different term because they realize the one we use now has bad context behind it, then a lot of people who are used to it being the norm get up in arms about it, ascribing this weird, pearl-clutching mentality to the people who want it changed. People who think it should be changed don't think it's super racist or that people who don't want it changed are bigots. They just think it's better if it's different because there's bad context related to it.
I'm not sure about any context in tech where we've ever used the term "master" and "apprentice", but I'm admittedly not that much of a greybeard, so there might've been something back in the day.MrStonedOne wrote:because they forgot master/apprentice was a thing. sounds kinda racist against asians to me

Re: In this thread we come up with ways to end racism
Like I said two pages ago, I throw not just actual slur-users, but spiecist slur users, into the supermatter, because I don't want that shit in my game and I will deadass take notes/escalating bans over it gladly and continue to do it because it's shit and the people who do it are shit.
People who do it because they're "edgy" or for "shock value" do it for the shock value that it being bigoted provides, and the words have no value to offend or be edgy without that underpinning bigotry.
If you're shouting it to shock people, you're just shouting bigoted shit.
It is not functionally different from being a bigot, you're just using the weight of the word differently.
MSO is literally a dumb chump stuck in the era of 2015 xbox live and people are giving him way too much credit because he's the one with the switch to turn the servers off while he screams "not real racism" over his right to call people the n word without others thinking he's a traschan man lmao
