I'm sure the mods won't ban if they use the word in an unserious way.

The mods have been instructed to crack down on users that violate this rule. Calling someone a fag, a faggot, spic, etc, will result in a ban.

Wow Wade, why not take ALL the fun out of NewGrounds?

If that's your idea of fun, we'd really prefer you not even be here.

One of the most fun things to do on the internet is to insult people without any consequence at all.

The entire point this thread is that people have been throwing those terms around lightly. They're not allowed on the bbs. end.

Really now, i don't even say faggot as a homophobic term. Mostly just means an idiot or a highly unlikeable person.

But I thought the mods were doing a good job.

Are you fucking kidding me? I see racist shit every day when I lurk.

My brother tells his girlfriend to do that all the time! He says "Shut up! You know where the stove is! Now make me dinner!".

But ofcourse he's being silly... right? RIGHT?

Is homophobic specifically dealing with derogatory slang? Or can people be banned for homophobic opinions.

ie. for example if there was a topic about gays being killed somewhere and someone replied 'Serves them right', it's not bannable but if it was 'Serves them right, fucking faggots', it would be?

I wish the first one was because homophobia is a sign of idiocy BUT that's wishful thinking.

Blame society for that.

I'm as good as banned.

Not that thats my favorite word, I'm just not very bright.

The ones testing the MODs & getting banned will be the first ones bitching & making alt accounts.

The Future of America!

Yeah, I've been noticing the F's and N's making a slow combackaround here, too.

Can known black and gay users kinda get away with it from most of the mods, or do they ban equally?

Our peoples faught hard to own these words. FAGGOT PRIDE!! ^_^

Whats next, no swearing? That was one of the good things about the BBS, You could cuss up a storm and have zero consequence. I don't endorse doing it all the time but it was nice to know that you had the freedom to do so whenever you wanted.

Wade, this new rule is fucking happy. You are such a bundle of sticks.

This answers your question.

Newgrounds = Gaia Online.

There is a right way to make a point & a wrong way. There is a rash of female bashing on NGs as of late. I have never seen so many topics about rape on NGs for the 8 yrs I have been on.

theres a comment on my page calling me a fag, the second reason i posted this is its my duty as a newgrounder to bump this topic so the message can be heard.

but seriousely i got evedence on my page

Does that apply to Paltalk :P

Some people won't stand for long >.<

Spic is a primarily American racial slur against anybody who is of, or might be of any of the "hispanic" nations. Mexicans, hondurans, peruvians, basically anybody sorta brown 'cause most Americans can't differentiate races.

As much as I hate being talked down to, I really have to agree with that. I've been a fan of the internet since its humble beginings and arguing its really a great part of the internet. We've taken out all the rules and threat from the Roman forum of antiquity and through anger and logic some beautiful things have come out of it.

but the thing to remember is: You win with logic and points, not hate alone.

Nobody likes you, Wade.

What about 'faggy'? Or 'gay' in the more commonplace perjorative, like 'this thread is gay'?

Wade is a much nicer person than you are, judging by your post.

CHICKEN FUCKER

You can say "bad" or "terrible" instead...

Or "fab". :)

I want to know who banned mr for this, also.

Is the word "cunt" offensive?

What if used in the context, "Fuck you you stupid sack of shit on a rusty stinky cunt!"

Would THAT be considered offensive?

You can't possibly take something like that in a serious manner. It's more like a running gag.

None of us mean any real hate or harm.

Well, they do direct hate AT gays any way you use it. You wouldn't get away with "That's so honkey!" lol

Or "fab". :)

LOLhater. :)
