Slurs are intellectual weakness. They're a crutch for people who cannot articulate their thoughts in a truly understandable way. Before I expand on this thought, just look at how ResetERA.com talks about whites or men or chuds or fascists. But also think about how Nepenthe would respond to you calling her the gamer word, she'd love that, that's what she wants you to do. But going at her delusional persona, either with a scalpel or a hatchet, without any bigotry is not just what she fears, it's pretty much her central paranoia about life itself. People wanting to make art easier aren't just doing that, no, they're declaring war on her personally. Sure she doesn't produce any commercial art in the first place but that's just proof of how successful their war on her is. Same with "whites" and "capitalists" it all comes back to Nepenthe's central place in the universe and everyone else's jealousy and anger at her for her divine importance. Slurs, and bigotry in general, play into that story she tells herself. Holding her accountable for her actions with a mirror or reality or whatever while not drifting into signs of hatred is the real dagger in the ribs. Repeat across that entire forum. It's why this place is comparatively verboten while Kiwi Farms is a useful boogie-man and constant enemy on the horizon.
So while I may not ban or filter (more) slurs, nor the people who get around the existing filters or use terms that maybe could be filtered, I do look down at it. And tut-tut at how uncouth you garbage deplorables are. Be better, savage their delusional personalities not their meaningless demographic characteristics. Oh, and end genocide (of progressive gaming studios).
Hmph, I offer to selflessly keep the staff out of danger by strapping on a gamer word suicide vest to help keep our hate site rep intact and all I get in return is a giant care post nobody has time to put in the emotional labour to read. and they wonder why chuds are leaving this place in droves...
