Title: Why are players allowed to say 'black' but not ...(read topic)
Post by: Doggie on October 30, 2014, 06:05:25 pm
Since the day I joined this server, I've been wondering
about why it's allowed to say n i g g e r, but not f**ker, fag or stfu.

I remember back in the days, one of my friends got warned because he used the N word while we were RPing. The reason was racism.

I mean, as long you don't say " Hey Ethan you fuc'king N " I don't mind.
Saying the N word ain't that harmful, just be careful who you are telling it to, like doggie said it might offend others.

The use of N_gga / N_gger are both the same.

People can address their selves as they want in the privacy of their own homes, with their own friends, but keep it out of others sights, no one wants that shit.

I think Gandalf already made a pont on how Slang that offends in roleplay isn't allowed.

There are several thousand ways to roleplay, being a prick generally isn't an accepted one.

black is one of the many words that in the present day is known as an insult.
Depending on the usage it may be interpreted as one, or as a name.

"My n¡gger" could be considered friendly usage as it could be interpreted as "my black friend"
Yet... "You n¡gger" could be considered an insult.

Even with that we recommend against using it at all since it's a sensitive word.

My nigga - The new 'my bro'

Nigga - Not offensive
black - Offensive

'whats up niggas' - friendly
'oi you fucking black get off the bus you black cunt' - racist.

I hope that made it clear for you  :)

I'm fairly sure if I called a black guy a "nigga" (emphasized A) he'd still beat my ass..

It depends how you look like. If you look like my avatar then sure. If you're like me who has many black friends and what have you nothing will happen but a 'whats good my nigga' response towards you (yes, i'm white)

If you say it with the emphasized A to a random black person on the road then the ball is in his court if he wishes to fuck you or not.

I do not see why this is topic is seen as appropriate conversation material.
If there is a chance of offense, it should not be used at all.

Well, in my opinion:

I've witnessed multiple people saying "fag" "nigga" "shut the fk up" (How can I not :D )
And well, I allow everyone say whatever they want as long as both of the players, the insulter and the one directed to are okay with it.
And I certainly won't allow brainwashed people bring racism on the server and actually say "nigga" to someone and are meaning to make it offensive.

It's quite simple actually,
If it's a RP scenario I don't think anyone should get offended by anything said. But if a player is not okay with taking insults, I, as an admin have to respect that and make the one insulting STOP that in case that the one insulting isn't reasonable enough to stop when he's told to.

Hope I made it clear enough.

Any word that is considered an insult in any language, including English will be offensive to someone. Have you ever been complimented by your use of these words?
