am I right in thinking that some swear words get asterisked even if they're part of a longer word, like fist****ing, yuletide****up and oralspacker?

my new favourite word

tbh calling people mong and spacker are just as offensive as spic and yet that is ignored.

Nothing beats Scatter's banning tbh. That was genuinely comical :thup:

What was that for?
I got banned for writing backwards! This, after 100 others had done so in the same thread!

I can't be banned btw, much to Ter's annoyance. :cool: </BLOCKQUOTE>

You got banned for writing "backwards"?
That's barely an insult, how is that possible? Linkage? </BLOCKQUOTE>

Here it is:

About halfway down the page </BLOCKQUOTE>

You got warned 2 minutes before you posted tbf

Oh and originally I thought you got banned for calling someone "backward" </BLOCKQUOTE>

I didn't even see the warning as I was in the midst of typing my post at the time. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Fair enough. A pretty lame reason to get banned imo

I remember someone posted a thread about how all the indians were stealing our jobs because he'd called some unhelpful outsourced callcentre or something, and basically went on a huge tirade about foreigners ruining england and I replied something like "Yeah bloody pakis!" (i feel like it was more obvious I was being ironic though). The poster had nothing happen, and Hoista banned me for 3 months not because someone complained or was offended but because they might

I do get that impression at times.

True. I can see the sore point with the 'N' word because it brings up a whole history of abuse by the white man, but the Hispanics themselves rampaged across the globe, killing indiscriminately within a greater radius than Licky Kicky. Surely the 'S' word is about as offensive as 'honky' or something? Unless it was made up in America to abuse Hispanic communities.

I didn't see the incident, but I'd say it depends heavily on context. I can see the word N|gger being used in a hiphop thread without being meant as an insult, for example.

there's no reason for any OTFers to use the word "n***a," even in its 21st century meaning. </BLOCKQUOTE>

I kind of think it's a good thing that the hip hop community has taken the N-word and use it as something casual and mundane, anything that takes away words from the racist use list is good IMO.
