You can also now set pronouns in your Votefinder user profile. To do this you can go to My Profile (from the top menu) after logging in and set them. Once this is done, it will look like this



Also I added amberpos theming. I'm not sure why. It might have just been to irritate Podima

I'd been happy, and I was happy still. For all to be accomplished,
for me to feel less lonely,
all that remained to hope
was that on the day of my execution
there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should
greet me with howls of execration.

Excuse me, but that word is ableist, and making jokes about people of neurodivergent mental abilities is a bad look. We aren't far from a time in history when that label was used by eugenicists to classify people to be segregated from society in asylums and even targeted for forced sterilization.

This thread's title should be changed, as well, because we have all learned by now that irony doesn't make it okay.

I am a .... um... person.. who... hang on, see now I feel like if I belittle myself (no matter what word I use) I am somehow being insensitive even though I actually am stupid and deserve to be treated as an individual who is capable of belittling oneself without the judgement and persecution of a person who is not "stupid" just because they feel the need to defend myself from myself. I can call my stupid self whatever the heck I want and that takes nothing away from other normies and stupid alike.

“Idiot” is ableist language, it’s true. But of the various forms of ableist language in common use, it is amongst the less severe. Still, the idea that is any form of objective measurement of “intelligence” is one writ in ableist and racist notions, which would be my reasoning for getting rid of “idiot.”

Personally, my personal word of the moment that I’m worried about is using “lame” to meaning boring. Don’t care for it.

I am being entirely serious. I’m disabled. My girlfriend is disabled. Many of my friends are disabled. I spend a lot of time thinking about the way that our society views and presents disability and about how those ideas are then encoded into language. I’m sure most people think that I’m being “too PC” or “virtue signalling” or a “SJW cuck” or whatever people say, but I assure you that I’m being sincere.

Let’s discuss whether a jester has any place in any game. I say no because it goes against the core rule set of the game which drives behavior. We find and lynch scum.

Leaving behind the fact I genuinely couldn’t conceive of someone being linguistically prescriptive to that extent, I don’t believe you can have actually read Beauvoir or Sartre to misapply that concept so significantly

I hate jesters (this could track back to like Electric 6 Mafia...3 or something) because it just totally goes against every other player’s goals. No one should want to die (save maybe a bomb in the right instance) and to have a player who has no interest in NOT saying scummy things... they’re just gonna get lynched extremely early, it’ll look scummy to town and it’ll look easy to scum.

the end result of this line of thinking is not saying anything negative or positive about anyone because everything is out of our control due to our genetic traits and entire course of life (trajectory of atoms from big bang resulting in creation of our surrounding environment/pressures) being set in stone at the beginning of time (400 years ago.) snooze won't let me say the B word and it makes me mad.
