Yeah we can do another new one of those, but I think alli is also hosting the current one so at a minimum we should help take that off her plate while we are moving votefinder too IMO

I'm happy enough to just go with the majority but we avoid the use of 'lynch' because the bad connotations are potentially triggering or unwelcoming.

I broadly think that lunch is both sufficiently commonplace as a word and obviously ridiculous in context here to avoid both of these circumstances.

And from there I favour the least restriction on language as is reasonable.

Like what do you need to do to make this work? I have basically 0 tech knowledge but if it's just putting down cash for a hosting site then I'm willing to pay a monthly sub or whatever for mafia.

I’m not actually trying to ‘restrict’ anyones language but just noting that when I (a non-black person of color in the US) see people use the word ‘lunch’ in the lying game on the overwhelmingly white forum I think “hey look a (probably) white person is going out of their way to avoid saying ‘lynch’”

Having to have this thought feels a bit cringe and annoying and distracting when I’m trynna relax and be an evil scum

If that matters to you, you may consider using a different word

Again, not advocating for a ‘restriction,’ but hoping ya might be sympathetic to this

Yeah this was my thinking on it which is why i started moving away from it, I'd rather use alternatives that make sense rather than awkward stilted language

Oh absolutely fair enough then.

As a non-white person myself I've never had any problems around the language used but I'm also not in the US or involved with US cultural politics to a real degree, so I'm happy enough to defer.

In terms of restriction, largely language exists in a framework of minimising harm whilst maximising expression, which is why I try to advocate for giving a poo poo through the least restrictive means.

But like, it's not hard for me to change and if it makes someone feel more comfortable then fair play.

I mean seriously, this is a group of people who argue and shitpost for fun. And not just the normal SA levels. These are experts in it. The creme de la creme. For well over a decade these people have been arguing over stupid poo poo day in and day out. D&D doesn't even begin to approach the intensity, the fire that has served as a crucible for these folks. I would put these few, proud, argumentative shitposters against any other group, from any other site. I know they'd come out on top.
