i think its quite easy to tell the difference between 'this post is aids' and 'i think that the gays should be executed'.

like if you think the term should be banned whatever but a forum that lets people accuse people of not actually being gay for disagreeing with them but bans the term 'failaids' is loving moronic

Don't be an rear end. He may have phrased it poorly, but we can't make forum rules based on identities because it's the internet where identity amorphous. Either it is fine for everybody to say, or for nobody to say. That's why we don't let presidents use the r-word.

The only logical conclusion is that mods must verify the identity of posters to determine which slurs and words they're allowed to use as pejoratives. It's the only way to avoid this type of situation.

I feel that it is generally quite easy to tell who is calling things gay and AIDS for hateful reasons and who is just joking around based on context, without the need to be keeping spreadsheets.

I agree with this for the most part. I have a functioning bullshit detector and can use it.

Calling stuff gay and AIDS is first grader poo poo anyway, and if anyone really does use that stuff hatefully, I'll just point and laugh at them. Someone comparing me to Dean Browning is way more offensive to me than anyone calling me fake and gay as an insult.

There's a history of certain posters being heavily invested in their 'right' to use slurs, to the point of eating a permaban.

I can understand posters from the slur-bearing forums wanting to keep them that way, and seeing GBS moving on from 2000s-era posting standards possibly worries them.

Which raises a good point, namely why should we tolerate "first grader poo poo" in the first place?

In any case, despite how het up people were getting, it's not like we're on the cusp of banning the use of gay and AIDS right this very moment, if at all. I think it's understandable people find it annoying, and you seem to agree on that point. It's valid feedback in this, the feedback thread.

Do you any evidence of that or is this the "lets throw out some unbacked accusations based on people wanting to discuss ukraine power hour" again.

On the aids thing. Even if you don't personally feel its a slur, using it normalizes in the eyes of the chuds who do, and makes them believe that actually its ok and right to use it for that purpose.

This isn't like, an ingroup with your friends where hopefully you've weeded out the nazis and everyone "gets" that, this is a public forum anyone can read.

Nah, don't do this - 99% chance it will lead to relitigating the Ukraine thread or become posting about posters, and we don't need either of those things.

And I'd like to remind everyone this is not some kind of pressing issue. As far as I know we aren't exactly rarin' to make a rule about it.
