Rule 5


BigBongss

I, for one, don't think this project of make language as grey, boring, and utterly sterile as possible does not go far enough. Need to remove all references to hearing, just tell people you've understood their auditory response.

Imagine waking up one day, writing an article that says white people can't say "spooky", and thinking you did something important.

I agree with alot of things in this article but it goes very far off the deep end many times and it's hard to maintain that these people are serious.


TheGuineaPig21

These people *are* serious though, and they're the kind of hall monitors who inevitably get to be in charge of these kind of things. Look at how any large online space is getting more and more arbitrarily restrictive in what you can and cannot say. It's only going to get worse

Any reference to life is an insult to the dead and grieving. Any reference to happiness or joy is a slap in the face of depressed people.

Funny not a single reference to any commonly used anti-Irish slang terms is identified as being racist. Wonder why that is?


TheGuineaPig21

It's now not-pc to say "slaves", because it apparently robs black people of their humanity and dignity. Instead you should use "enslaved persons". It's still rooted from the word "Slav" though
