I get the desire to moderate your game, but how are words 'harmful' exactly? Especially random, throwaway internet spew. Harmful to your game's reputation, maybe. But to the people?
- petee 3mo agoClearly you haven't been exposed to much of the underbelly of the internet. Words can translate to physical harm and actions in the real world, and do regularly
- Larrikin 3mo agoThis sounds like a disingenuous argument to actually try to argue for more racism. Every kid in the world has been called stupid by a classmate and knows that words aren't meaningless.
- 0x3f 3mo agoWho said that words are meaningless?

- 0x3f 3mo agoI think you've failed to understand the words in question, rather than them being meaningless
- chipsrafferty 3mo agoI think you're a troll who should be banned from this site for wasting everyone's time.
- 0x3f 3mo agoHm, can't really have engaging discussions with people who just don't understand what's being said. Can't force the information into their brains so we can do that either. Not sure which action you'd like me to take to improve this situation, then.

- 0x3f 3mo ago> call your wife a fat sow everyday in earnest for a year and see if she isn’t granted a divorce for maltreatment. Is this an appeal to the law or something? It's not a very good argument. Many things which are harmful are not illegal. Many things which are illegal are not harmful. Also, that's not even how divorce works! > no one is claiming words are physically harmful "speech is violence" is a position that some people hold. > if words had no power, we wouldn’t fight so hard to protect them from government abuse. People fight hard for all kinds of nonsense. Historically, people have fought hard for things that didn't matter at all.
