lol

Actually the common use for faggot and ****** among people here don't suggest purely racist or insensitive viewpoints, they're used mostly to denote when someone is being a dipshit, moron, piece of shit, or complete tool, which is somewhat akin to a Louis CK bit.

Casey is absolutely racist, though. He has a character name saved on one of his accounts "Semencoverednig." And some of our guildmates are racist, too. Not necessarily to Jewish people. I think the guild name is more to troll than anything else. The majority of this guild is filled with master trolls.

But no, I'm not defending my guild. I actually would prefer another name.

I'm just illuminating the ways our guild can LawyerQuest the fuck out of the abolishment of using a word as a guild name.

If this were Blue99, a guild could defend that they're creating awareness about an unforgettable tragedy for those people who try to deny it ever happened, or something. It's retarded, but who knows. I'm just thinking of how one might Lawyer Quest it.

Well theyre using a derogatory term for black people to denote perceived stupidity, etc... its not purely racist, but theres no way around the fact that its at the very least not giving a shit about racism's consequence on society and perpetuating hatred. Most of the times, like 98% of the times (super scientific claim here) those people are plain racist and hateful and when called out on it, equal opportunity hater blablabla insert bullshit here.

i know you think you did good but you done fucked up. The point isn't if you think some people use faggot or ****** to be insensitive to the specific group those words represent or not. You know that they don't mean the same thing they meant when they first began being used.

r u saying no one can use these words because of the definition you're attributing to them?

sounds like you're inherently racist and unable to view these words in any other way

I can start calling birds horses if i want, people arent gonna take me seriously though, just like when you claim youre not using the word ****** in a racist way.

Buhbuh is a derogatory word referring to the stereotypical big lipped dumb southern black male depicted in the great American classic, Forest Gump.

Nice try troll.

If this is allowed then why isnt the name "******" allowed? Why wouldnt "sand-******" be allowed?

The naming policy only applies to names? Naming a guild after one of the biggest tragedies in history is ok? This would not have happened on live, and if that were the case, the name "sand-******" may even be allowed

Holocaust is a word meaning the apocalypse it does not solely refer to events of WW2...petition denied.

Hence the term Nuclear holocaust but....

ho·lo·caust noun \ˈhō-lə-ˌkȯst, ˈhä- also -ˌkäst or ˈhȯ-lə-kȯst\

: an event or situation in which many people are killed and many things are destroyed especially by fire
