nice reach bro! it's actually a character from a webcomic who was rejected by her people's priesthood for not meeting their standards of beauty despite her very apparent competence in spirituality. she's my fave in part for that tasty character work, and in part because she has a lazy eye just like i do. it's cool to see that representation as an actual factual part of a character's development and not played for laughs.

anyway you wanna talk about how myopic and regressive it is to spill paragraphs against the two minutes it would take to remove a slur from the wiki? is there a more juvenile stance than that? very weird hill to die on man.

all right, i can do candor.

frankly, i think crusty *** who want a little bubble where they can live in the edgy outdated humor they grew up on is pathetic. i cannot imagine being so afraid of adapting, of growing my conscience even a little bit, of the judgment and shame that might come with learning i've been insensitive and that maybe the world doesn't revolve around me that i'd cling to the sensibilities of e.g. south park. just a wretched way to live imo.

sorry it's taking me a minute to get back to you, me n the gang are workshopping some new slurs right now that you can't use, just to piss you off more. also we all agree that it is very normal to think that other people do that.

Imagine being so unable to attack someone's position that you have to pretend they don't actually believe it and are just faking it.

Lay off the red pills, bro.

it's super important to preserve our history. how would future readers ever know that people used to think slurs were funny if we didn't leave them in our wiki

god, those damned immigrants coming in and taking over and replacing ... us. someone should really do something about that. hey can i borrow your craniometer?

no but for real, i see your point that it's bad because it annoys you and makes you uncomfortable to think about and you don't like the notion of reflecting and changing 'cause it's hard to admit to being wrong about stuff. i take it all back you were right i don't actually care about the many, many people in my life i care deeply for who, a scant 70 years ago, very likely would've been institutionalized and/or lobotomized and/or sterilized against their will in the name of "state health". i just said all that because i wanted to feel superior to you. and it worked!

You being unemployable is a good thing actually.

You'll be on the street, nobody will hire you as you whine for your unions, for better work conditions, full medical, less hours, longer coffee breaks and the Indians they import in the tens of millions to do your job with a laptop and chatgpt will just be happy to be here. They won't demand anything, they are far better workers than you'll ever be so what use are you then?

I think that's pretty funny tbqh, I think that's a good thing. I don't want to protect you, I want you to suffer the consequences of your own virtue signalling in the next 5-10 years.

Which will happen btw, cause the billionaires you hate are the ones that employ and you think they want you? :P

i do not consent to participate in your fantasies my guy. RPF is one thing but don't share it with me if you're gonna do it

"errrmm ackshually if i do not specifically use a slur to call back to its original context, it is harmless, regardless of how it might make someone else feel. my benign intent disarms it"

"i think that slurs hurled at people before burning them alive, dragging them to death behind a vehicle, or lynching them should be treated with the same weight as cuss words for sex and poop xD i do not see the difference"

"well words change meanings over time, so like. you know. it's fine, 'cause now the slurs are just shorthand for 'bad'. zero need to interrogate that further."

i am begging some of you to read and think about what you're typing out

Reminder that two people got offended by a thing, threatened the wiki site and they folded like a cheap suit.

If they get offended in a month about a brand new word (the R thing was already an escalation), that then becomes the norm and used by people they don't like (it's ok if they use a slur they create) they will do the same thing and again and will get their way, because they know how to manipulate people to do their bidding.

Everything OP wanted they got, and by giving in all you have done is ensure you get more of it. You showed you're weak, and you will cave and so they will just annoy you more now.
Curating a wiki doesn't get paid. However, nothing is for free. This is their compensation.

XI isnt overrun with *** furries who made a Tinder for FFXIV.

While not specifically made for dating, FFXIPlayers did exist and many likely tried to use it to find an improbable piece of ***.

Jesus *** Christ, is this what you people get up when I don't look at Discord for a hot minute

I can't believe this needs to be said, but:

- This isn't BG. If you have an issue with something there, take it to them.

- Defending slurs is absolute loser ***. What the *** is wrong with you

/locked, OBVIOUSLY
