New Rule: Replace the Word "Lynch" in Games

[Creature]

I can’t really stop that. It’s the history and Understandment they were brought into.

It's a sad thing history sometimes can take really terrible turns hence always following the wave is bad.

[TrueSoulEnergy]

Do you think, perhaps, being Canadian you are not in a place to determine whether the sociopolitical context of lynch is such that trying to remove it is "overreacting"?

Oh they also contribute.
Keep in mind Canada welcomes anyone really.
As such Canada cares.

Ok, so we agree then that you are NOT in a place to make determinations about whether lynch being banned for an American sociopolitical context is overreacting.

I actually don’t care.
I’m just concerned if all this is gonna get worse in the future.
People should leave it as it is at the end of 2020 and not go further and dwell on the past even more.

Lynching isn't in the past in America though. You can't "dwell on the past" about something if it is currently happening and will happen in the future.

Also, for someone doesn't care, you sure wrote quite a bit about the topic.

No one lynches people currently now adays.
LMAO.
This ain’t fuckin 1900’s or 1800’s.
This is 2000’s.

And what, might I ask, is the terrible turn that removing the word "lynch" is taking us upon?

You have been resistant to this wave and I don't understand why.

[TrueSoulEnergy]

We're already migrating the wiki to use the new term, so it is definitely too late to change it now.

The new Term is “Jettison”
Fight me!

This is factually incorrect my man.

Please listen to me, I really want to help you.
But you are definitely either uneducated or misguided on this matter and it needs to be rectified.

Literally google "Lynches in America 2020" and read up, then get back to us.

I can’t really stop that. It’s the history and Understandment they were brought into.

It's a sad thing history sometimes can take really terrible turns hence always following the wave is bad.

And what, might I ask, is the terrible turn that removing the word "lynch" is taking us upon?

You have been resistant to this wave and I don't understand why.

Not necessarily terrible, but the fact people seem to just passively agree to everything is very concerning.

I for one am actively agreeing and based on the discourse in this thread a lot of other people are too.

As a proper response however, I don't think people are passively agreeing. People have been extremely vocal on both sides. I have noted you kind of cheerleading the "lynching isn't racist" arguments from the sidelines and I want to know what you think gives them the winning argument here.

Fmpov, and I think from the reasonable and educated (at least on the matter) point of view, the removal of a term with such racially charged undertones, and sometimes explicit overtones, is a huge net positive for the site and one which is dearly needed.

So what is the negative to this?

[Ythan]

I'm willfully and loudly agreeing with this out of spite for a category of people I consider subhuman (conservatives) I don't see what's passive about that.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I am going to ignore a lot of this thread and suggest

Execute

as a functional replacement.

[Ythan]

Ayyy what up LLD.

I'd cheerleader the "when someone uses 'lynch' ingame they of course don't mean hostility towards a real life group" argument.

I already exposed in another forums why the many alternatives to "lynch" being brought up are straight out terrible and/or confusing and I'd rather if mods were allowed to use it to specify "a kill done by a public voting mechanism" and/or to fit the flavor if they decide to do a medieval setting.

[Nahdia]

Lady Lambdadelta is on the right side of history!

[Ythan]

I already exposed in another forum

Wow lol.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

And any argument that we should somehow keep using a word that will harmful just because we have used it for so long is the same as saying it is okay to glorify a racist with a statue or name a military base after a confederate general.

Just because it is history doesn't mean we should glorify it with public use.

Tranquilo, Kuribo, Tranquilo.

You have every right to be mad and being mad is what we need a lot of the time now a days but

this dude is not arguing in good faith. Save your anger for another place, and let him fade into obscurity.

I have! I got my green card finally so I am an American resident now, will be a few more years before I get my dual citizenship. Married GreyICE, living in seattle and working as a therapist for autistic clients.

I'm really happy with a lot of where my life is now.
