Sequels are always a good idea

Top 10 most anticipated sequels of 2018

Wait, the open thread has 44 pages right now...

hard pill to swallow: free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want without consequences

Turbo trying to get those juicy upvotes

or you could lock it and not open a new one :/

i just wanna know who becomes in charge of deciding what's offensive and what's not.

as an exaggerated example if i call my friend ugly in chat am i now banned or am i missing the point? seems like it could derail very quickly.. the whole process would be very subjective

No need for more discussion, everyone has had more than enough time to be an edgy boi, virtue signal how good they are and start some witch hunts.

You could say that about any 'justice system', anywhere, ever.

I will repost the "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company."

I don't mean to specifically target getawhale but it's a good example of why I believe things are the way that they are as of late.

I am in no way perfect and can be equally accused of saying very dumb shit, but I can sleep sound at night knowing there have been dmixes where I have told people to shut up about certain topics.

Intent and context matter. calling your friend ugly and calling a community member controversial slurs aren't even comparable in the slightest, the line is more defined than you think it is. Nobody sensible is asking for on-the-spot bans of any remotely bad behavior, just a system of monitoring and stepping in when it's clearly gone too far. Social media harassment and repeated patterns of behavior are telltale signs that it's no longer a joke but clearly a person who doesn't belong in the community.

Slippery slope fallacy. No one is getting banned for stuff like that.

i always knew getawhale was /ourguy/

eu players turning on eachother

dont u guys see this is what the b4nny wants

in that thread there was nothing except cis white kids getting angry because they don't want to be held responsible for being transphobic, sexist or racist

the difference between calling someone a tranny and calling someone ugly is pretty large

or calling someone the hard r and calling someone stupid

making sexual abuse jokes at expense of the victim is also pretty fucked

thats not the type of thread that warrants 500 posts

um yea? because no one has been getting banned for saying slurs, as is the purpose for these threads? i mean in the future, as in yet to happen.

I think what he's saying is where is the line. Let's stop talking about freedom of speech and shit and actually move this conversation into what is and isn't allowed. Give a rough draft of words you think shouldn't be allowed instead of leaving to the the ambiguity of don't be a dickhead

I don't understand this comment. This thread is meant to shine light upon this issue among other things isn't it? And Pred's one of the people that now has been banned for shit like this, right?

It's just common sense imo.

But that's me done on the topic.

Small TF2 YouTubers like you have to be some of the most irrelevant and uninformed people in this community, hahahahaha.

seconding this

There is no reason for this thread to exist if you actually care about changing the community; we already have had the relevant discussion needed to get community leaders to start changing. All you are going to get now are people attempting to either justify their actions, claiming what they are doing isn't harrassment, and other various vitriol from people.

who hurt you

kindergarteners need a "list of bad words," dude. you should know by now what words are racist, homophobic, or transphobic

comp players who stomp him on pubs lololo

b4nny dominated all 9 players in our showmatch and i've never been the same since

also, i apologise if the meme was in bad-taste, i'm not genuinely implying that every competitive player is a bigot

disagree
this isn't about community leaders needing to change this is a pretty common issue not just limited to TF2
we need to keep talking about this stuff if there is to be real, meaningful, widespread change
