Before I start, please know that i am taking this seriously and if you disagree, please do so respectfully.
please keep in mind that this is not meant to be political.
Description: Changing the definitions of main rules (Example; Racism) and adding rules. I am bringing up the racism rule because as it may be controversial, someone needs to bring it up.
what i am refering to is the fact that some slurs (by definition, not opinion) arent being punished for being used. (e.g. Cracker/Cracka and Coolie) I have heard slurs that are
not widely known or considered racist used numerous times that weren't punished which is why i am bringing up definition change of our rules. i believe our server should punish based on fact
and not on being "woke". The official definition of Racism is --->
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
I use Cracker/Cracka and Coolie as an example because they are not punished on our server and because i am not comfortable sharing other offensive words on here as i am not a
part of the community those words are used against. (here is where it gets controversial) even though some may not believe these words are offensive, by definition they are and we should
not be afraid to punish people for using words that are defined as racist even if its not widely seen as such. reminder: Cracker is a racial slur directed towards white people, especially
with regard to poor rural whites. i use cracker mainly because it is not widely seen as racist.
For my adding rules part, i will keep it short. i want to implement Xenophobia as a punishable rule. if you don't know what Xenophobia is, it means:
dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.
this is self explanatory.
thank you for reading this.
Reasoning: i believe this would benefit our server because it makes things truly equal among the server and make it so bans are based on definition and fact and not opinion.
EDIT: i am not personally offended by the word cracker, its just my reasoning that if something is derogatory it shouldnt be used. And I understand that its not that big of a deal but this is just my opinion, thanks for reading anyway.
