Political Correctness

[doclkk]

Why is it that derogatory homosexual statements are acceptable on this board but I can't say Fuc*, shi*, bitc*, motherfuc*er, nig**er, chin*, guin*, gui* etc etc?

Just outta curiosity.

There are two reasons you you "cant" say certain words while other 'offensive' terms aren't blocked.

1) We have better things to do than try and censor every single word someone might not like.

2) Swearing/profanity/not being PC aren't against the rules of the board. You could say "This fucking licks ass like a bitch in heat licking shit of her buttocks!" and you're not breaking the rules assuming the post is on topic, not post whoring, and doesn't break any other forum rules (ie: flaming).

There is no rule saying you can't get around the filters - it's fairly easy to do. We just want a simple obstacle to make people think about what they're typing. We also think it's funny when someone goes on a rampage and their posts are edited into the words of a 3 year old child to match their 3 year old level english and intellect.

chink isn't blocked. Only racial slur that is censored is nigger. Which doesn't really make much sense. It's not like that one is any more offensive than any of the others.

I am curious as to why pussy is censored while all the other terms for the female genitalia, such as twat, cunt, vagina, snatch, etc., are not. It seems odd to censor just one. And cunt is really the most vulgar.

We can't censor EVERY potentially offensive term, so we tried to block the most commonly used ones.
