Hey People,
I've just noticed that certain words (i've found one) are censored on the forum... My question is why? Either offensive words should be censored or they shouldn't be, some shouldn't be. It implies that some offensive words are worse than each other. Let me demonstrate: Spoiler tags included to avoid infractions etc.
All not censored, regardless of how offensive they are, particularly some are very offensive to certain ethnic groups /religions/ sexual orientations.
Where as if you type the word ****** [the N word] it will result in the *'s you can see to the right. Does that mean that the word ****** is in someway less offensive than the word
? I for one wouldn't argue that it is!
So what's going on?
