Since when did "Nagger" become a racial epithet?

[Capt Caveman]

i have used nagger. nothing raciest in it either.

hell until today i didn't know it could be thought of as a raceist word. i still don't. why is calling somone a nagger (someone who nags) a racist word?

You don't admin online games. Our servers kick players for using racist words. People know that and will try to circumvent the language filter.

People bitch, complain, become annoying and grief in game, never heard people call it nagging.

 

[JulesMaximus]

exactly.

so what do people call someone who does stuff like this? if nagger is a racist term what is the term used today?

I'd just call them a bitch and find a new game.

So, nagger is a word used to describe someone who is...annoying? Maybe the guy who banned you was black, maybe he didn't relate to the intricacies and genuine innocence and purity of your insult?

Curse words are not the same as racial slurs. Sorry...game over...you're banned.

Maybe the next time you're playing an online game you won't use the word nig...er I mean nagger to describe someone you're unhappy with.

Well, I agree to a certain degree.. I never thought nagger would be misconstrued to be racist.. even if it was.. a warning at least? perma-ban was complete BS..

So the word 'nagger' is racist to you? the guy was going on and on about "fail team this" "fail team that".. blah blah.. I just said, 'hah, you nagger'.. how the f0ck is that racist? there was NO talk about race at all... I agree if someone was making black jokes and if I said "nagger" it could be tongue in cheek.. but that wasn't the case..

hmm i have herd the term nagging all my life. not just family but friends and school. Never in a racist way either. as i said until now i have never heard anyone say it could be thought of as raciest.

Can you plead your case and ask to be un-banned? I guess your only other alternative is to create a new account.

 

[mrjminer]

Was this over voice? If it was, then they probably misheard you, and you're an idiot for not realizing that.

So have I, but I've never ever heard the term nagger...ever. Until now.

I can definitely see how someone could conclude that this would be used to circumvent filters and be used as a racial slur.

I think OP is not worried about that. He was just asking why people consider nagger to be racist.

When you're admin'ing you don't always follow the flow of all of the chat. A lot of times, the admin might be playing and being only being able to see 3 lines of chat on the screen in game, he might think you're circumventing the language filter and ban you. Again, if you're so hurt, why don't you post on their website about the ban?

Why not say, "Quit your bitching"? On our servers, I don't think I've ever heard anybody say nagger or quit nagging everyone, etc. Lots of stfu you're annoying, quit your bitching/complaining, can an admin get rid of this asshat.

Was it a server autoban or admin? What server?

i have heard nagger often too. yeah i can see how some conclude that its being used to circumvent filters.

just never thought of it that way. nagger to me was a wife or mother.hehe (ok ok someone who nags)


learn something new every day eh? heh

And you've never admin'd a server where people get kicked for language then log back in and circumvent the server by changing the words slightly, placing spaces between letters, etc... to grief.

I think you're right.. the admin must have just seen the word "nagger" and thought "dumbass is using racist language = ban" and banned me.

The ban happened almost instantaneously so I feel it may have been server autoban.. .. it was Whskybnt I think.. I don't care.. I just play on other servers now.. and I refrain from chatting altogether.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot of nagging about this thread being in the wrong forum... There are a lot of naggers in ATOT after all...

ATOT comprises of whiners, not so much naggers.

Only example of nagger I can think of is Trident.

Ok, then this might well have been a cultural misunderstanding, because here in the states, while I have long heard and used "nag", "nagged", and "nagging", the first time I ever heard the otherwise perfectly ok noun "nagger" was in the South Park episode, and no one here in the states ever says, informally, to another, "hah, you nagger."

They just don't.

 

[foghorn67]

I only use nagger when referring to cackling old hens.

 

[SP33Demon]

I've heard the term nagas (mythological upright lizard monster from World of Warcraft) but not so much naggers. Geeks use phrases like "How my nagas doing" to sound cool like Eminem while still referencing a technical nerdom term.

born and raised in the states here, and i did hear 'nagger' used before south park.

They even named a gaming mouse after it:

Since when did "Nagger" become a racial epithet?

I'm surprised nobody has said it, since you became a 'ricest.':sneaky:

 

[AMCRambler]

Let me ask you this, if you're gaming away and someone on your team starts throwing around racial slurs, taunting other players, you're okay with that? I mean, it's not really like you're in a war and actually killing people. You're playing a fucking game. Do you throw around insults like that in real life? I guess if it's rated M you should be able to let your tolerance levels down and show what a real piece of shit you really are...

When I game I curse. I say shit, fuck, wise and beautiful woman, motherfucker. Don't like it? Mute me. Swear filters on game servers auto kick as soon as you type the word in. Usually with no warning one is running. Pissed me off so I stopped playing.

As far as I'm concerned its 1st amendment freedom of speech. If it offends the sensibilities of sissy bitches like yourself, you can blow it out your ass for all I care.

Did you ever say to any of your peers, or ever have any of your buddies say to you, "hah, you nagger"?

Ima qwine go ahead and predict no.
