Double Standard?

[General Jelly Jiggler]

So not sure if right spot so if wrong feel free to move.

 

So I only play CSS on the Jailbreak server and had a question about what is acceptable to say and talk about on the server and what isnt.

 

So whenever I play it seems measures to ensure no racism is allowed is taken to ridiculous measures such as not being allowed to listen to rap that says the N word etc because it may offend someone.

 

Yet at the same time its perfectly ok to call someone a fa**** or gay which is offensive to the LGBT community.

 

Now I understand why saying something extremely racist is kickable/gag worthy/bannable but is playing music that says the N Word really racist? I've had plenty of African American co workers and friend and none of them have ever been offended by hearing the n word in rap etc.

 

Yet I have had gay co workers, gay friends, and my boss is gay. And they were all offended by people saying fa**** as an insult to other people. Now hatred/bullying based on sexual orientation has led to a good number of teen suicides/ self harm yet its ok to openly insult this group of people in society yet such extreme measures are taken to make sure others arnt offended even if its something that doesnt offend the majority of said groups?

 

I only ask this because second you play a rap song that is known to have the N word in it you are commanded to turn it off or muted (in some cases it was censored anyways so the n word cause bleeped) yet players and admins alike are calling each other fa****s over mic and text communication but its perfectly ok to do so?

 

Now I'm not saying mute/kick/ban people for calling each other gay or saying fa**** but more get upset at people who are actually legitimately being racist or offensive and not people who are saying something like " My n***a" or playing music saying the N word in it.

 

Also another point, when in jailbreak a T has the bomb and blows themselve up and the sound bit of "alalalala" plays how is that not considered racist in anyways? Because second you see a person killing themselves with a bomb to harm others and the sound bit of Alalala

(A joke on terrorist screaming Allah Akbar before causing mass murder) you're going to assume that is a reference to people from the Middle East. Now how can you say rap featuring the N Word is offensive to the African American community yet poking fun at the Middle Eastern community by making it seem as though suicide bombing that kill hundreds and maiming even more isnt offensive at all?

 

Just seems its a double standard that we need to make sure a certain group of people cannot be offended in anyway yet let another group of people be freely discriminated agaisnt.

 

Thats just my humble opinion.

 

/end rant.

tldr racism is not allowed, other stuff is. If anyone is getting offended then they can ask them to stop if they dont make a report. Its not banned but counts as disrespect.

The N word has absolutely no positive connotation or different definition to it. fa**** also refers to a bundle of sticks. Southpark did a pretty good episode on fa**** and it's use.

but is playing music that says the N Word really racist?

I'm not going to argue what is defined as racism. Problem is, if one thing is allowed, people troll with it and the trolls take it to a whole new level. You know how css jb trolls are. If the songs says a word not allowed here, it's going to be off'ed/ muted.

 

I only ask this because second you play a rap song that is known to have the N word in it you are commanded to turn it off or muted

Well I apologize on those admin's behalf who have used their power like that. If the song is censored properly, and isn't a troll clip, it's usually allowed to play.

The answer to "fa****" can be found here: https://hellsgamers.com/topic/83869-fa****/

 

The N word is not allowed because of its direct intentions of the full word (the one that has 6 letters), and the version you might hear in a rap could easily be used to bypass the rule if we only banned the full version of the word. Also, it's not just the N word. Any racism/racial slurs will not be tolerated. So it's not just the N word.
