Does calling someone a racist count as an insult and therefore moddable?


It's one of those gray areas where it could be objectively true, but it could also be an insult

It's an insult. Adjust your vocabulary accordingly.

Okay but if you go and say "I hate (race) people," and I call you a racist for saying that, does that mean I'm the one who's going to get modded?

Considering how "racist" is turning into "person who disagrees with me" to some people, I'd say yes.

You could just phrase it differently and say "what you said was racist", you're attacking the opinion and not the person. Unless it comes down to the same? @Error1355

It should be moddable just for the fact that its pretty much never correctly used.

A world without:
cuck
sjw
racist
sexist
welcher
weeb
nerd
dudebro
trumpeteer
stormfaqs
shillary
liberal / conservative (since both of these seem to be used as insults on here)
etc

Boy, mods are going to have a rough time on their hands if we can just start marking literally everything that counts as name calling. Maybe that will get the point across if we just mark literally everything.

This is reasonable. But CE has issues with attacking the poster instead of the content of the post.

So general consensus seems to be, saying "that's racist" is fine, but "you're racist" is not?

I think it's a reasonable compromise. Not that I personally care if someone racist gets called a racist. But as soon as one person does, then it will just devolve into an insult again. On gamefaqs or CE, at least, it's either all or nothing.

I was just throwing out stuff that's used as an insult, lol. If they were being consistent, using any of those to insult or flame somebody would be moddable but you know how moderator's discretion works.

As an example, someone claims to have been modded for using jabroni, lmao.

a lot of racists don't consider their racist beliefs and rhetoric to be racism... but "truth" passed down from people who just happen to be a little raci-- I mean, "old school."

Remember, almost lotrrally, everyone is racist. So it doesn't really matter unless you're using it to hurt someone.

Yes, even "x minority is underprivileged" is racist as you are ascribing a feature (being underprivileged) to an entire race.

Personally, i think the real evil is supremacy, or believing the differences between races makes one race inherently superior or inferior to others.

Only if it's the entirety of the post, tbh. If the person is actually attempting to back up their allegation as opposed to just smearing someone, it's more of a case by case basis.
