1.
an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation.


Sounds like a slur to me, but welcome to good ol gamefaqs where you can be predjudice and racist against white people and Trump supporters.


by this logic, any insult is a slur, like idiot, snowflake, and libcuck. Do you consider those slurs?
Well I mean anyone smart enough to recognize context and intent can decipher what is being used as an insult and what isn't. Most people in this thread are just being willfully ignorant.

I personally choose to respect the tearfully fragile feelings and hypersensitive emotions of trump supporters by not using the term. I don't consider it a slur though, not by any stretch. Do I think that being referred to as that term should warrant irreparable emotional and psychological trauma? No, but do I avoid saying it in order to prevent such trauma? Yes. I am not a cruel person.

I love how pointing out disrespectful and immature behavior is now considered being butthurt and crying.

According to a lead mod: calling a woman a cow is an attempt at dehumanizing her and it is offensive to refer to people as cows or other animals.

So, yes.
But given that the site is forced to have a progressive agenda, it's encouraged


It's said all the time here, and nothing is done about it. That in and of itself is fine, but the ToU is not enforced equally. I just want equality. Either enforce the ToU violations in both instances, or ignore the ToU violations in both instances.

Calling Trumpanzee is a slur, but saying transgenders are literally mentally ill is acceptable.

I'd rather them both be allowed than to have a double standard.

The difference is that women didn't choose to be women. You're not going to argue that Trump supporters can't help themselves, are you? Because that'd be kinda offensive.

OMG you bigot! Women can certainly choose their gender!

Serious question(s), regarding trans persons:

is it correct to say they have a mental condition (or that they do not at all), or is it just those with gender dysphoria, or neither? Is it even PC to mention any of these? I don't know, so maybe someone can offer an explanation.

Unfortunately transgendered people are nothing but politic party fodder. Neither side really cares. They just want someone on their side of the cause. So if being transgendered or having gender dysphoria is a real mental illness it will have to be addressed by the scientific and psychiatric community. Not a bunch of nerd pushing a political and social agenda.

I was thinking it might be that way, but are you sure there isn't something more concrete? CE has had several threads where people have said there is medical backing for some claims, though I admit I've not read up on it much. I guess you can read this as me being lazy and just hoping someone can sort it out for us, here and now.

I've read some of the threads here to and it seems of what I've read both sides have merit and at the same time science and psychiatry seem to be spilt on which it is. I may just be one of those issues that needs more first hand data to be able to make concrete conclusions.

And not to say there is no one on CE or in the media that doesn't have a genuine concern for transgendered people. It just seems like a large portion of "concern" is nothing more than politicians and social justice using them like they do abortion, homosexual marriage and the like.

For instance these two threads on the front page started for no other reason than to stir shit up.
