When did expressing disappointment in unnecessary foul language turn into "freaking out"?

ppl in this century are actually starting to gain enough sanity to doubt and disregard those who express meaningless prejudices, offensive statements (be it "jokes" or not) and the like

There are fundamental differences in the way men and women talk to each other. Women say compliments all the time (oh how lovely new hairstyle; wow look at that shirt) but they don't really mean what they say. Men insult each other all the time (hey fat bastard, get a job) but they don't really mean what they say.

Elma community is not a big bunch of strangers but instead a tight knit group of people that consider every kuski a friend and can act accordingly. I don't understand how guys in their 30s have survived in their lives if they feel offended because of jokes by friends?

I don't know about you, but we don't call black people negers when I meet with friends irl. It's pretty fundamental respect. It's one thing insulting your close friend and knowing they won't take it seriously, and another to insult a whole race of people, in what is essentially a public space.

For it to be a joke, isn't it meant to be funny?

Nobody in EOL (espec not mans discussed in this tropic) legitimately doesn't understand that some racist slurs are racist slurs. Also none of them can be stupid enough to think that being racist for the sake of it is in any way humorous. What's even the point of making racist "jokes" then if they aren't funny?

I think you shouldn't afford them the excuse of "they're joking around" because the "jokes" aren't funny (no, not even to them) and it's just an excuse to be contentious and offensive. We don't need that in elma imo

i dont understand why the word nigger/nigga/neger is such a huge deal (like a word "fuck" was to most of us when we were 5yo)

why wouldnt i call a nigger this way if they call themselves so in a non disdainful way? this is like what if zweq said that zamppe is offensive now and you cannot call him zamppe, because he is only zweq. and only zweq can call himself a zamppe. nigger was not offensive word originally, so why not use it in a non offensive way (btw not saying that the case in this topic was like that, i dont know) and bring back the non-offensiveness?

i know this might not apply to whole population of blacks, but here you are with an example of a first song example that popped up my head sang by niggers (2pac - I dont give a fuck):

I don't give a fuck
They done push me to the limit the more I live
I might blow up any minute, did it again
Now I'm in the back of the paddy wagon
While this cops bragging about the nigga he's jackin
I see no justice
All I see is niggas dying fast
The sound of a gun blast
Then watch the hurst past
Just another day in the life 'G'
Gotta step lightly cuz cops tried to snippe me
The catch, they don't wanna stop at the brother man
But then they'll have an accident and pick up another man
I went to the bank to cash my cheque
I get more respect from the mutha-fuckin' dope man
The Grammy's and the American music shows pimp us like hoes
They got dough but they hate us though
You better keep your mind on the real shit
And fuck trying to get with these crooked ass hypocrites
They way they see it, we was meant to be keep down
Just can't understand why we getting respect now
Mama told me they're be days like this
But I'm pissed cause it stays like this
And now they trying to send me off to Kuwait
Gimme a break
How much shit can a nigga take
I ain't goin' nowhere no how
What you wanna throw down
Better bring your guns pal
Cuz this is the day we make 'em pay
Fuck bailin' hate I bail and spray with my A-K
And even if they shoot me down
There'll be another nigga bigger
from the mutha-fuckin' underground
So step but you better step quick
Cause the clocks goin' tick and I'm sick of the bullshit
You're watching the makings of a physco-path
The truth didn't last
Before the wrath and aftermath
Who's that behind the trigger?
Who'd do yah figure!?
A mutha-fuckin night nigga
Ready to buck and rip shit up
I had enough and I don't give a fuck

Niggas!, isn't just the blacks
also a gang of mutha-fuckas dressed in blue slacks
They say niggas hang in packs and their attitude is shitty
Tell me, who's the biggest gang of niggas in the city
They say niggas like to do niggas,
Throw me in the cuffs with just two niggas
A street walkin' nigga and a beat walkin' nigga with a badge
I had to shoot yah and the pass for the blast take his cash
And bash his head in dump him at the dead in
And that's just his luck
Cause a nigga like me
don't really give a fuck

Walked in the store what's everybody staring at
They act like they never seen a mutha fucker wearing black
Following a nigga and shit
Ain't this a bitch
All I wanted was some chips
I wanna take my business else where
But where?
Cause who in the hell cares
About a black man with a black need
They wanna jack me like some kind of crack fiend
I wonder if knows that my income is more than
His pension, salary and then some
Your daughter is my number one fan
And your trife ass wife wants a life with a black man
So who's the mac in fact who's the black jack
Sit back and get fat off the fat cat
while he thinks that he's getting over
I bust a move as smooth as casanova
And count another quick meal
I'm getting paid for my traid but its still real
And if you look between the lines you'll find a rhyme
AS strong as a fuckin' nine
Mail stacked up niggas wanna act up
Let's put the gats up and throw your backs up
But the cops getting dropped by the gun shot
Usta come but he's done, now we run the block
To my brothers stay strong keep yah heads up
They know we fed up
But we they just don't give a fuck

They just don't give a fuck

I gotta give my fuck offs

Fuck you to the San FranCisco police department
Fuck you to the Marin County Sheriff department
Fuck you to the F.B.I
Fuck you to the C.I.A
Fuck you to the B-u-s-h
Fuck you to the AmeriKKKa
Fuck you to all you redneck prejudice mutha fuckas
And fuck yah
Fuck Y'all
Punk gay sensitive little dick bastards
2paclypse mutha fuckin' know
Y'all can kiss my ass and suck my dick
And my uncle Tommy's balls
Fuck Y'all
Punks, punks, punks, punks, punks


its just an example, there are thousands of other stuff where niggers rhyme "nigger" with "nigger" in their songs
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Whenever this same topic arises the same couple freedom fighters (Pawq, Grace, Kopaka) arrive. How can you determine for everyone what's funny and what's not? It's very strange that other people in the scene seem to enjoy these jokes very much. Jimmy Carr was mentioned earlier, it's also strange how popular he is given what I just read that those kind of jokes are not funny at all.

I'm not saying that it's the only type of humor around. There are the opposite of those jokes, like in the picture below. I find that not funny at all, but I don't go around telling people that their humor is wrong. Humor missionaries, anyone?

Image

Four weeks ago I spent a cottage weekend with friends. Two of them were from Iran. You can rest assured that they had their own share of jokes about being abusive towards women and they told the very same type of jokes about themselves too. The same thing happened at my previous work place where there were a couple black guys working. I feel bad for guys who cannot take and tell jokes such as those.

Comparing EOL to public place seems pretty far fetched to me. Somehow I can't see jon and Luther marching on the street with a bunch of skinheads. Try to see the difference between humor and seriousness, it's not that hard.

I believe that Luther and jon didn't mean anything bad when they used these words (as Orcc said, sometimes you say one thing but mean another), but if it made other people uncomfortable then perhaps it's better for them to stop. If we are a "tight knit group of people that consider every kuski a friend and can act accordingly", then surely we can exercise a little effort to make EOL a more pleasant place for everyone. Like if you were with a group of friends and one of them said "please don't use that kind of language around me", I think you would listen to him instead of bickering about it. Because you know that turning a small difference into a blown-out argument will ruin the mood for everyone, and your friendship is much more valuable to you than some silly word. It's a very small concession to make and it's worth it.

hmm magnitude and what?

ofc insulting is always bad (when no joke)
but when its a game chat, where even no any niggers (sorry) then... its wierd imo:/

For example, why "stfu" is not insulting? Much more insulting than random niggers. mb ban half of players then?

stfu is also insulting yes. not ban half of the players imo but those who are constant dicks and are lacking an ability to correctly express valid human emotions or just do it unfrequently enough such as these are foreshadowed by all the wrongdoings

Hmm, what kinda bothers me about the chatlog is that Thunder expressed zero sympathy even though Luther experienced a traumatic event. Seems very one-sided. Luther actually apologized and acknowledged that he went a bit far, but that meant nothing to Thunder. I think something along the lines of "I understand your pain but please don't let it bring the worst out of you" would have had a better effect.

Well after the posting of the chat log this topic took a turn into a whole new direction. Talking about immigration brings up very strong feelings on both sides. Calling different ethnic groups with names does not help the cause, but also calling that a bannable offense sounds like North Korea. Of course you must be allowed to criticize how such a big issue is being handled by the governments. The feeling of safety is one of the biggest advantages of living in the Nordic countries and when you feel like it has been lost it is a big deal.

Also yes, it is very cultural how people behave. Did you know that in Iran if you go to court the testimony of one male witness is equal to two women witnesses? Or if a person has two children, a boy and a girl, the boy will inherit double the amount of the girl? These are normal things in Iran, so if you move from Sweden to Iran it will be hard as hell for you to adjust to these things. The same applies the other way - coming from the Middle East to Sweden where both genders have equal rights will seem like something that just is not right.

yeah immigration is quite the issue but the problems some of these immigrants are causing shouldnt be blamed/generalised on the race/religion itself but rather on the individual people themselves (maybe the culture also at least? but surely not "all moslems bad asdfg" imo)

Because it's a huge deal to a huge number of black people.

If zweq did that, the only sensible and respectful thing to do would be to stop calling him zamppe and call him what he asks. Especially if he had a history of extremely negative feelings towards being called zamppe.

kuchitsu wrote: 22 Dec 2019, 16:26If we are a "tight knit group of people that consider every kuski a friend and can act accordingly", then surely we can exercise a little effort to make EOL a more pleasant place for everyone. Like if you were with a group of friends and one of them said "please don't use that kind of language around me", I think you would listen to him instead of bickering about it. Because you know that turning a small difference into a blown-out argument will ruin the mood for everyone, and your friendship is much more valuable to you than some silly word. It's a very small concession to make and it's worth it.
Couldn't express it better even if I tried. Why is it so hard to understand?!

AndrY wrote: 22 Dec 2019, 17:23but when its a game chat, where even no any niggers
How do you know? What if there are some but don't talk because of stuff like this? What if there could be, but any that turn up are turned off by stuff like this? And, what if Thunder was black? Would you (and everyone else) change your mind then?

And watch the language. They're black people ffs, it's really not that hard.



A russian friend of mine who's a vocalist recently had a situation where she was called "chicken" by some german online because he thought it was how you call russian girls, but apparently in russia (or her part at least) it's a really bad insult for a girl, and she was furious. Would it be a reasonable response to argue that it's just a word and there's nothing wrong using it, that it's free speech after all? No, it would be the response of a cretin and a disrespectful asshole. Any person having at least the tiniest bit of respect for her would never dare use it towards her, or any other woman they respect.

really that a not obv question, diff ppl all over the world have diff opinions on it, so impsy to solve it here in elma lauta topic.
and here is not a workplace or major organizaton, and pos here:
1) dont care
2) or make a norm rule that if someone say "n..." -> he is surely banned.
3) or make a norm rule that if someone say bad words and insults too much -> he is surely banned.

But when there are not so many ppl in elma nowadays, is the reason to ban someone?
(reason: bad word not related no anyone here with probability 99%)


edit: really some ppl are for no bans, and some for clean language elma with ban for bad words. mb need some voting:/

There is a norm rule saying that offensive language will result in warnings and bans. And it does. Is using those words really so important and enjoyable for you that it's worth 1) offending people, 2) breaking rules and getting warnings and bans, and 3) provoking shitstorms? I beg you, take a minute to think about this question. Is it really worth it?

[16:50:26] (Luther): lamotte when he was in kronogarden lmao?
[16:52:34] (Bjenn): ok got new
[16:52:57] (Bjenn): dont have to use negers as name

[16:53:16] (Luther): sand people then
[16:53:18] (Bjenn): wow feel bad for you :(
[16:53:43] (Luther): ye a group of cp teens


While we're at it, let's also be degrading towards people with cerebral palsy, because god knows they don't have it hard enough already. Imagine if I went around calling people I didn't like "Luthers" as if being like you is the worst thing ever. I don't imagine you'd think that was very nice.

I'm sorry you got robbed, Luther, but you are not making things any better by lashing out at every group you can think of. And please refrain from saying things like "sand negers" etc., it's just downright racist. Fair enough that the guys who robbed you were brown, but don't drag your own name through the dirt by using such expressions.

I get that those things were probably written while you were quite heated and not thinking straight, and that you probably already know all this. But these were my two cents anyway.

I didn't mean that "jokes" are shitstorms, but they result in shitstorms... And it doesn't have to be bans. It's enough for people to be a bit considerate, or at least say "oke sorry" when somebody says they don't like it, instead of defending it pointlessly.

Tbh Luther's response to the criticism was the best of all. Apologised a moment after and I haven't seen him arguing about it afterwards, even though he got a warning, and not the people arguing here. To me he's a few notches higher up when it comes to being mature and considerate.

Can someone please explain to me what part of that chatlog is a joke? Now that it's been posted it's even clearer that it wasn't even intended as a joke, Luther just wanted free-reign to talk shit and be offensive without recourse. He was warned by two separate chat-mods in the space of a few minutes. That's pretty clear indication that this sort of chat is not welcome in EOL.

To be fair, gradus was equally offensive.

For some people, it is, and for some people it's not a big deal. The important part of that distinction that people often don't realise is that it's up to them to decide on how they feel, not you. 2pac might not be offended, but others are.

Oke you win, good luck with creating EOL a welcoming atmosphere for the zero newcomers by limiting the freedom of speech and thus getting the feeling that you're a better person than the other.

´? `¨´* im dont understand anything but seems to me like there is a ton of misunderstanding around here

yes its racist to say only black people can use the n-words, however you put it. it might still be sensible though, because reasons.

however, someone else (like luth etc in this case) using those same words is NOT innately racist unlike Thunder pointed out. an action is racist if the reason is skin color or whatever, it doesn't matter how anyone else feels like it. however, it does appear racist in 2019 to use those words, and it does hurt a lot of peoples feelings. i don't think we should use words like that in a community like ours, though I agree with Orcc in basically everything he said.

yes, we should try to prevent hurting someone else's feelings whenever possible (and especially when reasonable) but we can not base our ethics on that and only that.

I think acting like a god in a case like this (like Thunder with the "if you use that word you can leave" attitude bullshit without given authority to do so) is the most immature way to act in a case like this. For sure there are good points to both sides of this discussion, and a communication style similar to Thunders results in an one-sided conversation where in this case Thunder tends to go ad hominem and "i won't talk to you LOOOL" attitude instead of actually trying to argue with anything that makes sense or try to understand where the other guy is coming from.

In this very chat log though, I think Luther and GraduS especially are going way too far with the aggressive insult towards some groups of people. It doesnt mean we have to dismiss their opinions and what they actually have to say. I think there's some real truths into what they are trying to say, regarding the immigrant issue. afaik immigrants actually doing what Luther pointed out; telling swedes etc to get out of their hometowns, it's theirs now etc. And when the police don't seem to give a shit, what do you expect? Hugs and kisses? Not really. If a person feels like they are mistreated, they are going to turn into aggression, especially young men. It also seems like there's a huge pressure on to the policemen (and others in charge) to not act accordingly, they are basically forced to be racist towards white people in these places or otherwise there's going to be a bunch of collectivists on their asses, painting them as the bad guys.

I don't think he's generalizing that though, you can look at a general trend and draw conclusions without saying everyone in those groups ever exactly behave the way explained for example. It's not prejudice, it's something that majority of women do differently than men and vice versa.

That argument is so dull that it's sad to see it time and time again. "The spoken language in Hungary is Hungarian" --> "NOT TRUE, THERE ARE POELPE WHO SPOKE OTHER LANUGAGE YOU ARE INCOREKT WHY YOU GENERALIZE THIS CONTRY MANS"...

(reason: bad word not related no anyone here with probability 99%)
Actually when we let offensive talk fly free in the chat that is causing people to leave the community, you may not notice cus there's not a big fuss made about it, but we know it for a fact. And if you're worried about the community, maybe instead of 40 replies in this topic, people should consider being active in the topics that are about elma.

politics talk in 2020's eol yay!!!!!

too lazy to answer to literally all arguments here (mb later today) and also why would i since im 16 and i know nothing about life and should just shut up in a quiet corner secluded from all older generations
but
looking back at the chatlog convo, i think both sides were overeacting a bit
like i do understand thunders concerns about the quality of eol chat but that doesnt mean you instantly have to tell them to log off and warn them with bans. i remember telling/thinking about certain people the same (still not saying names) but i realised that situations like these can be more peacefully solved by simply a) tell them to be a bit more considerate if that works or b) maybe tell an amdin first about the offenses instead of spamming chat with "PLS BAN AND LOG OFF"? and block them meanwhile
and i do understand the swedemanses and graduses concerns about the danger of immigration and yes that is a very real problem that needs to be solved but there are better ways imo than namecalling and stuff. sadly you cant do much about it individually, it is government problem. but even if you had ways to try and help (mb there is idk) one of them is certainly not throwing around nwords and the like in a random gamechat. and that just worsens the atmosphere of said gamechat's game
in my conclusion: if everyone was a bit less radical about their opinions it would certainly assist in making eol a better environment

maybe there wouldn't be zero newcomers if the overall atmosphere of eol didn't scare them away

Really i wrote some wierd things there yesterday hmm
Will add some

Joke was about "log off" and such. Ofc nothing fun in stealing.

Just in some countryes "n.." is such far thing, that its used only for jokes. Really in rus "negr" is a norm word to call black man (at least was some years ago:/). Yea, mb pawq is right. In eng many black mans, also there are immigration probleme in some countries. So there its like an insult hmmm....

Hard to make an opinion about it. Me dont insult ppl, and ofc wouldnt want to see such community where insult is norm.
But where is the... between insult and joke? "u nab" is insult? "!lev 0" is?
Hmm imo yea:/ but depends on context

Of course it's impossible to say in advance exactly what words will be found to be offensive or insulting. "u nab" can be expressed as either "haha u nab i rekt your time :P" or "you're a pathetic noob after playing the game for 10 years, what are you even doing here". The first would be extremely unlikely to be taken as an insult, and the latter would be the opposite. So no, of course we won't ban people for using the word "nab", but if someone uses it in a way that is deliberately offensive, then yes. Also, it's not like we throw bans left and right whenever somebody slips something. If you say something that somebody finds not nice and they tell you about it, you can just say "sorry np" and everyone will move on. Or you can say "I agree, fuck n**". But why?

Think back to how Bismuth got permanently turned off the scene because of everyone calling him a noob. Or how Zero got really annoyed and demotivated when people said "oh ffs not Zero again" whenever he joined a battle. If I remember correctly, both in the end posted on lauta about it, which was perhaps a bit of a wake-up call for many. But how many others also felt discouraged by EOL chat behaviour but never spoke out about it and just left quietly? Do we want Thunder to be the next one? I sure as hell don't, and as long as I'm mod, I'll help enforce rules that try to prevent it. It's not about unreasonably limiting people's freedom of expression, because that would also turn some off. It's about expecting, and requiring, respect from players towards others. And it has absolutely nothing to do with freedom of speech.

Finally, yes, immigration is a big problem bla bla bla. But this thread is not at all about that. It's possible to have a completely civilised conversation about topics like this, as we have many times before, despite the negative feelings. Using racial slurs is both unhelpful and unnecessary, and will simply not be tolerated.

ultimately it's not the word that's insulting, it's the context that counts. but still i'm pretty sure that luth and grad's respectively muslim Nwords and sand Nwords aren't really words that mark a positive approach. and imo some uses of nab osv can be definitely banned. but that needs mods full of correctness that actually understand the context and dont jump on everything that sounds insulting, yet do jump on things that don't sound insulting by the word, but really, they are

Which is why every time a similar situation occurs, we read all relevant chatlogs (+ quite far back) and then discuss things and seek the opinion of every available mod :)

I thought it doesn't need much effort to not be a racist asshole and be a decent human being, guess not.
