No thanks man. I respect both sides and their opinions over the term, but I cannot support adding it into our "slur" category for punishment within TTT. My view towards it is the same as it always has been. If it is used to legitimately harass an individual, the case is subject to our harassment guidelines. If it is banter between gamers or friends, I could not care less. If that gamer banter explodes out of hand into full blown arguments between players, we have the guidelines for it. If someone feels the necessity to spam the term just to annoy people, its harassment or spam.
Fundamentally, I can never support the banning of language. On that same note though, I also will NOT take action against our present policy towards slurs and derogatory terms. Such rules are necessary to prevent individuals from being harassed. This is a community where we want to be inclusive and have fun, in order to bring people together to play video games. Both. Not one or the other.
