Swearing in YAH

[jefffs]

proud to be part on the PC brigade, I have no need to use the C word on any occasion and never will, just part of the way i was raised, and I do put people on ignore when they use it and NO i dont want to use YAH room

A vote was taken not too use the C word in YAh. this is a tad like Brexit, the remoaners want to keep voting until it go`s their way

It's a word. You're an adult. Block people who use words you don't approve of. It's not that hard.

What people find offensive is purely subjective. There are hard and fast rules over blatant racism, homophobia etc and as adults we should all be aware of these by now. Swearing on the other hand is just another way of expressing your feelings surely and just words after all. I find personal attacks on people far more offensive tbh, should everyone be banned for that regardless of whether language deemed "offensive" is used or not ? If so where does it end, is chat about sport, politics, whether you agree on the best holiday resorts etc to be banned too? Conversations would be reduced to hi, bye and what the weather is like if that were the case. There is a fine line between offence and abuse, sometimes a hard one to call but again mainly subjective..
Good luck to mods/admin that have to make the decision.

If I don't like the conversation I block chatter/s or leave the room, an option we all have.

I hate the C word with a passion, although I can’t really explain why. As others have said it’s just a word, four letters in a certain order. I suppose I think it’s only EVER used to offend whereas most other profanities can be used generally.
Blocking users is an option but not if a mod uses language I find offensive so kinda pointless in my view.
If the allowing of swearing is the only change in YAH I certainly won’t be complaining.

On a side note... I hope and expect using the N word to still be bannable. Yes it's still just a word but I think we can all agree it is beyond offensive.

It's only the hatred of a word that gives it power.. Personally I prefer to give others as little power as possible over me

As I said, I can't really explain why it offends me. At least I can explain why I find the word 'Liverpool' offensive. lol

The N word comes under the hard and fast rules that we all, as adults, should know about by now..

Unless you are Stormzy or Jay Z apparently, then it's every second word, and we aren't allowed to be offended.

What if you type the words backwards?

I do not care for the idea of banning any words online or off. To me it smacks of Orwell's 1984 when it was planned that 'Newspeak' would par down the language so much that no alternative thoughts would be possible. If a word hurts your poor eyes so much just close them or hit that good 'ole ignore button
