Quoted: it isn't. I use it all the time. I was referring to them running to whomever they chose to complain about the site. View Quote Not trying to be a dick here. Really. But this is what always gets me with this sort of thing. By every metric, Karen when used that way is specifically a term used to degrade someone based on their skin color. And you saying “no it isn’t” flys in the face of every definition of it. Just to understand, as this isn’t the free world here and I get that….. but are the mods generally the arbiters of what words are to mean? |

Quoted: Striker has posted multiple times with glee that the “GD playground is closed” Take that for what you will, trolls will continue to troll while the vast majority of the member ship continues to try to follow the written and unwritten, enforced and unenforced COC. “You can’t call savage people savages because I made some intentional bait posts and have anecdotal evidence that supports the bias I already had” Or should is just say “lol”? To claim you know when someone has racism in their heart when you literally have no clue if that’s true or not is exactly what sooooo many people are fucking sick of. Phrase something with just the wrong little word or order of words and you’ve gone from dismissing something that is stupid to “ That’s a dog whistle to muh Racists” Give me a fucking break. View Quote Agreed, If a pack of feral dogs attacks someone, and you call them feral you presumably aren’t labeling all dogs as such. I suppose it’s still safe to call people assholes. |

Quoted: Guess we're getting Brownelled...again. It's all so tiresome. I won't be renewing my membership. View Quote It is and not will I renew. Arfcom has been a nice getaway for me for the last several years and Ive had pleasant conversations with a lot of good people here, but now that has been infiltrated with the same PC bullshit that I despise. I will not renew either. |

Sounds good but where does it end? I have as much if not more disdain for white trash meth heads as any other racial group’s criminal scum. Does using the term “white trash” mean I think that about all white people? No, of course not. So if I call a group of black teens who beat a white person at a gas station or fast food restaurant “feral blacks”, does that mean I think that of all black people? I’ve never used that term, just call them thugs or criminal scum, which describes a behavior, how long before that’s not allowed?

Are we allowed to post sweeping generalizations about groups if they’re positive? “As a final note, if someone posts something that is over the line, and you quote it and/or indicate your agreement with it, you will receive the same sanction as them.” lol |

Quoted: Read what he typed on the page. Words have meanings. It reads ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE ETA And I know it means any group and not races of people because I've been warned about talking about the Taliban in one instance and asking if a person that stole a vehicle in South Texas was a Mexican. I'll point out that none of those racist warnings I got were for races of people. You are lying your fucking asses off pretending this shit is just about the poor poor black people. You don't have freedom of speech where you are from and neither do half the mods so it's no wonder you guys are confused. View Quote Is Mexican racist? |

Quoted: If you guys want to express racism, just go to Stormfront. Otherwise, it just hurts the 2A cause and makes firearm enthusiasts look bad. View Quote Gun owners breathing hurts the 2a cause. Everything makes firearms enthusiasts look bad. I stopped going to the range because I don't own a tux, and didn't want to hurt gun owners images. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Except that these "rules" prohibit the calling of names or calling out of ANY group of people. Pedophiles are now a protected class on ARFCOM. whow..that was quite a jump..are pedophiles a race now? Not race but group. Right. And name calling or being mean about any group is prohibited. This is nothing new. They enforce wrong speak strikes on people all the time for talking shit about the Taliban or nationalities even when they are jokes. |

Quoted: Quoted: Read what he typed on the page. Words have meanings. It reads ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE How do you feel about generalizations about non native born Americans? Because it is interesting that it is the non native born American staff who are leading this campaign. That is you and DK-Prof. I think many members would agree with the statement that non native born Americans tend to be overly sensitive. And, to the crux of the issue: do most of the members who you are labeling as racist actually attack others based on race? Or are they attacking a culture that they believe is harmful to our country and way of life? As you just wrote, a group is not racist. |

So if I report every thread denigrating white women, there will be a response?

Quoted: this has absolutely nothing to do with free speech which btw doesn't apply here. it has everything to do with GD being over run with racist crap. it's coming to an end and if you feel that is infringing on your right to free speech I don't know what to tell you. View Quote I do understand that substituting Amish for the n-word is pretty blatant which word is actually intended. Whatever happens I really hope this isn't the beginning of overmoderation. If you're going to err, please do so on the side of undermoderation. |

I am sensing that these new rules are not popular. And yes on a friday night on a holiday weekend some drunken postings will not end well. To those that are soon to disappear, it was nice knowing you.

Just was told they are watching me and will kick me off the site for racism if I say things they don't like. They will stretch any rule to fit anything they don't like. |

I remember a post a while back that said "Kill all white people" I reported it as well as several others, nothing happened.

Quoted: Criticize white woman by calling them Karens? Arfcom is a-ok with that, they couldn't care less Criticize black women by calling them something? Banned, not allowed. They are a protected class. What a crappy website, I guess I know how I will be saving $25 here soon. View Quote |

Quoted: Can't wait for the next thread relentlessly attacking every single person born prior to 1965. I see nothing, I hear nothing, I say noth-ink! View Quote "Do not make negative statements about ALL members of a group people based on isolated incidents or even on overall general statistics of that group." So I would say hit 'report' on those threads. But who am I? |

Quoted: perfectly fine as long as they aren't referred to with racist terms. I don't understand the need to refer to people that way to get a point across.. a group of white people commit a crime..no racist terms used. a group pf black people commit the same crime and racist terms abound. that is the issue.. folks need to remember..big brother is watching this site and will use any excuse to shut it down..we aren't going to let that happen..and people that don't care or work towards causing that will be gone. View Quote So what your saying is….your afraid so your gonna pussy foot your way around free speech to appease the government? |

Quoted: I'm just reading the announcement and page 6. Is there a list of words that we can use?/media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/476-342.gif View Quote There must be a term we can use to describe people who laugh at their own posts. |

I get what you're trying to do here, because I've seen exactly the behavior you're trying to stop and it is overtly racist as fuck. But man if this isn't the most slippery of slopes!
*to clarify, by slope I meant noun 1. a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another; a rising or falling surface. |
