I mean, it's not like it was a bad thing, we just have to watch our language.

Though I don't remember ever using the terms banned by FANDOM.
 
i absolutely hate everything they've been doing, it's honestly hard to stay on this site with the way it's been going
 
Similar to what is happening on Amino. People dislike having to exercise their manners online, hehe. Jokes aside, yes, there's a lot of people that have the "it's the internet, grow up if you feel offended by words, blah blah blah + bonus: kill yourself :)" and I'm happy to see this rule being in here. It's sad this mentality has gotten to the point that we need a rule to remind people they have to be respectful and not treating those "jokes" as a common and ok thing one does.
 
I just hope I don't screw up accidentally.

I still remember the day I mistyped "rapping".
 
I actually have to agree with Alexcar here. While I myself have grown pretty resistant to these types of things, that doesn't mean the rest of the community feels the same way. What might be a joke to one person might be extremely offensive to another, so we're better off having these slurs off limits. There are rules for a good reason, be they implicit or explicit, and the internet isn't exempt from such rules.

It's not like it'll affect any of our pages... right?
 
I doubt mine will be affected, but seeing some members' reactions, they might be affected.
 
I don't want to sound like I am completly bashing FANDOM for their actions, but I find it very unkind to ban people for saying unkind words. I believe in forgiveness, and that the FANDOM should be kind and forgive those who treat others without said kindness.

Regardless, I am not the person responsible for making such a decision.
 
I am a big believer in free speech, so unfortunately, I cannot support what FANDOM is doing in any way, shape or form. However, I do understand why they're doing it and where they're coming from. And since they are a service that I am currently using, I can't do much to really change anything. I am bound to the Terms of Use, as all other users, and the only way to win a game with them is to stop playing all together.

Also, it's not like every swear word is being forbidden. Just a few specific ones that can be really harmful in the wrong hands.
 
The only real one I have any issue with is the C word, and even then, only because people from Britain might be used to utilizing that word liberally, since there it's basically just a harsher version of "asshole".
 
I'm with Crabwhale and Yellowpig
 
More like neutral. I can't hate it, but I don't have to like it.

Haha I mistyped Battles.
 
Remember when I posted my wall-o-text describing abilities and nobody understood because "complex" and whatnot? The opposite happens to me. Right now. I have no idea what's happening in here and am filled with confusiones.
