Ban this word
« on: June 07, 2012, 01:55:33 PM »
Kamakazi

I know it's not offensive but it is used incessantly on the wishlist.  The filters seem to do a pretty good job of removing foul language so why not add Kamakazi to that list?

I think a more fitting solution is to just ignore threads about it. They aren't going to stop, and even if it is filtered, you'll still understand what it is in context.

Because he's new, and hasn't progressed to the point of realizing that something won fairly is worth something won questionably ten times over.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

-1  i don't have a problem with this word being used, however

jap   was filtered out in fighter ace because of the higher proportion of japanese players and to them it is offensive like calling lusche a nazi because he is German. 

Many US types think nothing of it because it was used during the war but it is 2012   ;)

The irony here is that the word "Jap" was looked at for what it is (simply an abbreviation) before Japan started bombing everyone they could reach... and NOW it's offensive...  :rofl

I work for Mitsubishi (a subsidiary anyway) and actual Japanese nationals have about 10,000 thicker skin than "Japanese-Americans" (don't even get me started on the whole hyphen-American thing).

My first response is "why"? My second was "nanny state," so perhaps I should leave it there and not go with my third...
