PC Riot Police? Pants Are Dragon banned from scouting grounds? SAD!

Im pretty sure he straight up called someone a ni-double Guh-er, then stated he was proud of it or something.

I’m glad riot banned him from going. There are a ton of “bad words” to use but he has to pull out a racist one? Come on, that’s not cool. Then he said “am I proud that I called him the n word? Yeah kinda” I was watching his steam when he said it and I haven’t watched his stream since.

That being said, it doesn't mean we should strip him of potential jobs just because of this. Dardoch has done far worse, being banished from multiple teams, yet rito hasn't stepped in on him yet. If rito was smart, they'd let him stay in this, as then they could shift the entire "blame" aspect onto the owners should one of them choose to sign him.

How is 3 up to debate at all....?

There is an argument that marriage is a Christian conception and that in Christianity, marriage is only between a man and a woman. The entire debate on gay marriage is basically over wording. Transexuality does indeed have a mental disorder associated with it called Gender Dysphoria. Abortion is a highly debatable topic though when it comes to scientific discoveries.

I would simply like to point out that accepting someone and thinking what they do is wrong are not the same thing. My brother is a bisexual atheist who lives with two transgendered males (female biologically) and sleeps with both of them as he sees fit. My parents however are an extremely conservative christian couple. And nobody could make an arguement to suggest that they dont accept him. They simply think he is wrong.

Wait..........You don't believe in gay marriage, transexuality is a mental disorder.....but abortion is murder?

You won't abort a kid because it is murder, but you also will never truly accept them if they turn out to be one of those things? Wouldn't it ironically turn out they were better off dead then? Because no one in their right mind, "disorder" or not, would want to walk around knowing their mommy or daddy doesn't think they should ever be allowed to marry, or that their options for existence include being labeled as "crazy" in some manner or another, for turning out either to be A or B.

You don't magically "turn" into anything.

You make a choice. You live with the choice and all the negatives that come with it.

Sticks and stones just break my bones - it takes words to hurt me.

This whole concept of "not letting words hurt you" is only even conceivable if someone totally desensitizes themselves to others and assume their they're only one who matter. That's a ridiculously unhealthy and honestly pretty sociopathic mindset. If implemented, it would overall deprive the person of strong participation in social life. No one respects someone who respects no one.

Even that aside, what's with this modern concept that words don't matter? Words are, I'd argue, the only things that do matter. Unless you have to deal with trauma, force can only affect your body. But words? Words are how we process the world, and how we learn most of the things about it. Words are how we communicate and coordinate. Words are our most important outside resource on our own virtues and flaws, and far more useful than the muddled results of introspection in most cases. Words might not (always) result in physical harm, but they change who we are. In a world devoid of words, you would be utterly unlike who you are now, and everything you hear that has any meaning at all affects your trajectory in some tiny way.

Even if you were to magically discard words without being affected, which I believe is impossible to do entirely, you'd become the sort of person who disregards words, meaning the sort of person who disregards the opinions of others. Again, if held in logical consistency, that's an unhealthy mindset that will leave you isolated and devoid of relationships of any type. Physical harm changes how we function, but words change who we are. Heck, even in cases of physical force, most of the time that comes as part of coercion or hatred of some sort, which all revolves around words and communication. Really only random acts of violence are excluded from that, and even in those, the perpetrator has been shaped at least partially by words into the sort of person who would commit random acts of violence.

And all of that is not to mention that this philosophy of "words can never hurt me" is itself communicated by words. You can't even talk about it without being affected by them.

This is totally unrelated, but using "pussies" as an insult really weirds me out in most cases. Most people who use it are straight men, who... presumably like the organ in question? So why's that an insult for them?

Generally, peoples opinions and words don't hurt me unless, it was like my family saying them then it cuts a little deeper. I believe its mostly the intent behind the words, when you call someone a pussy you are calling them soft. I don't mind being called a pussy, because like 50% of the population loves them. :D

Fuck political correctness. Does nothing but turn men into sheep. Grow a pair, speak your mind. If they ban you, move your business to a company that allows people to have freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech is a legal issue, not an interpersonal one. The moment you aren't dealing with the government, your speech is effectively free. Private businesses are not required to give you a forum to voice your opinions. The only thing freedom of speech means is "it is not illegal to say these things", which in the US at least means "my words aren't actively inciting either immediate violence or immediate and dangerous mass-panic".
