we're also smarter & more handsome than 99% of society and occasionally demonstrate random acts of telepathy or maybe that's just me

Jagex's chatwatch program automuting private messages/etc
Well my black friends use the n-word all the time and my gay friends use the f-word all the time, and I'm relatively sure they don't discriminate against their own race and sexual orientation respectively, so... >_> certainly, that's why i asked him how he uses it. context is a big thing. they can certainly be terms of endearment among friends/attempts at reclamation and stuff. it can also be (as sy explained much better than i could) internalised hate. but i'm guessing most of the uses of those words in online video games don't fit into those previous categories. e - also you were looking for examples of people who've left games due to being insulted, and i guess i'm one of those. it's not having your feelings hurt once and then throwing a hissy fit. it's just a constant stream of shit directed at yr sexuality so that eventually you have to weigh your continued enjoyment of a game vs how much the people you're playing with/against make you not enjoy the game.

Jagex's chatwatch program automuting private messages/etc
There. Right there. You're doing the same thing as everyone else in this thread. You're using quack psychology. You've made a claim, now back it up. Just because you've been taught all your life that saying the 'n' word somehow encourages racism doesn't make it true. I'm not showing my proof until your group shows yours. You made the claim first. A note: some of my sources are from scholarly databases with paid subscriptions. I won't be able to show all of them unless you are subscribed to the same service. well here's something, i guess. i didn't really realise i needed a scholarly source to say that words have effects. i didn't make any claims and i'm not particularly interested in trading citations, you just implied you had "actual research" and i was interested in seeing what it might be. i'll also ask, how do you use the words "[bleep]" or "[racist term]"? i find it hard to believe you manage to use them in a way that says you have no issues with either groups of people. some more general stuff about slurs.

could you maybe show some of this research or anything. i'd say that failing to make examples of those who use derogatory slurs like that directly contributes to the normalisation of sexism, racism, etc. the fact that people have become more confident in calling shit like this out these days is great, and if jagex actually has instituted a flagging system for people who use the word [racist term] and [bleep] and whatever, that's rad as heck.

Manga/Anime Discussion
the last two episodes of shingeki no kyojin could've v. easily been merged into one and been a lot better for it. the characters are pretty good but they're dragged down by the anime bullshit and terrible over explanatory dialogue some animes have. definitely looking forward to the next one tho also the opening theme owns bones

The Game of Thrones TV series - Season 4
her whole prophecy schtick was about drogo returning to life, not her having a child. "when she has a child" was part of her saying when drogo would return in the book but not in the show. there's nothing one way or the other about whether she can have another child in the show, i'm pretty sure.

The Game of Thrones TV series - Season 4
i dunno im okay w/all that, i just felt it kinda paled in comparison to the finales of previous seasons. i feel that they're playing up the v. high-fantasy aspects of daenerys' storyline to make the inevitable fall that much more shocking. the audience not being able to completely read a character's thoughts and motivations like they can in a book necessitates a different approach, and i think its working for the most part. fwiw i don't think she's meant to be completely likable e - daenerys seems to be pretty much everybody's least favourite character in the book so im glad theyre trying to change it up, unintentionally or not

The Game of Thrones TV series - Season 4
