It's only offensive if you take it as offensive. And you've got to be really reaching to find that offensive. Geez, I didn't know that people were so sensitive.

Niggle

 

 

 

Noun

 

1. a small worry or doubt

 

2. a trivial objection or complaint [scandinavian]

 

 

 

No...

 

 

 

Look at #2.

 

 

 

HOW [bLEEP]-ING IRONIC. Niggling about niggles, the RSOF reminds us that they are a bunch of crybabies with absolutely nothing to do.

 

 

 

Absolutely nothing to do... And we're the one's talking about what they do.. hmm =P~

Honestly, cmon no one cares; not even the majority of black people I bet.

 

 

 

*S[racist term]s*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just sad

 

 

 

this remind my so bad of a southpark episode, we're are white people we can NEVER ever understand the pain or felling that runs thry a black mans heart and mind when he hears the n word, remember that you are white you can't say it don't matter, cause we simply can understand it.

 

 

 

stands word:

 

i get it, i finely get it, i don't get it, i simple can't get it, and the black kids saids he is right, he can't know how he feels at all ;)

I'm not white, I'm asian

 

 

 

It's not the same word, should s[racist term] be removed from the dictionary because it has the N word in it?

 

 

 

Discrimination is pretty much gone anyway in formal terms; I mean, a black man (may be only half but similar) is about to become president, this is a better society.

No...

 

 

 

The objective of the post wasnt to question the meaning of the word, which as I stated earlier is perfectly proper. The objective is that if Jagex keep recieving comments such as the ones I posted, will they bow down and change the comment....

 

 

 

Why should they change it? They aren't saying anything racist or suggestively racist, you wouldn't ask them to change a quest cutscene where your character discovers a [weakness] in his/her armour due to some evil magic because it is racist would you...

 

 

 

I find that especially stupid. No one's going to think: "OMG THERE'S A CHINESE PERSON IN MY ARMOUR!" A ch?ink is a small, narrow opening or a light ringing sound as far as I'm concerned. I don't see how words can be racist anyways. How can a racist term be any worse than a general term? How is cracker any worse than Caucasian person, or ch?ink any worse than Chinese person, for example? A load of nonsense.

 

 

 

[sarcasm]Why don't we censor cracker, too? After all, cracker is a racist term for Caucasian people. It doesn't matter than crackers are a commonly-eaten food, just like it doesn't matter that ch?ink refers to a small narrow opening or light ringing sound.[/sarcasm]

 

 

 

I hope programming language keywords don't become racist. We won't be able to use the 'class' keyword because it's racist, by excluding all data types that are not classes. [sarcasm]Hopefully there will be censors built in to operating systems to prevent the characters c, l, a, s and s appearing in sequence.[/sarcasm]

 

 

 

In my opinion, they should have given the RSOF morons the middle finger and changed nothing. For one, 'niggles' isn't even a dual-term like ch?ink or cracker - it's not racist at all. Something that sounds similar isn't the something. If an elephant (yeah, I was originally gonna put a person's name but you'll probably whine) walks around on the floor, there isn't an earthquake occurring just because it sounds like it. Too much waste comes from peoples' mouths, and too much gas from their ears, these days.

 

 

 

Racism is arguably one of the most idiotic concepts ever invented by mankind, along with war and people of different religious groups not leaving those of other groups alone.

 

 

 

!Xobile the African is a human.

 

Vassili the Caucasian is a human.

 

Chang the Asian is a human.

 

Jose the Hispanic is a human.

 

etc.

 

 

 

It makes no difference. There is absolutely nothing on this planet where race makes a difference, except visual recognition. And we don't even need race there. Take the French, for example. Their law enforcement is forbidden by law (I believe) to make any references to race. They say something like "dark skin complexion" instead of African, for example. Excellent idea. The French are intelligent - start listening to them. COUGH UNITED STATES + METRIC SYSTEM COUGH.

 

 

 

If this post made absolutely no sense to you whatsoever, please send me a PM saying "hello" in Russian. Thank you. The Russian word for hello is ?????? (privet). Pronounced sort of like "priv-yet".

 

 

 

Well, I'm off to go slip my dagger through some ch?inks in some creatures' chitins, and land vicious blows.

You guys do know that this kind of stuff happens in the RSOF every day right? If you think this niggle uproar was something big, it's nothing compared to what the RSOF delivers on a daily basis.

By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

It's funny that Jagex has changed it because of those who can't read properly. On a side note, "black demon" means exactly the same as that racist term when translated literally into Cantonese. Post this on the RSOF and get 10k "omg racist Duradel!!!111one111" replies.

I'm assuming niggles is more of an English word, so not knowing the real meaning beforehand, I found the whole situation somewhat amusing. :)

 

That, and the word niggles itself is just a funny word. :P

This is once again an example of Jagex giving in to the Politically Correct [bleep] and their lapdogs. :wall: It sickens me...

 

 

 

You know those "symbols" in various dungeons? They used to be pentagrams. They were then changed to "demonic symbols" which were changed to what they currently are.

 

 

 

There are other instances of the PC Cult and their lapdogs getting things changed, too... For example, Zanik's examine used to say "She kicks H.A.M. [wagon]" but they changed it because of those whining sacks of [cabbage].

 

 

 

I wish these people would just shut the [bleep] up already, suck it up, and leave well-enough alone.

Ok, all words starting with "ni" are racist from now on. And anyone who doesn't agree with me is a racist aswell.

 

 

 

Seriously... this is one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen by Jagex. Epic fail.

OT: I hear a lot of black kids where I live comment that Barack Obama isn't black enough, that he's only HALF black. So apparently they're still complaining about not having a black president. Then the ones that say he IS good enough go around and push others around in a taunting manner.

 

 

 

On-Topic: I thought that the people on RSOF were just making fun of the word 'niggle' because it sounded funny? I didn't realize there was actually a huge rant on the forums that made Jagex change the word out of fear of a lawsuit.

 

 

 

This is pretty ridiculous. I made a thread in Varrock Library that kind of makes fun of the whole situation. Niggles... hehe :P

Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

So, basically the Knights who say Ni are in for it.

 

I really do wonder, if there was a deadly plague that was transferred through contact with the RSOF, how much would the average IQ of humanity go up...

Hail to The Great Big Penguin in the sky. And Guthix, of course.
