Offensive language quoted from Twitter feed?

Is it just me, or is there some profanity on Runescape's homepage after clicking a news item or such (specifically, in the Twitter feed)?

"Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for." Can games be art?

Mod on Twitter duty (Poppy) got a bit trigger happy with the retweet button. Oops lol. Wonder why the website shows such old tweets though, it was posted hours ago theres like two dozen newer tweets since then.

Well, that's the issue of having a live feed out of your control.

 

To be fair though, it isn't as thought Jagex has a hardline on the "offensive" language (as for shit being deemed offensive that's another matter). Look at the option to now remove the censor for language and the softening of the rule itself (can say things, just not direct them at other people etc).

Language is inherently neutral, and unoffensive. Its the meaning attached to words, and how they are used that make a word offensive. I mean, literally, shit means poop. But it's deemed offensive so some people are offended.

 

In other news, why does anyone give a crap if "offensive" language was quoted?

This. There are people who are distinguishing between swear words, who are not allowed to be said, and other words, yet at the same time are incredibly insultive.

They think it's wrong to say [bleep] when something bad or w/e has happened, yet they feel it's ok to say "you little f" because they didn't write out the word >.>

 

 

It's all about the context.
