--- and Jew are considered rascist remarks.I mean,most just say it cuz saying the whole freakin thing takes too long,but whatever,soccer moms would be offended.About that sophomore thing,that is dumb seeing as how you can say the word "---",and the word "ass" if you just add a punctuation at the end.Real good ST,atta way to be on the ball.

Took out offensive terms. JP is an abbreviation for Japanese, the other is a slang term used offensively.

You know, I found that funny. Words that are considered as racist remarks against a country and a religion.On 2003-08-31 19:43, Shadow82 wrote:

It's always been like this, no surprise.
And don't use the offensive words on the forum people, aye.

This is dumb. We need to start getting more mature about words, they are only really offensive in a certain context and if we can be mature about it then they are no longer going to be offensive.
I know I can't say the 'N' word here either, but that word is a case in point. Black people themselves started to use this as an ironic word in their pop culture - notice how blacks are now practically the only people to use this word? I do understand why this one is censored, because it has in the past been a terrible slur - it's just not so much anymore and this has resulted from black people being defiant about it.
JP instead of the J word for Japanese too. Here in the UK, the three letter variation has never really been a bad word. Importers have used it on Japanese games as an abbreviation for country of origin, much like Brit. = British. Nobody ever seems to take offense.
I find it ironic that I can't say such words on this forum, but I can say for example, spic. That is an offensive word for a Spanish person. What I am saying here is a statement, so I am not using it in an offensive context, and I hardly think my boyfriend (whose family is Spanish) is going to be terribly offended by me making that statement.
The ones on PSO I don't understand are...
Gay, as in "My friend is gay." I can't say that word without putting a period in or after it. It's NOT an offensive word, unless you use it in an offensive context. I never use it in an offensive context, so it's annoying to have to think about it. Not only is this not an offensive word, it's the word of choice used by homosexuals TO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES. Its a word they chose, that they are happy with.
Just because 5 year olds have made it a 'bad' word, does not mean it should be removed from a videogame where adults are playing. And how many gay PSO players do you know? I know 2, and they are not allowed to use this word without altering it. That's stupid. And if people start becoming paranoid about the word 'gay', so that the only people using it are those who intend it as an insult, it's going to become PREDOMINATELY an insult. Is that what we want?
Jew. This is a bloody religion!
Negro. I can say Caucasian, but I can't say Negro? When did this word become offensive? I tried saying it the other day, when I said, factually, to my friend "You don't see so many negro characters." It blanked it out, which actually made me laugh at how paranoid ST are.

I can't believe shoot is bleeped out.
-what wep u got?
-Frzn @&?%%&er.
Weird. I know it's like an american version of damn, but words like that are everywhere. Icould say damn before I was fize. and am I disturbed? NO! ST have gone overkil on the swears.
