> Support. It would be great if any users who belong to the Anishinaabe nations might contribute, and I defer to their knowledge, but it’s my understanding that this word is culturally sensitive and tied to their belief system, which is still very much practiced. It is basic best practices of cultural sensitivity to ban taboo words.
Under this statement that can also apply to a ton of cultures influences here on fr from still practiced beliefs. And I mean a ton of them and who’s to say this argument won’t spread to those things too? Like all the Greek stuff which Greece is still huge on trying to get their stolen treasures back and the people who still worship the Greek gods. Or skill and hati who have some pretty mess up tales attached to Norse myths which are again still practiced by some people. Or galic stuff where their culture is also dying out.
This can’t just be applied to one thing cause tomorrow this way of thinking will spread until there’s not much of fr left. Next week it’ll be people pushing to have names in other languages banned. What if I have a German named dragon does this mean I’ll be accused of supporting horrible things? Will having a Chinese or Japanese dragon name be insensitive or will calling a dragon Cerberus be banned because it’s a part of Greek cultures? Heck next it’ll be banning genders and removing them completely because it’s offensive to the lgbt+ community.
im also staff banning gender, im just trying to imagine whats going on in MF0's head. like undel personally emailing me saying "sorry.... you have they/them in your clan profile :/ u gotta go"
I'm starting to wonder at this player. If random eyed dragons upset you so much you have a shame tab for special eyed dragons... Why would you buy a special eyed dragon from another player to put in your shaming special eyes tab?
Admittedly, said dragon is from one of Mystiek's pairs, but still. Makes no sense.
I start to wonder if the player really is just stirring up drama for fun and actually likes the dragons in the tab, thus why they won't be exalted.
