Kaplan the Magne

JA4 has no legitimate non racist meaning.

12:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know this stuff bugs me more than others but I have waded through so many Dagos, Hebes, Spics, twats and cunts that I really think it's time for Enable to get WOKE.

12:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, yeah- and jew as a verb.

12:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Wa4 I can stand because it has another meaning.

12:42 pm

moolingwa

I think perhaps you might be conflating wa4 with a wo4....

12:43 pm

moolingwa

and as to Enable, it will probably never get updated

12:47 pm

moolingwa

Some years ago there was a movement to "clean up" the scrabble dictionaries, and it ultimately resulted in two different lists...one included with the commercial game, and one that is used in tournaments.

I think the primary argument was that the words do indeed exist, so as distasteful as they are, they are still legitimate.

There are also a subset words that have multiple meanings, and are used as slurs or offensive words only when used in context. Given that word games like this do not share any context, then I think there's a valid argument for keeping them included.

12:52 pm

hokie carla

I might be crazy, but there's only one J and it's a legit je4

2:36 pm

MollyL

THe point is, words are words. Whether they offend you or not.

3:44 pm

Gillie

Squardle excludes offensive words, but even it doesn't try to keep them completely out of the grid

3:55 pm

MollyL

Words by themselves don't offend me. When they are used to defile others, that I find offensive.

4:03 pm

Gillie

Well, I think that Kaplan is correct in stating that there is no inoffensive way to use some words - but insisting they never appear, even twisted up in an essentially random collection of letters, is going a bit far.

6:12 pm

hokie carla

I was confused on why she was complaining about ja4 and enable when ja4 isn't on enable. Did someone mention it and I missed it? Why was it even brought up to begin with?

6:18 pm

MollyL

I think she is so about the words she finds offensive that there are comments whether they are in the grid or not.

6:47 pm

TedinDurham

I think you kind of have to be looking to be offended to take offense at random collections of letters

8:11 pm
