Such offense, many rude.

Hello MCGamer! This thread here is a discussion to sort out some issues this community has with certain words. I will not mention certain cases, it would help in the clarity with this thread, but I don't want to bring it up due to banning.

There are words that can mean offensive things in other cultures, even with same language.

For example, the word "sick" is a meaning for "ill", but also can mean "cool" or "awesome". So one could see the negative meaning instead of the positive.

These misconceptions could lead to situations where one party is using a word casually as it is no harm in their understanding, where another party finds it unusual or offensive.

So why am I writing this? The community (including staff) has a natural tendancy to play victim roles. That should end. We need to step up our game. I don't really know how else to end this thread.

I see that happen a lot where a person takes something wrong when it actually wasn't intended to be.

For example, if you get offended when someone in a cw says "ge ge" or "gg no re", then just stop playing videogames, seriously.
It's just a phrase used for fun in other games, no need to take it so seriously.
When I was in a clan, we got forced to DQ from a mod 'cause I said sarcastically "gg no re"
Or when someone from the other clan tries to snipe someone and dies and one guy jokingly says "nice shot"
It's just a friendly joke, no need to take it hard.

If you are so sensitive that you're going to DQ someone 'cause he jokingly said "gg no re", it's not my fault.

I think it's hard on the internet since you can't really read facial expressions or know how the person is feeling at that current time. So some people can be really easy to offend due to their mood or maybe just a sensitive person. Usually if you say I didn't mean for you to take it that way, you can get away in these situations.

The specific word in the situation was savage.

I believe this issue can be solved with a simple use of words. If someone ever has a problem with how a word was used or if they thought it was offensive, they should politely ask the way they ment to use that word. Now, if the intention was ment to be offensive, that is not right and they the victim should get an apology. If it was a mix up, both people should try and talk it over and see where things went wrong. Finally, the victim could say something along the lines of "Please don't use that word or phrase around me". That's all it takes. This way no one is offended anymore and the issue is resolved. I think minor problems like this can and should be solved with words.
