I might sound soft but hey, certain words are offensive to ladies & I think they should be triggered or have replacers....
cunt needs sorting, my ex went nuts at me earlier as some noobie is using it as a location & in their posts.
Doesnt bother me but just a female outlook & hopefully spud you can fix it before I have to suffer more crap lol

I'm not so sure about that, that opens up a HUGE can of worms, if you start censoring things, then before you know it, you've got the most bland site on the net.
Besides, this is a horror film site, I would have thought every single one of us would be against censorship of any kind (except for legal issues)

I am so blasé about what 'ladies' want or not want unless I want to get them in my bed. Since this is not applicable here, I'd say forget it.
Most things have a male view and a female view. I stopped a long time ago to make politically correct the female view my own.

I think pca has pretty much summed it up for me.
cunt is used much more heavily in the uk than it is in the states, for example, take a film like Dog Soliders and see what scifi channel did to it. I didn't think there was anything particularly bad about the language in that movie
Works both ways too, you here about the two nintendo games that had the word spastic in it?

There's a big language barrier with international forums. I mean take a look at the common usage of the word 'gay', it has very little to do with homosexuality than it does its traditional meanings.
I'm not sure there's anyway around it, I'm aware that people casually swear, but I really don't like the idea of censoring people. If people are just going round swearing for the sake of feeling big or something, just challenge them not to debase theirselves
I'm aware i'll burst into f*cking this and f*cking that when something pisses me off though, sometimes its not only warranted, its mandatory.
So although there is a censor option, I'm inclined to use it only to block retagged tags for file links.

Fairy Muff, I really didnt expect an ear full of grief last night but I guess it may have been alcohol fueled

LoL I guess you like living a single life?
Personally I like women & try to conduct myself in such a way that doesnt offend them.
Yes they can be hard work at times, as can us blokes, but I'd rather a girl than my hand, hehe

Your ex is browsing this forum and is offended by the word Cunt?
oh no wait she's offended by using the word Cunt as a location?
Cunt
Quote: | There are places called Cunt in Spain and Turkey, and Spain also has a town called Cunter. |
Just tell her to grow up.
Censure is bad, mkay?!?
