Topic: Slurs* are slurs BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #5974 has been rejected.

remove alias fag (0) -> male/male (513819)
create alias faggot (0) -> homophobic_slur (1263)
create alias faggy (0) -> homophobic_slur (1263)
create alias nigga (0) -> racial_slur (148)
create alias nigger (0) -> racial_slur (148)

Reason: Slurs are slurs (Updated to include more slurs)
all of these could be aliased to be invalid tags
(as it is from retard to invalid_tag)but people usually would probably tag with this because it's in the post
just saying probably
if staff think its best to be invalited i would agree and change the BUR
any suggestions are welcomed

Followup
alias fag -> homophobic_slur
OLD REASON

it should be aliased to be a homophobic slur
the others tags are for other people who may try to tag it
I can't add

alias fag -> homophobic_slur

in the bur because it needs to be unaliased first

EDIT: The bulk update request #5974 (forum #383389) has been rejected by @slyroon.

I think fag should be aliased to faggot, and faggot imply slur. Faggot should be kept as a tag like good boy / good girl.

neither of those tags have a implication/alias so i don't see your point here

but i think its good to have fag to faggot but still being faggot to homophobic_slur
i think imma change this bur to just be slurs to be aliased to slurs

What's the point of keeping any of these?

say that to dimoretpinel
i don't see why keeping
its better to have it either invalited or aliased

"nigger > nigga
nigga > racial slur"

Bro... just alias shit directly.

it was originally but changed because thought it would be better that way for some reason
i can and will change it tho
seems better just being on directly

We really should avoid transcribing dialog into the tags. Especially if they'd have aliases themselves so the tag doesn't match what the dialog is.

There was a discussion on whether or not to keep individual slur tags and be able to blacklist them, but I feel it's going to be too much.

I feel that it's best that all of it be aliased to invalid tag, just so that if someone were to use it abusively (i.e., tag trolling/spamming), it will still be tagged as invalid rather than appear as a legitimate edit.

having the individual tags is just a no and its better to blacklist *slur than having every individual one

those words are used in art still, my recent upload and the artist commonly have art with the word fag and the variations
maybe directed words like nigger, retarded and others to be invalidated as it's used in a more directed approach and more generalized to be aliased to their respective slur tags, like retard to be aliased to ableist_slur instead of being invalidated

i'm all open for opinions to make a better bur so the admins can have the final decision

There is a fetish regarding those specific words, just like there is a fetish for being called homophobic slurs.

I like being called a fag, but racial slurs are too heavy for me, so I don’t want them to be mixed together.

The alias request was changed from
"faggot -> slur"
to the more precise
"faggot -> homophobic slur",
so I guess my initial objection doesn’t stand anymore.

Fag and faggot are the same word, one is just a shortened version of the other: we usually alias synonyms here, and they are synonyms, so it makes sense to alias them together imo.

Updated

Also: can "retarded" and "retard" be aliased to or imply "ableist slur" instead of being sent straight to invalid tag purgatory?

blame Wolfmanfur as forum #365475 included that retard to be invalidated
but i can do the change of being retarded being ableist_slur instead

the alias request that i made was always being to be homophobic slur because would you believe some words are targetted slurs?

how are these things mixed together
the bur as always targetted slurs to be aliased to their respective slur tag
and if you like being called a fag, it's your thing
doesn't apply to everyone

-1 because it's so common for these words to be tagged en-mass by trolls. They should all stay aliased to invalid_tag so they can't be used for trolling. Racial_slur, etc. are fine for blocking images that contain these words.
