Use of 't***' as a means of insult is offensive and not allowed here.

I didn't call Trump a "t***." I called him a "d*****." https://www.dictionary.com/browse/dotard
A Mod/Admin said on 8/19/2018 2:05:01 PM:
That does not make it any less acceptable to post. Please refrain from using that verbiage on the boards in the future.


Wow.

Apparently a firm grasp of the english language isn't a requirement for gfaqs mods.

Gee I wonder why this ridiculous moderation out of all the other ridiculous ones has received such community outrage


You all ruffled bout Trump buds?

Topics about bad mods always get plenty of reaction from both sides. What you wanna see and what's happening don't line up. Kinda like Trump most of the time actually.

Funny how certain words are disallowed because they look similar to other offensive words. For example, I bet youd get modded for using this adjective meaning stingy or miserly:

What? It has no etymological relationship to the n-word. It just happens to look similar.

I'm a guy that complains about the mods letting their liberal friends get away with so much, but this is just stupid.

Why is it okay to call Trump supporters names, but it's not okay to call Trump who isn't a user here a name?

The rules are so fucking inconsistent now.

Let's be honest, we all know why someone would possibly want to use that word here. We don't have to play dumb or coy about it. They'll want to use it exactly because it looks similar to that word

Lol

Google "dotard" and pay close attention to the origin. It has no parallel to the r-word or "mental disorders"

From Google's definition

an old person, especially one who has become weak or senile.

The r-word's origin is also really benign, so why does that matter

Okay let me make this simpler for you

Look up "dote"

"R*****" literally means to make slower. As in speed, not brain function.

It's almost like the reason it's offensive has nothing to do with its literal definition.
