How far do we go to protect people that aren't really insulted anyways? Get rid of all religious symbols? Remove all stereotypes like accents or genetic disorders? Force everybody to use gender neutral pronouns?

This is what concerns me the most.  The game is going to be very unenjoyable if we feel like we constantly have to make sure we don't say the wrong thing.  Banning racial slurs is pretty straight forward, but it gets more difficult when you ban terms that apply to more and more specific groups.

p.s.
I always thought sperghetti was referencing some meme from like 2006.

ditto. as said, i can understand and agree that racial slurs and the sort are not really good things to talk about, but you can only babyproof things so much that it turns into the poptropica word filter. im all for this game being enjoyable and not offensive, but you can only go a certian limit where you realize that on the internet, people will ALWAYS be mad about a certain topic, always.

if you disagree please feel free to yell back at me
