Why has this whole ‘change the word that we use for hanging salem witches’ thing happened in first place?

shrugs

im surprised it didnt happen sooner now that i think about it?

How the hell do people get offended that we’re using a word to hang salem witches
I don’t understand
The only people that have the right to complain are women whom may have been actually offended for being a ‘witch’ or something in a cult.

Reminder just in general MU isnt even forcing people to change. Just suggesting better words and that the only people who will 100% follow are mods, hosts, and the bot

Because the admins know it’s absolutely stupid but are having to abide by the community

In a champs game, a scum went ballistic when people were trying to lynch him and using that word, among other things. The scum player was, coincidentally, of a dark skin color, and a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement. Put two and two together.

He got extremely angry, screenshotted the names of all the scum in his mafia role PM, and posted the screenshot in the thread, canning the game.

Now, I’m not saying that it’s the exact reason why the motion to change the word exists, but it was definitely a contributor. It was also an unprecedented situation in Champs.

for the record

I do not think this is an appropriate response to use of the word in question :upside_down_face:

this is a hot take

I feel like you can’t/won’t be able to fully understand this without experiencing it yourself.

Me neither, but the precedent is there now.

And did that player intentionally target that person with the word or was it casual use
Can I just be linked the game actually

The funny thing is that all three starting wolves replaced out in that game. Good meme.

And 2/3 people who replaced in did an excellent job. They went into people’s towncores.

i feel like there’s a joke to be made but it’s probably mildly insensitive

either way

being more inclusive at the cost of “trying to not use a word” is a decent deal imo

Okay so I’m reading the last posts
Did the moderator intentionally target them with that word for the color of their skin
