Good afternoon Fellows and Gents.

We require your opinion and would be grateful for it. No opinion on this matter will be frowned upon. Please be as direct as you wish.

One of our esteemed members (mostly a forum lurker – but site reader and visitor) contacted us about some words making the site register as “not work friendly”. In other words, colorful metaphors send off alarms that scream YOU CANT READ THIS HERE!!!! He was very clear about enjoying reading them but didn’t want to be auto emailed an alert from his place of business about our website not being a “safe space”. He wanted his email changed for this reason.

We actually went back and forth on this many times and want to know what you think.

Do you think we should eliminate 4-letter words (and such) from our articles, or spot-clean forum posts with automated friendly character inserts?

Yahoo and Facebook are the type of gynocrazy websites saturated with people who report “abuse”, delete sh*T and get “offended”. We don’t give a rat’s patoo-ey about them. But Yahoo will even censor 4 letter words and make them look like *****. This is to a point which is so ridiculous, they even edit perfectly legitimate words – like “negro”. Typing “nergo” on Yahoo is considered offensive and “racist”…. but donating money to the “United Negro College Fund” is perfectly acceptable and openly encouraged. Anyone can see the glaring hypocrisy in that.

See how it also becomes a problem?

On one hand, a good command of the English language makes it possible to virtually KILL with a few well chosen words, and no profanity is ever necessary. On the other hand, swearing also makes a good point …. a GREAT f~~~ing point.

Thoughts?

This was originally suggested by me for those of us that have work emails, so that we’d have greater exposure to the material without getting in trouble at work. I think just having a disclaimer that there will be not commonly accepted language would be a good caveat so people that sign up as members don’t use a professional email to do so. That’s all.

Thanks for stepping forward Stanley, and happy to see you joined using another private email.
Your previous user has been deleted, and no association with your previous business address currently exists.

It’s a question we’ve been wanting to ask, and this is as good a reason as any. Thanks Stanley.
A one-time alert is a good idea.

Personally, I love to swear. I also don’t believe that we should censor ourselves just to avoid offending someone. Nobody has a right to not be offended. Being offended at language is just whining disguised as altruism.

On the other hand……..I would gladly follow such rules of decorum in this forum if it meant that the message can be more freely distributed.

@vilenord Thats a surprise coming from you. I consider you Shakespeare of the f~~~ing forum and have only read the classiest s~~~ from you. But if you f~~~ing love to swear then I am f~~~ing standing f~~~ing next to you all the f~~~ing way, my good man. Decorum can lick me where I stink, really.

Thank you for your input. Big smile over here.

I only use profane language to get an extreme point across but I like to believe my command of the English allows my different avenues to proper self expression. It makes no difference if I can use certain words and if it makes this website more accessible sure censor it up. Ouch, I think I just felt the founding fathers roll over in their graves over that one…….

It goes against the spirit of MGTOW. Saying that though, I’ve been giving this some thought recently. A few years ago when I was a blue pill mangina I would have seen the use of language here as a way to rationalise ignoring MGTOW completely so I could go on worshipping the mother goddess. I think it comes down to what we are trying to achieve here. Are we here to talk to other MGTOW/TFL guys? or are we here to convert blue pill men?

The question of making this site work safe is moot. This site is not work safe. There is no way I would access this site at work even if the language is more acceptable. I knew a guy that was fired from a US laboratory for accessing a website on vegetarianism. This is a bit more controversial than that. Anyone looking at MGTOW material at work is playing with fire. Let’s not forget that we are all evil in the eyes of most people.

I LOVE that. Galileo was “evil” and branded a heretic, exiled and sentenced to death (by the church) for proving the Earth is not the center of the Universe. But the Earth is not the center of the universe. It’s not even the center of the solar system!!

“Most people”.

The truth is not determined by the number of people who subscribe to it.
When “most people” think you’re evil, you’re probably right.

Thank you for chiming in, Sigma.

Getting “offended”, I can see women jumping on that ban wagon, but because those f~~~ing c~~~s aren’t allowed in this awesome f~~~ing place, i say f~~~ um!. This place is therapeutic in a sense that we air s~~~ out, share stories, help other men swallow the red pill, and yes we F~~~ING swear. however, for myself if i really get into it, i gotta f~~~ing swear. As far as censorship goes i think in only threatening words and racist language should one be censored.

I’m with Vilenord and Keymaster.
