How Much is Too Much?

Oct 04, 2007 20:41


Hello all. An issue has been brought to the attention of the mods, and I would just like to make a brief post about it. I know mod posts are not the most fun, but this is something that will hopefully help the community to run a bit smoother ( Read more... )

totally serious question: can we say she looks like a man?

why not say that she has masculine features or find something else to say since every post about her has that brought up and it's clearly not new, news, or changing

Calling Jaslene a tranny is an insult to trannies, and I mean that both humorously and seriously.

On a completely serious and more practical note, I would just ask the mods to be equally pro-active and diligent about other offensive statements. I haven't seen homophobia here (probably due to the large number of gay men who post here, including myself) but I have seen some racially/culturally insensitive and other downright offensive comments that should have been handled as firmly as you're handling this issue.

Lastly I would just ask that the mods put this announcement in the FAQ or the community rules - since the community is so active there's a good chance a lot of people will miss this notice, especially people who join the community in the coming weeks as the cycle progresses.

Anyway thanks for the great work guys.

You are ALWAYS welcome to point out anything like that to us on this post. With a community this large, some things like that do slip through the cracks, so we appreciate it when people bring them to our attention.

major applause, both to you for noticing and wanting the slurs out and for the mods who make sure it happens

I'm not a big fan of Jaslene, but it is getting a little tiring. Yeah, she has very strong features, we get it, move on...

It's about time someone stepped in. But as usual there are the morons who still keep going on and on and on....... She won and she's a woman. Grow up.
