[Concluded] drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament - Page 26

**drizzleRomanceGirl** · 07-13-2013, 02:37 AM

I don't like it either, but I've already said that anything not related to those two things are allowed. I would appreciate it if Zak changed his team name, but he doesn't have to.

**Shiki.** · 07-13-2013, 02:42 AM

that depends on your definition. Sexuality could be perceived as sexual.

A slur towards sexuality could also be grouped with that. It's your call. If you feel something is inappropriate it's your duty to stand up about it. If you missed something in your rules, just fix it. It isnt a big deal to amend the rules because you missed something.

If you knew Zak, you wouldn't take it seriously lol. I don't mind it and its not like anyone uses that word against homosexuals these days.

Additionally, you can make an argument it IS a sexually related term, and a crude one at that.

I find this very much untrue, but maybe it's just where you live.

**Shiki.** · 07-13-2013, 02:45 AM

So hypothetically, since it isnt a curse or sexual, someone could name their team

Team Nigerian TV Thieves.

Point being, that is racist as hell and not against the rules.

I personally don't really care. It's just a team name. Tsundere is going to destroy ******luck regardless. I just think there are more fun and creative names to choose from.

**FontSize72LOL** · 07-13-2013, 02:49 AM

I can make the argument that "Sexually related" is very relative to the person. There are all kinds of people with all kinds of sexual deviancy's and fetishes. The most non-sexual thing can be sexual to someone.

**Zakvvv666** · 07-13-2013, 02:50 AM

Well, I personally don't see why it should be that big of a deal since honestly the use of the word these days usually isn't even towards homosexuals but I guess I'll think of a new team name since everyone is so against me using it.

**bmah** · 07-13-2013, 02:52 AM

Just popping in to say that all team names are still bound to forum rules, and that includes terminology used in a deliberately derogatory fashion for kicks.

So if someone happened to name a team "Team Nigerian TV Thieves" for example, don't expect that to end well! Err on the side of caution.

You're pushing it with "****** luck" but I'm not going to put a vicegrip on you for that. I really recommend changing it however.

edit: Actually, gonna make that a request. It really isn't tasteful at all.

You're smart~ Be creative

Also at OP. following your rules something like, We Abuse Children

Would be a legit name ^_^ You should just at in the line "At my discretion"

Not tasteful either but this one isn't going to ring alarm bells. That's a fair example.

yup ^_^

Hence my name Tsundere

*HUGS BMAH*

**drizzleRomanceGirl** · 07-13-2013, 03:37 AM

Okay, I'm going to take Shiki.'s suggestion and not allow any phrases I think are inappropriate to my discretion. Also, like bmah said, your team name is not allowed Zak, and you will have to choose another team name. Try to think of something else that's your cup of tea (something that will suit your preferences).

**_Fluttershy_** · 07-13-2013, 04:08 AM

I'm not all that bothered about captains so yeah Travman's my pick.

I'm glad I could help ^_^

I'm so bad

Umm...you obviously don't know of the term then...its not referencing to the homosexuals, its referencing to literally how much luck a certain file need to score well on (ie: RWOB, P4U v2 (god that bg), HELLBEAT, any framer-fucked file, RAN, etc.)

Basically that would be like me

Let's name our team Child Rape

and be like yo, I'm talking about young Plants.

The context doesn't change how the word can be used and in a public setting like this it's too open to interpretation.

James May · 07-13-2013, 09:04 AM

so yeah

you're taking this too far. they explained what they were trying to convey, if you take it the wrong way then that's YOUR problem. you should just accept the fact that nobody was trying to be offensive and you're wrong about it. go away damn

**~Zeta~** · 07-13-2013, 09:43 AM

How about we just do away with team names lmao.

**TC_Halogen** · 07-13-2013, 09:43 AM

I'm terrible with team names. Raged, LightArrow, Op, Fallen -- any ideas/suggestions for what you might want?

EDIT: Mikey's idea is fantastic -- let's just do away with them altogether lol
