Description

If there are people that are really so sensitive that they feel the need to filter any image that contains a derivative of “fag” (including Rarifag, drawfag, samefag, etc.), couldn’t we go with a more neutral, less ideological tag? Something like “fag”?

I may have elaborated on the wrong paragraph, sorry if that was the case.
 
To sum up the events, a few months ago I mis-interpreted the reasoning behind removing images and comments that had used the word to include instances that weren’t being used in a directly insulting context. Simply put, I did not find any use of the word to be ‘acceptable’, short of the bundle of sticks or cigarette definitions. I then proceeded to delete almost all comments and images that contained the word, and yes, I caught flak from many for doing so. In contrast, what Enkidu has done is absolutely trivial, and not a use or abuse of power in any way.
 
I hope that clears everything up.

I’m saying that just because certain places may not openly associate the word negatively towards homosexuality, it doesn’t mean that the rest of the world holds the same view. If you ask anyone the meaning of faggot, I can pretty much guarantee they will almost all agree that it commonly refers to homosexuality and not in a complimentary way.
 
tl;dr  
Fag has not lost its usage or meaning as an insult referring to gay people.

If adding a tag that isn’t mandated, isn’t default filtered, and has no consequences, how is it abusing mod-powers?
 
Does anyone remember when I went around deleting every and anything that had to do with the word ‘fag’?  
Nope, no personal agenda of mine. Just a misunderstanding of what I was instructed to do. Enkidu adding a tag harmed not a single person.
 
 
@Whatevs  
“and fag ceased to refer to homosexuals a long time ago.”  
I don’t know about you, but in the world outside of 4chan, that word has far from lost its meaning and usage as a derogatory slur about homosexuals.

Looks like that tag no longer exists. There’s no record of it having been removed from this image or others so it must have undergone a mass-deletion by the mods.
 
Maybe words were had with Enkidu about using mod powers to suit oneself rather than serve the site and its users.

Thing I find the funniest about this picture is he still has to see that stupid “GIVE US FREE MONEY” box. Like, really dude? Get some adblock plus and custom filter that shit.
