vorticity Wrote:I gotta say http://allthetropes.org/wiki/Topic:Tes57lv9kpude9w2 makes me unsettled. It's clearly in a context of personal communication between two people who know each other (I hope!). But seeing "faggot" float by on Recent Changes is not awesome, and will probably make some people uncomfortable. And then there's going to be the people who interpret it as hate speech, although a lot of them will consider Category:Turn-On Tropes as hate speech too. Not sure what to do.My first thought on seeing that was "there's a time and a place for that sort of thing, and I'm not sure ATT is it."
My second thought was of paragraph 6 of the Policy for Wiki Staff.
My third thought was that my second thought trumps my first thought... so,. as long as there aren't any complaints, I'm not going to touch it.
