I'm assuming like most I felt it was light hearted ... although I could see why anyone with that name (and women in general) would be upset with the term. I know, I hadn't realised either. I suspect the only reason most don't is the direction the racism is aimed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 The swear filter is one of those backstage bits that needs periodic updating to reflect and suit the current culture. There is one choice swear word which thankfully has never been used and tripped the filter but if it ever is, it will leave a henhouse full of eggs over the poster’s face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
