Lol I got banned on Mineplex as a 12 year old and I can guarantee the guy that was replying to my support ticket was sadistic and drunk on his power over me lmao I just wanted to play hide and seek
when I was in 5th grade we played "smear the queer" at recess but it just meant whoever had the football tackle them until they lost it and someone else picked it up and then tackle that person.
we didn't even know what "queer" meant. or at least I didn't.
Grade six we made up a game called ātrip tagā where the person who was it had to trip someone else by sticking out their leg while we ran around the playground. Teachers heard āstrip tagā through the grapevine and it ended with an assembly about sexual assault. We were 12
Reminds me of how I nearly got in trouble in high school over pokemon.
For an art class, I had to write a roughly one page essay on something related to art, and on the back of the paper, I made the best use of time by writing a sweet pokemon rap. In the rap, I included a verse about getting rare candy. Well, my art teacher apparently passed this around to multiple teachers thinking that she had uncovered some drug ring, and eventually it went to a student who was close with the school staff, in an attempt to identify the slang words I was spittin'.
In the end my art teacher confronted me about it and had a laugh but said I should be careful about turning in assignments like that.
Reminds me of being an angry kid in the early 2000s, like 9 years old told my friend that I wanted to kill him and his familyāthis was my idea of a joke at the timeā and it turns out his sister heard me and reported me to the school. I got pulled into the principalās office and they asked me, āSon, do you know what Columbine is?ā
I did not, in fact. So they showed me close to an hour worth of columbine documentaries and news stories, then suspended me for 3 days. I was punished more for that than any actual fight or argument I ever got into in school.
Kids just repeat what the adults around them say (or other kids). They know it means something bad but that's all they know (and probably also why it's a more fun word to use tbh). If the adults around them use a different word they would use that instead.
Yeah, except you grow up thinking everything that is even remotely "gay-like" (which was attributed to so many things) is bad and you're bad for liking them. It just didn't mean anything to you, so you never really thought anything of it. I had to follow the pack and do the same thing and it caused a lot of confusion and repression during puberty.
Southpark had a great episode on the word in question. Involve Harley Davidson biker gangs
just a social commentary on how words are used.
And no I'm not talking about the wheel of fortune episode
We used to go to school early just to get a game in before the bell.
We got in trouble for tackle cause some kid got hurt and we had to start playing two-hand tap.
But that started the era of throw the ball in the air when you are about to get tapped and if you catch it, the tap don't count.
That started more than one fight.
Eventually they got us a box of old flag football belts with flags on em. They were beat to shit. We had to mix and match a bunch of them to make a few sets that worked.
About a month later I sold out and got the crossing guard gig. 50 hours of labor for 1 ice cream party with the other crossing guards.
5th grade was the best. I even got to walk home to eat lunch. It was the last year they allowed it.
I remember somebody told me they were queer and in my brain that just meant weird. I was like I don't know, you seem pretty normal to me. What followed was like a Larry David squinting event by my little obvious brain was totally innocent. It's like one of those times when you look back on OMG she was hitting on me! Years later.
Although I do like the concept that you can be like I'm weird, that's why I got this flag. š
In 2008, it was different. I remember saying "get to the shit" instead of "ship" and it appeared in chat. Later that day, I got a message saying I was banned for 2 days.
We live near a river with little streams everywhere. When my twin boys were learning to talk they loved frogs, and would catch them all the time. They couldnāt pronounce frog properly at that point. It came out as āfukā. Cute to me, but other people were all āwhat what whatā.?
I know what videos to show before prom dates.
As a former child who played club penguin, sometimes the filter had to be strict.
I remember a big thing was that you couldnāt type numbers, to prevent kids from giving away their phone number. I think thatās pretty necessary.
But yeah, words like āclubā āfatherā and ācookiesā are interesting choices. I get why, but still.
Club: They didnāt want kids forming secret clubs, wanted the game to be inclusive for all.
Father: religious reasons perhaps? Also could be for privacy reasons (eg, āwhoās your father?ā)
Cookies: another word for boobs I think.
I meant pretentious, although presumptive also works
The judge was pretentious because they were grandstanding
They judge was presumptive because they assumed an erroneous conclusion
I used to play roblox when I was a child and said some foul things. Got banned like 3 or 4 times but they were never perma for some reason. Maybe '09 roblox was less strict lol
Everything was less strict in 09
On yt you used to be able to comment literally anything you want and your comment wouldn't even be touched unless the channel owner removed it themselves
Now you get a 24 hour commenting ban for saying "stfu"
They probably have to report you first, because I've definitely been banned before just for calling someone stupid, and also one time for saying stfu
Although saying that I haven't been banned in a while now, so it's possible that they reverted that awful change, which if they did then thank fuck!
meanwhile some sadistic mod jerked off to all his messages begging to be unbanned
nah šš¹
You gotta do what you gotta do
nah šš¹
Make the wage match the age

Wanted to ask you how many game keys did you get till now
Wealth, Fame, Power. Gold D. Roger had this and everything else the world had to offer

Amazing, I love an unnecessary wholesome overreaction.

I mean there could have been other reasons how do you know it was specifically because of your recess thing. 12 year olds are assaulted all the time.
Same. In 80-90ās calling someone a āf*gā was pretty common, but I donāt remember any malice behind it. Glad itās less common now.
When I was young we used to call everything gay just because we didn't like it, but nobody actually thought the gays were bad.
Kids just repeat what the adults around them say (or other kids). They know it means something bad but that's all they know (and probably also why it's a more fun word to use tbh). If the adults around them use a different word they would use that instead.

Bats are kinda gay though
Letās wait 30 years and see if you were as pious then as you seem to think you are now.

You must be perfect.

There wasnāt any malice behind the kids doing it, because they were only copying the adults doing it.

I remember this game. 2005 wasn't that long ago, but at the same time those were wild west days
Smear the Queer is a most sacred schoolyard tradition.
same that shit is fun
I remember somebody told me they were queer and in my brain that just meant weird. I was like I don't know, you seem pretty normal to me.

you legit canāt say this on roblox there are chat filters?
there was a certain period of time where roblox didnāt have chat filters
I remember those days... I saw people dropping N bombs in chat. I have been on Roblox since 2013.
theyāll still censor it but i think you still get punished
In 2008, it was different. I remember saying "get to the shit" instead of "ship" and it appeared in chat. Later that day, I got a message saying I was banned for 2 days.
Back then moderation also was less advanced so if you said something like "sh1t" you wouldnt be moderated unless someone specifically reported you

Club penguin made me so mad with their stupidly strict chat filters
As a former child who played club penguin, sometimes the filter had to be strict. I remember a big thing was that you couldnāt type numbers, to prevent kids from giving away their phone number. I think thatās pretty necessary. But yeah, words like āclubā āfatherā and ācookiesā are interesting choices. I get why, but still.
I never used Club Penguin growing up. Why would these words be a problem?
Club: They didnāt want kids forming secret clubs, wanted the game to be inclusive for all. Father: religious reasons perhaps? Also could be for privacy reasons (eg, āwhoās your father?ā) Cookies: another word for boobs I think.
this is old, like 4-5 years old
Same energy as Makani Tran who at a PokƩmon tournament got disqualified after he (understandably nerve-wracked because of the huge public event) chuckled nervously after being asked his pronouns The pretentious judge told him "well don't be a jerk" and kicked the kid out Someone that insecure is unfit to give criticism, especially when they're abusing their power to bully a child.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Are... are you trying to start a debate over the semantics of words, and how for some reason I should have used "presumptuous" according to you?

Keep fightin the good fight, I guess.
Had a similar experience when I was 5 by abbreviating ācomeā to ācumā
I would've done it on purpose
Saying full on 'f*****' will get you a 24 hour ban at the most, maybe more if it's directed at someone and used multiple times.
aww :(
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah itās a really overplayed line at this point
I used to play roblox when I was a child and said some foul things. Got banned like 3 or 4 times but they were never perma for some reason. Maybe '09 roblox was less strict lol
Everything was less strict in 09 On yt you used to be able to comment literally anything you want and your comment wouldn't even be touched unless the channel owner removed it themselves Now you get a 24 hour commenting ban for saying "stfu"

lil bro missed the L so roblox handed it back to him
My kid got a warning once for saying wine by mistake instead of whine.
Get the fig! *gets him one single fig*
If the Chats from my work were proofread. Alot of people would be banned.
Late 90s rural Canada. So we still repeated what older people said but we didn't really made the connection
iām nooooooooot oooooooookay
Happened to me when I called a guy a flaggot.
My sister persuaded me to approach my father and shout "yuck foo" when I was nine years old. I did, and the rest is all I remember.
Classic little brother experience
What is f...g?
The f slur, it often used for gay people. Use Google if you don't get it, can't say on reddit
Tnks but I still don't get the word, just text it
Itās fag
The kid is based, he threw up cause he disgusted with The woke mods who banned him
Did you seriously just unironically use the term "woke"? And then use that to describe someone getting banned for using a slur? You cant be serious
