Do people really take offence though? I understand if somebody is harassing you in chat are saying like you should kill yourself or you need to gunned them down but just saying nigga in chat? Do people really get offended by this like I don't think anybody has ever been triggered by the word nigga by this most of the time they're just butt hurt and want to get back at the person

Its all about context and the manner in which it was said, staff (GMs in particular) really seem to struggle with this concept. I understand that rules implemented by staff are very black and white (pun intended) so that there is no grey area for arguing.
That being said I really feel that this type of ruling really kills of the community feel and freedom that games need. I think Toribash is waaaaaay to over-moderated and a much more relaxed take on rules creates a much less "Staff vs Players" atmosphere.
I'm sure in 99% of reports no one is offended. I think there is very very few genuine racists in the toribash community. Out of the 100s that say nigga i think none are actually racist. The only real racist person in the toribash community i can think of is Fish.
Fish never got banned for being racist (one of the only real racists) where as 100s of people having fun and casually using the word nigga have been banned.
don't make this something that it isn't. has this word been widely known to equate to racism? yeah. has the meaning begun to change in modern times? yeah. but you can't assume people aren't offended by the word because you perceived it as being said in a joking, non-serious or non-harmful manner. so in that regard, if someone is reported for being "racist" you have to assume that the person who reported this was offended by what was said.
in regards to "racist jokes" aren't always racist, just re-read what you wrote man. if they are called racist jokes they aren't appropriate. they play off stereotypes and prejudice against a race.
teeth marks on my goosebumps, the chains frostbit me.

Yeah, I can see that, but I'm glad there are rules about it, even if they are shifted too far one way or the other.
Good morning sweet princess
from my perspective, honestly it's all about what your intentions are with the word. if you're saying it in a disrespectful tone obviously trying to piss me or someone else off then don't be surprised if you catch fade. if not, it's cool no matter what your race is. as far as toribash goes, the bans for saying nigga are unnecessary. i've seen bans for it if it's even heard in a casual conversation between 2 people ingame. the assumption that the word is automatically offensive to everyone obviously isn't the case and if we really want to protect people's feelings i think the people who might be offended should speak up.

I agree. If someone was offended by the term "nigga" then they speak up. Having it be automatically offensive is just as racist.
