  • Twitch Says =?UTF-8?B?4oCcWmlvbmlzdOKAnQ==?= Can Be A Punishable Slur

    Now you can be accused of slurring someone by using a term they coined
    to describe their own movement? <https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/15/24297474/twitch-says-zionist-can-be-a-punishable-slur>.

    Twitch are saying you cannot “attack or demean another individual or
    group of people on the basis of their background or religious belief”.

    Whose fault is it, exactly, that “Zionist” has become a disreputable
    term? Could it be because the whole point of Zionism is to engage in
    activities that the world is increasingly recognizing as being
    disreputable?

    What became of 'Oriental rugs' or the "United Negro College Fund' or
    'NAACP'? Can't say 'midget' any longer either.

    Another reason to boycott that service.
