    And pirating Windows isn’t stealing, since buying it doesn’t entitle you to ownership of the software. But we’ll just have to continue to disagree, won’t we?

    Did they remember to add Micro$lop to their slur filter?

    The moderators of online communities have every right to manage the content of those communities as they see fit, as long as they’re within legal bounds.

    That said, individuals also have the right to call said moderators a bunch of clueless asshats when they make dumbass decisions, as long as they’re abiding by the policies of the space where they’re saying it.

    Microsoft banning the word “Microslop” from their Discord isn’t censorship is well within their legal rights, but they are a bunch of clueless asshats for thinking that it was a good idea.

        I think it would be more like saying “you’re on a bad path” to a friend in their house, and then getting kicked out.

      I think that definition simply doesn’t reflect how the word is used anymore.

      In English, the definition is based on how the word is used, not the other way around.
